  If your Makita Chainsaw engine is not starting, begin by checking the ignition spark. Also inspect the wiring, and replace the spark plug or cap if defective. Ensure proper spark plug sealing. Adjust the combination switch and clean the carburetor if the combination switch is in Choke position, or if the carburetor is defective, or the suction head is dirty, or the fuel line is bent or interrupted. Finally, inspect the starter and engine parts, and replace defective components if the cylinder base packing ring or radial shaft packings are defective, or if the cylinder or piston rings are defective.

  If your Makita Saw starts but dies immediately, the issue might stem from an incorrect idling adjustment, a dirty suction head or carburetor, a defective tank venting system, an interrupted fuel line, a defective cable, or a defective combination switch.
