      If there's no spark at the plug of your Echo Chainsaw, it might be due to an incorrect spark gap. Adjust it to 0.6 to 0.7 mm. Alternatively, the spark plug might be covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, in which case you should clean or replace it. The spark plug itself could also be defective, requiring replacement.
