A saw has to be dependable. If you have tried all the logical things and it doesn't run, take it to someone who fixes them for a living. One thing I can't stand is to travel to a logging site, carry all my stuff into the woods and struggle to get a saw to run. It is a waste of time and money.
I gave up on my old Jonsereds and bought a new Husqvarna. The saw paid for itself in one day.
