How to fix a PowerBase Chainsaw that won't start?
- J
  Jane WallaceAug 14, 2025
  If your PowerBase Chainsaw unit won’t start or starts but will not run, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you are following the correct starting procedures as outlined in the user guide or the starting procedure checklist on page 14. Other potential causes include a fouled spark plug (clean/gap or replace the plug), a blocked fuel filter (replace the fuel filter), or the chain brake being engaged (pull the chain brake to the disengaged position). If none of these resolve the issue, the carburettor mixture adjustment setting may be incorrect, and you should have it adjusted by an authorized service center.

  If your PowerBase Chainsaw starts, but the engine has low power, check the choke lever position and ensure it is in the RUN position. Also, a dirty air filter can cause this issue; remove, clean, and reinstall the filter. If these steps don't improve the power, the carburettor mixture adjustment setting may be incorrect, and you should have it adjusted by an authorized service center.
