When I was going to college I worked at a tool rental center and learned may tricks about tools. At this rental center chainsaws were seasonal thus sat in the warehouse probably as in your situation. Well one is supposed to store a chainsaw without any fuel and discard any old fuel mix because it will not keep. To easily start a saw that was in storage we would install a new spark plug, add fresh fuel mix and spray carburetor cleaner directly into the carbureter to get it started. Once started fresh fuel would be drawn into the engine from the tank and keep running. If you forgot to drain the old fuel, do it now and use the trick above. For best results, always use a fresh plug. Enjoy

no spark at plug sends you back to magnita/transformer. ohm it out to see if it has resistance. it should read low resistance. good luck and have a great day please rate bama46, thanks

Is the carburetor a Walbro brand? If so, there is a 12 page PDF paper that describes theory, and maintenance. Go to:

SOURCE: pcn4040 ryobi chainsaw oiler not working

Hello. Many times the bar and chain oil is a wee bit too thick. Other times, the oiler gets gunked up with a combination of bar oil and sawdust. I want you to do two things here. First of all clean the oiler thoroughly with some kerosene and a small brush, like an old tooth brush. Second, add a small amount of kerosene to the bar and chain oil itself to thin it down a bit. That way it will flow better. Just don't thin it down too much. Joe


4 thumbs up please. ty.

Hello. Although this schematic is not exactly your model it will show you how to get to the oil pump. http://hcpi.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=HML531&session=0ab23ef9-141d-4254-8c9a-35e130708e56&cat=3&TF=epcFrame&assem=5035&ignoreHist=Yes&level=1

That said, many times, the bar and chain oil is too thick for these electric models. Thin yours down with a wee bit of kerosene and it will flow better for you. Joe

4 thumbs up please. ty.
