My styl f s 56 rc has new plug and when I pull string it has a weak spark will not start

These small engines have ignition units that work off speed of rotation, so once the engine starts the spark increases, if there is a spark there is a weak spark there I would say its ok, you maybe have a fuelling issue, does the plug get wet after a few cranks?

Pulley is stuck how do you resolve problem?

Pulley ? What pulley?
If you mean the recoil starter pull cord is stuck it might be a simple fix. Did your machine tip over on its side?
If it did oil often flows into the cylinder. Just remove the spark plug. The recoil cord should pull easily and oil will spurt out the spark plug opening. Pull until oil stops coming out. Check your oil level. Replace your spark plug and see if she starts.

Spark Plug

Every chainsaw relies on a spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture for proper combustion. Over time the electrode on the spark plug will burn away and the engine does not start. If the engine does not start, remove and inspect the spark plug. If there is any doubt that the plug is working properly replace it.

Carburetor

If the chainsaw won't start, the carburetor might be clogged or have bad fuel in the float bowl. If old fuel was left in the chainsaw for a long time some of the volatile ingredients may have evaporated, leaving a thicker, stickier product that is more like varnish or shellac. This sticky fuel can clog up the small jets and ports in the carburetor and it can be difficult to burn making it hard to start the engine. The only solution is to drain the old fuel from the float bowl and thoroughly clean the carburetor with carburetor cleaner. If that isn't effective, replace the entire carburetor.

On - Off Switch

Chainsaws are equipped with an on/off switch. If the chainsaw does not start, this switch might be defective. Check the switch for continuity. In the on position the switch should have continuity.

Safety Switch

If the chainsaw does no start, the safety switch - or throttle control switch - might be defective. If the switch isn't engaging with the throttle it won't provide enough fuel to the engine and the engine does not start.
Enter your model number to see parts for your chainsaw.

Ignition Coil

If the chainsaw engine does not start the spark plug may not be getting voltage. Power to the spark plug is provided by the ignition coil. The ignition coil is mounted next to the flywheel. As the flywheel spins an electrical current is induced by the ignition coil. If the ignition coil is defective it will need to be replaced, it is not serviceable.

Rewind Spring

The recoil starter assembly has a rewind spring which spins the pulley backward to rewind the starter rope. If the rewind assembly is broken the rope will not rewind and the engine does not start.

Recoil Starter

Recoil Starter Pulley

The recoil starter pulley winds up the starter rope when not in use. If the recoil starter pulley is broken or stuck it may not rewind the rope and the engine does not start.

87-88 fiero runs but only tops out at about 30 after i get up to speed which takes a good block or two slowly. smokes a little but i think its because it has sat for 6 plus years. any tests i can run or...

I had the same problem, maybe 25MPH top speed and difficult to start. Changed out the old gas, installed fresh high octane-problem was worse.
The ignition system was faulty. Pull a High voltage wire and you should see a bright blue spark and hear a crackling noise. If you see a weak yellow spark, you found your problem.
Could be a bad/weak ignition module-rather famous in a Fiero due to heat exposure. Bad pickup coil in the distributor. I replaced the entire (rusty) distributor with a new/rebuilt unit a long with a new Ignition module. Solved the problem!

What are the symptoms of a bad coil on my Poulan chainsaw? Mine only sparks at high RPM's, as tested with my electic drill motor spinning the engine and grounding the removed spark plug to the engine...

There has to be a reasonable spark at hand cranking speed, with most electronic ignitions they work off speed of rotation so you do need to crank the engine at a fair speed, check the air gap between the flywheel magnet and the ignition core, this should be around 0.3mm, if there is not spark at all when cranked well it will be a replacement unit required.

I tried using quick start on it, but all that did was make it sputter a bit, so I am assuming that the fuel is not reaching the cylinders, anyone have any ideas?

1) Check for spark remove one of the plugs, connect the plug wire to it and ground spark plug base to a good ground , such as the cylinder head , position the plug so you can see the electrodes , crank the engine over , a fat blue spark should be evident. 2)If the spark is good , check for one or more of the following possible malfunctions 1) Obstructed fuel line or filter.2) leaking head gasket(s)3) low compression. If the spark is not good, check one or more of the following a) Weak ignition coil(s) b) Weak CDI unit. c)Loose electrical connections. d) Dirty electrical connections. e)Loose or broken ignition coil ground wire. f) Broken or shorted high tension lead to the spark plug. Difficulty in starting. Check for fouled spark plugs, Improperly adjusted choke, contaminated fuel system, improperly adjusted carburetor,weak ignition unit,weak ignition coil (s), poor compression
