Got spark and fuel
Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
If fuel is making its way to the cylinder and the plug is wet then check the following
1) For clogged spark arrestor if fitted with one.
2) Compression – Needs to be at least 100 psi to ignite the fuel mix
3) Flywheel shear key – A sheared key will have the ignition timing too far off to start.

If your STIHL chainsaw is going to have a problem, it`s likely to be with a worn carburetor, bad spark plugs, loose fuel hoses, or clogged fuel lines. You should also inspect the fuel intake system and ensure that there are no compression issues.
The carburetor might be clogged and needs to be cleaned.

A chainsaw`s carburetor mixes air and fuel to start the internal combustion engine. If fuel has been left in the engine for too long, it can become sticky and clog the carburetor, preventing it from starting. If the clog is minor, clean out the carburetor.

One tell-tale sign that a chainsaw has flooded is the smell of fresh petrol near the muffler. To ascertain whether this is indeed the problem, simply disassemble the part, pull the starter cord as if you were switching on the engine, then dry it, reassemble it and try switching it on again.

Bad Spark Plugs

If the engine holds compression well, and the fuel system is working correctly, but it still won`t start, that tells us that your car`s spark plugs may not be working. The spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture inside the engine`s cylinders.

Trying to start your car without much gas in the tank? This may be the problem! Many cars simply won`t start at all if there is a very low fuel level in the tank, even if there`s enough fuel to drive for a few miles. In general, it`s a bad idea to drive around with an extremely low fuel level in your tank.
