  If your Husqvarna chainsaw isn't sparking, it could be due to several reasons related to the spark plug. The spark plug might be contaminated or wet, so ensure it's dry and clean. An incorrect spark plug gap could also be the problem; clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap is correct, also make sure the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor and refer to technical data for correct electrode gap. Finally, a loose spark plug can cause this, so retighten it.
