Chainsaw problems need advice
I have 2 chainsaws. the first is a very old sthil there is plenty of fuel in it but it is only running half way up the fuel line. I have cleaned the carb and fuel lines and all seem to be ok.
Im not sure of the make of the second. It is very hard to pull the starter rope. I removed the sparkplug and it turned over fine. I have not changed the spark plug and im sure its the correct size. I have also remover the exaust but it still will not pull unless I remove the spark plug.
Any help would be welcome Thanks.

If it feels exactly the same with the brake on or off, then I would suspect the brake is staying on.
Have you tried to prime the engine with a little gas on the other one to see if it will start?
