    What to do if my Shindaiwa 591 has no spark at the plug?
    • A
      Angela SmithJul 27, 2025
      If there's no spark at the plug of your Shindaiwa Chainsaw, the spark gap might be incorrect and needs adjustment to 0.65 mm (0.026 in.). Alternatively, the spark plug could be covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, requiring cleaning or replacement. If the spark plug is defective, replace it.

    Why does my Shindaiwa 591 die or accelerate poorly?
    • A
      Amy GordonAug 6, 2025
      If your Shindaiwa Chainsaw dies or accelerates poorly, it could be due to several reasons. The air filter, fuel filter, or fuel vent might be dirty or blocked and require cleaning or replacement. The spark plug could need cleaning, adjustment, or replacement. The carburetor might need adjustment. Also, check if the cooling system or exhaust port/spark arrestor screen are blocked and clean them if necessary.

    Why is the muffler of my Shindaiwa 591 Chainsaw wet with fuel?

      Jessica WallsAug 16, 2025
      If the muffler of your Shindaiwa Chainsaw is wet with fuel, the fuel mixture might be too rich. Try opening the choke, cleaning or replacing the air filter, or adjusting the carburetor. If the problem persists, consult your Shindaiwa dealer.
