What to do if the spark plug is dry on my Hitachi CS 51EAP Chainsaw?
- M
  Michael CunninghamAug 1, 2025
  If the spark plug in your Hitachi Chainsaw remains dry after repeated starting attempts, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure there's fuel in the tank and that it is properly mixed (25:1 to 50:1). Other potential causes include a clogged fuel filter (clean or replace it), a faulty fuel pipe (adjust, replace, or connect it properly), a faulty vent hole on the fuel tank inner cap (replace the cap), or a faulty carburetor (adjust, clean, or replace it).

  Jennifer GordonAug 6, 2025
  If your Hitachi Chainsaw won't start, there could be several reasons. A faulty piston ring might be the cause, requiring parts replacement. Other potential issues include a worn piston or cylinder, an expired oil seal, defective packing, or a faulty decompression valve (clean or replace it). Also, check for foreign matter causing a short circuit between the spark plug electrodes; remove any debris, and if it happens often, disassemble and clean the engine.
