Why is my Makita EA3500S Chainsaw engine not starting?
- KKeith BurtonAug 25, 2025
There could be several reasons why your Makita Chainsaw engine isn't starting. It could be due to a malfunction in the fuel supply or compression system, or a mechanical issue. Check the ignition spark and ensure the fuel tank is full. Also, inspect the STOP switch and wiring for any faults. Other potential causes include a defective carburetor, a dirty suction head, a bent or interrupted fuel line, defective cylinder base packing ring or piston rings, or broken parts in the starter or engine. Examine the cylinder base packing and piston rings. Inspect the starter spring and the engine for broken parts.
