My chainsaw is fairly new, but its had issues running when warm since the 2nd or 3rd time that I've used it. Anymore, its very hard to spin the motor with the pull cord. And impossible to start it, it seems.
I've attempted to ensure that there's not extra fuel in the cylinder by removing the spark plug for extended periods of time (periodically spinning the motor.) The motor spins very easily with no spark plug. I've removed the exhaust and carb, but as long as the spark plug is installed, it remains extremely difficult to turn it over.
I'd love to DIY repair this. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
