    Hey Brian, and welcome mate.

    Haven't seen a lot regarding chainsaws, but I reckon if you post the same enquiry over in 'Hand Tools - Powered' forum you might get a few responses.

    Where's Myrniong by the way?

    When you say "died" what do you mean, don'ts start, stopped suddenly or seized?

    Potentially embarrassing questions
    1) is the kill switch off
    2) does it have FRESH fuel

    Main questions
    1) Does it turn over?
    2) Does it have spark
    3) When you crank it a half a dozen times does the spark plug come out wet?

    Supplementary technical questions if the answer to 1) above is yes.
    1) What is the compression like
    2) Whats the crankcase vacuum like?

    I go past Myrniong a hell of a lot from memory - on the way to and from Melbourne from Ararat, lovely part of Victoria.

    Welcome mate.
