When was the last time you cleaned the air filter! If the filter is blocked it won't run

yes has compression, yes is 2stroke! as far as im aware of. airfilter is clean. yeah i was thinking that. have another bike the same and used the plug out of it and still didnt go! so guessing it a fuel problem nut getting fuel from cvarb to piston! maybe!

Go over all the basics,petrol,spark,compressio- n,unsrew phillips under carby, see petrol flow-retighten(if no flow tap bowl housing lightly with hammer ,clean all of plug with toothbrush,an tri starting with no air filter,refit filter before riding.Stand bike on back wheel to let built up oil drain out of exhaust(best done wen motor is hot an fuel tank has run out) dribble 10 mls of petrol down plug hole to help start it.

I dont believe that 'myth'. I got my chainsaw out of the shed after it sat there for over a year with fuel in, gave it a bit of a shake, and it started 2nd pull and ran fine, just like always.

my saw wont start after 2 months fresh gas and it starts. if your saw is a husky or sthil it will proberley start fine on stale gas

Poor quality fuel we get dished up, fouled spark plug. I would bet tomorrows bowl of Kornies on it!

Same here with my old 82 honda 500. Sits outside under a tarp since xmas 08 and starts on the 6th kick with the same petrol it's had in since then and I started my old 350 chev after 18 months with the same old fuel.
