Why my Ikra Chainsaw will not start?
- TTroy McgrathAug 11, 2025
If your Ikra Chainsaw won't start, there could be several reasons. First, check if there's fuel in the tank and fill it if needed. Ensure the Stop/Start switch is set to Start. If the air lever wasn't switched off after the initial start, turn it off and try again; if the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug, dry it, pull the starter cord a few times, then reinstall the spark plug. Also, inspect the spark plug for dirt or moisture, cleaning or replacing it as necessary. Check the electrode spacing (0.5 mm) and correct if incorrect. Finally, water or condensate in the tank may be the issue; clean the tank with petrol and refill with fresh, clean fuel.
