Try pouring a small amount of fuel mix into the spark lug hole and try for start. If it pops several times, then check the fuel filter, air filter, and muffler for plugging. Check the condition of the fuel lines and primer bulb. Does the primer bulb draw fuel into itself after several pumps? If still no help, go to: http://www.drystacked.com for a 12 page PDF article on Walbro brand carburetor theory and troubleshooting help. Pay particular attention to the location of the lower chamber gasket as shown in the article. Hope this helps!

Homelite xl chainsaw won't start. I took out spark plug, put in some fuel and if fired right up. But won't run.

You need to clean out the carb. possibly replace the Needle Valve and check the Diaphram for stiffness. Also check the fuel line for cracks and rott.

No spark

Electronic ignitions on chainsaws work off speed of rotation so you need to give it a good crank over to see a spark, normally if there is a spark of some type they are ok, once they fire up and the rotation speed of the engine increases so will the spark.

Homelite ut10560 chainsaw good compression, good spark but won't start, not even a hint of turning over, whats wrong

check your fuel lines for cracks carb screen (if it has one) or jets might be clogged , also, I have a husk 350, fired only with gas in the carb, would not run at all just start and off. would not fire at all without doing that. the head bolts were little lose. I tightened them down put it back together, and that was the problem.

Spark plug gap

hi kathy. this is an easy one. first of all you will need a spark plug gapping tool, about a dollar at any auto parts store. Your chain saw most likely calls for PLUG TYPE: Champion CJ6 SPARK PLUG GAP: 0.025 in. (0.63 mm).

Here is the website of a short video to show you exactly how to gap the spark plug. write back if you need any more info.
