      Larry GarrettJul 29, 2025
      If there's no spark at the plug in your Shindaiwa Chainsaw, it could be due to several reasons. The spark gap might be incorrect and needs adjustment to 0.6 to 0.7 mm. The spark plug might be covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, requiring cleaning or replacement. Also, the spark plug itself could be defective and need replacement.

      If your Shindaiwa Chainsaw engine cranks but there's no fuel at the carburetor, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter, which needs cleaning or replacement. Alternatively, the fuel line might be clogged and require cleaning. For issues related to the carburetor, it is recommended to consult your Shindaiwa dealer.

      If the silencer of your Shindaiwa Chainsaw is wet with fuel, it indicates that the fuel mixture is too rich. Try opening the choke. You may also need to clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. For further assistance, consult your Shindaiwa dealer.
