Afternoon....I have a Homelite super 2 that is hard to start. If |
|
I take the muffler off it fires right up a;most first pull every |
|
time. |
|
My question...do you clean the muffler , replace it ? Is this |
|
normal for chainsaw not to start if muffler dirty. |
|
Thanks in advance ...Walter |

If the muffler is plugged up, the motor cannot move air through |
|
itself, and you will not get a charge of gas in the cylinder to |
|
burn. I'm thinking that you might have a spark arrestor screen |
|
in the muffler that is plugged with exhaust residue. If so, you |
|
can take it apart and burn it off with a torch until it's clean. |
|
Make sure to do it outside because there will be a lot of |
|
smoke! |
