If your Stihl Saw engine doesn't start, it could be due to several reasons. Make sure there's enough fuel in the tank by mixing fuel and refueling. If the engine is flooded, clear the combustion chamber. Also, the carburetor might be too hot, so allow the chainsaw to cool down. In cold conditions, the carburetor might be iced up, so allow the saw to warm up to +10°C.

If the saw chain on your Stihl Saw doesn't rotate when you open the throttle, there are several possible reasons. First, check if the chain brake is engaged and disengage it. Also, the chain might be over-tensioned, so adjust the tension properly. A blocked bar nose sprocket can also cause this, so clean it with STIHL resin solvent. Ensure the chain is properly sharpened and that there's sufficient chain oil in the tank.
