Awwww man, nothing worse than potentially making yourself look like a complete noddy in front of peers :angel:. Me thinks I have found my problem:o. I bought the chainsaw about 18mths ago and I had the instructions etc then something happened to it and wouldnt work. Was going to sell it in a garage sale...no one would buy it. Ended up giving to a mate of mine...farmer....and he got it checked out for me...chain was on wrong way or something....anyway it worked now. Only started using it again..........thought I just put petrol in it as the cap says unleaded. Didnt even think about it being a 2 stroke......as I do mix the fuel/oil for my whipper snipper. Does that mean the chainsaw is toast or can I do something to fix it? Are they all 2 stroke...could there be some possibility that it can just take unleaded? Thanks
Regards
Stevo
OK I'm with Harry now, you shouldn;t use a chainsaw:eek:
Thanks mate, though wont be telling SWMBO...she already thinks Im handymanless:angel:. I am a keen learner though, never had mechancial apptitude, but so far have put chain back on chainsaw......got belt back on ride on underneath...what a proick of a job that was.....and built an enclosure with star pickets and dog fencing. Will tryQuote:
well done for owning up to it Stevo:D:D

and see what the outcome is. At least I havent put petrol in the diesel.........yet :o,Quote:
Oooops !
Drain what's left in the tank, mix up some correct fuel, pull the plug, fill it up and with the plug out pull it over with the starter cord quite a few times.
Put the plug back in and see if it starts.
It may work, but the innards won't be too flash :(

But if you'd put diesel in the chainsaw it would still be OK!Quote:

Stevo,
will it still pull over or has it completely seized?
Dont bother going 2 a mower shop , they as someone else said will only laugh & point u towards the new saws:mad:.
As a commercial operater of 2 stroke machinery its so frustrating 2 be told, "U know as a commercial operator they have a limited life span" after only 3 months:mad:.
If its completely seized u could try removing the plug &spraying a little lubricant down the bore , the take the starter off & try & turn the crank over with a spanner. Good luck!:).
Cheers Dean.
mate another oops moment, only ran it on unleaded eh, hmm diagnosis its probably stuffedd.
Will have to agree with those who have the major phobias on chainsaws, bin it.
