Why does my chainsaw start then die when I give it gas?

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED

Chainsaw Bog Down - very frustrating! This video shows you some reasons and remedies, but more than anything else it gives you a firm understanding of what is happening inside the carburetor for this to happen. So if you have any of the popular brands such husqvarna chainsaw (such as the husqvarna 440, husqvarna 120 mark ii, or any other petrol gasoline powered saw), the Stihl Mini Chainsaw, Stihl Saw, Stihl MS 250, or any budget petrol chainsaw, then you will find some great advice here to help on the way. Bring the power back to your Power Chainsaw.

This principle works for most types of Chainsaw saws, and the following also helps with Chainsaw maintenance. So, whether you are using a Stihl Chainsaw, Husquvarna Chainsaw, basically, all types of Petrol Chainsaw are valid for this principle, as well as many types of or a 2 Stroke Engine. The Electric Chainsaw, of course, escapes this whole principle!

This is quite possibly the single most valuable diagnostic video I have ever seen.

Having worked on plant and small engines for years this truly imparts years of experience to those hungry to learn. Well done.

I've seen some good video's about small engine repairs but I must say this video is tops. I;m a retired Loco maintainer/Motor mechanic so I understand the detailed processes you have covered. Well done.

Comprehensive, clear, informative and free of glitz and spin. First class!

Hi Guys. I meant to mention in the video that the High Jet is usually NOT separate from the main Jet, as in the video I have shown them as separate. Usually, the High Jet adjustment Screw simply adjusts the amount of fuel that comes out of the main Jet itself. I have shown the Main Jet as separate in this video just to try and explain a principle of how Jets and their adjustment screws work. I hope this makes things clear rather than more complex. I'm really Sorry if it has. Also, another thing I should have mentioned is that the examples I have shown are mainly based around a lack of fuel getting to the engine as a cause of engine bog. Of course, too much fuel getting to the engine can also cause the engine to die as well. I will make a future video showing this. Again apologies for not mentioning this. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my videos. Craig

I have been in the small engine repair business for a few years. One can never get tired of watching these videos. This one is well done and one of the better by far videos out here on the net. This is a must watch video for any up comer in small engine repair. Thanks for this video.

Your info and tuition has taken me from zero capability to a point where I rarely fail to fix a machine, just a hobby really but I have become a really popular person :) and its very satisfying for a retired engineer to still do a bit of ' fettling' .

I’ve watched a lot of chainsaw tuning videos, and this is by far the best. Most videos tackle the bogging issue from one possibility only like, “your chainsaw is bogging because your mixture screws need adjustment”. You cover all the possibilities and you do it quickly and concisely without wasting time. Basically as close to a perfect video as possible. Thanks so much for making it.

You've put a lot of work into this. I wish this information was so readily available fifty years ago. Your information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[JageeAgain]

A very complete video covering all of the possible errors. Thanks.

[outbackbluesdude]

I am surprised to learn of the complexity of a small carburetor on a garden tool. It's a world inside a world and your videos are the most informative of all I have seen yet.

[kylejay]

Unbelievable content, I hope this is archived for eternity.

[denniswhite]

The most information I have gathered to date from any class or video on the function of the mysterious little parts inside the carburetor of a chain saw. Well done!

[johnbuehler]

Best explanation of basic, small engine function I've ever seen! Thanks.

[Indeewoods]

One of your best videos yet! I don’t know how I missed this one but I’m just seeing it now.

[sixmagpies]

Brilliant tuition! Really appreciate the rapid pace, synced diagrams and complete lack of stupid asides in the commentary. 
Bravo.
Subbed and passed on.

[stefanmeyers]

You are extremely thorough, with great illustrations and a wonderful way of explaining things. Much more thorough than our tech teacher back in the 1970's. Thank you.

[dcvariousvids]

That was by far the best carb-chainsaw related explanation and in-depth video I’ve come across. Thank you. I’ll be passing this one onto a friend, who’s MS391 starts ok but just won’t keep running. No matter the fuel or how much he adjusts the jets.

[greglarrabee]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on a two cycle fuel system! Every well done with common problems found. Thank you for putting this together.

[josedejesus]

Excellent instructional video! I have never seen one like this before! You explained it to detail and easy to understand! Kudos to you!
