VISUALLY EXPLAINED
A chainsaw may not start due to various reasons, and troubleshooting the issue involves checking different components and factors. Here are some common reasons why a chainsaw won't start:
Fuel Issues:
Empty Fuel Tank: Ensure there is enough fuel in the tank.
Old or Stale Fuel: Gasoline can go bad over time, causing starting problems. Use fresh fuel.
Incorrect Fuel Mix: Chainsaws with 2-stroke engines require a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. Ensure the mix is correct.
Spark Problems:
Faulty Spark Plug: A worn-out or fouled spark plug can prevent ignition. Replace it if necessary.
Ignition System Issues: Check for damaged wires or a faulty ignition coil.
Air Supply:
Clogged Air Filter: A dirty air filter restricts airflow, affecting combustion. Clean or replace the air filter.
Blocked Exhaust: Ensure the exhaust isn't clogged, which can lead to starting problems.
Carburetor Problems:
Clogged Carburetor: Dirt or debris in the carburetor can disrupt the fuel-air mixture. Clean or rebuild the carburetor if needed.
Compression Issues:
Low Compression: A worn piston or cylinder can result in low compression. A compression test can help diagnose this issue.
Choke and Throttle Settings:
Ensure the choke and throttle settings are correct for starting the chainsaw. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Safety Features:
Check that all safety features, including the chain brake and safety interlock switches, are functioning correctly.
Flooded Engine:
If you've attempted multiple starts without success, the engine may be flooded with fuel. Let it sit for a while to allow excess fuel to evaporate before trying again.
Hydraulic Lock:
If the engine has been overfilled with oil, it can lead to a hydraulic lock. Check the oil level and drain excess oil if necessary.
Worn or Damaged Parts:

I have included a link here that a good premium two stroke oil on Amazon. I am not the seller and I do not know the seller, but I know that this type of oil is very good and will help keep your chainsaw in tip top condition for many years:

This principle works for most types of Chainsaw saws, and the following also helps with Chainsaw maintenance. So, whether you are using a Stihl Chainsaw, Husquvarna Chainsaw, basically, all types of Petrol Chainsaw are valid for this principle, as well as many types of or a 2 Stroke Engine. The Electric Chainsaw, of course, escapes this whole principle!
I want to thank you and I hope the information here helped.
