Common problems

Chainsaw problems we fix

  • Hard to start

    Old mixed fuel, a fouled spark plug, a dirty air filter or a gummed-up carburetor.

  • Bogs down under load

    A clogged air or fuel filter, or a carburetor that needs cleaning and tuning.

  • Chain not oiling

    A blocked oiler, clogged bar oil passage or worn oil pump.

  • Dull or smoking chain

    A dull chain makes dust instead of chips. We sharpen or replace chains and dress the bar.

  • Chain will not stop

    An idle set too high or a worn clutch. We adjust and repair it so the chain stops at idle.

  • Broken pull cord

    Recoil starter repairs and new starter rope.

FAQ

Chainsaw repair questions

Still not sure? Call us at (647) 879-1756 and we will tell you what your machine needs.

Why is my chainsaw so hard to start?

The most common reason is old fuel. Two-stroke mix goes stale and gums up the carburetor. A carburetor clean, fresh mix and a new spark plug usually fix it.

How do I know my chain needs sharpening?

If the saw makes fine dust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or you have to push it through the wood, the chain is dull.

Do you repair STIHL chainsaws?

Yes. We service STIHL and other major chainsaw brands.
