Echo Chainsaw- No Compression

[GreenZ]

That saw has a decompression button that will cause that. It is the small button on top of the saw, if it is pressed in you won’t have much compression.

Beware of premixed fuel. Many failures due to inconsistent mixes in the can.

I learned this the expensive way. Never will use the stuff going forward.

Gummed up. Pull the plug, fill cylinder up with Sea Foam, let it sit for a couple days, drain, add fresh gas. Try it. If it doesn't work, trash it

I just filled it up with seafoam. Will let it sit and then drain. Will drain the premix fuel and use the stuff that I mixed properly.

Also, I pulled the plug and stuck my finger in there when I pulled the rope. Not sure if its a good measurement of compression but I cant keep my finder stuck in the whole when I pull the rope.

If these dont work I will try some of the other suggestions.

If it popped your finger off then you got enough compression.
