What to do if my Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but won't start?

If your Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but doesn't start, there are several potential causes:* A clogged fuel filter or fuel line, in which case you should clean or replace the fuel filter and clean the fuel line.* A fuel mixture that is too rich, so you should open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor.* An incorrect spark gap, a carbon-covered spark plug, or a fuel-fouled spark plug, so you should adjust the spark gap to 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in.) or clean/replace the spark plug.* Also make sure the ignition switch is turned on.
