  Seth DeleonAug 14, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Spear & Jackson chainsaw might not be starting. It could be due to incorrect starting procedures, so double-check the user manual. Other potential causes include a fouled spark plug (clean, gap, or replace it), a plugged fuel filter (replace it), or the chain brake being engaged (put the chain brake in the off position). If it starts but will not run, it might be due to an incorrectly adjusted carburetor; in that case, have it adjusted by an Authorized Service Center.

If this is the case, have the carburetor adjusted by an Authorized Service Center.
