  If your Makita Chainsaw engine isn't starting easily, it could be due to a malfunction in the fuel supply, compression system, or a mechanical issue. Inspect and repair the ignition system, fuel supply, compression system, and mechanical components. Other potential causes include a faulty STOP switch, wiring issues, a defective spark plug or cap, incorrect choke position, a bad carburetor, a dirty suction head, a bent or interrupted fuel line, or defective cylinder base packing ring, radial shaft packings, cylinder or piston rings. Also, check if the spark plug seals properly, the starter spring is broken, or if there are broken parts inside the engine. Investigate all these potential issues and replace or repair parts as needed.

  If your Makita Chainsaw starts but immediately dies, it could be due to an incorrect idling adjustment, or a dirty suction head or carburetor. Clean the suction head and carburetor, and adjust the idling. Alternatively, the tank venting may be defective, the fuel line interrupted, a cable defective, the combination switch defective or the decompression valve dirty. Check the tank venting, inspect fuel lines, cables, and the combination switch, and clean the decompression valve.
