    Why won't my ICS 680ES Chainsaw start?
    • D
      Denise PhillipsAug 19, 2025
      If your ICS Chainsaw won't start, several factors could be at play. First, the fuel might be old or of poor quality; in this case, replace it with fresh fuel. Another potential reason is a corroded or eroded spark plug, which should be replaced. Lastly, ensure that the multi-function lever is in the "RUN" position, not the "STOP" position.

    What to do if my ICS Chainsaw is difficult to start?
    • H
      Holly BaileyAug 22, 2025
      There are a couple of reasons why your ICS Chainsaw might be hard to start. One common cause is a flooded engine. To resolve this, put the Multi-function lever in the middle position, hold the throttle on full with your foot, and pull the starter cord with hard, short, fast pulls until the engine starts. Another reason could be a fouled spark plug. If this is the case, remove the spark plug, clean it, and re-gap it to 0.5 mm (0.020 in).

    Why is the chain speed slow on my ICS 680ES?
    • A
      Aaron GreenSep 1, 2025
      If your ICS Chainsaw chain speed is slow, it could be due to chain tension that is too tight. The chain should always be able to be pulled around the guidebar by hand.
