Why does my saw have spark, gas, and compression?
I have spark, and after repeated cranking the plug is moist with fuel, so I think I have spark, fuel, and compression, but it won’t even sputter, nothing at all. I thought about pulling the carb and doing a rebuild, since that’s fairly easy to do but I’m at a loss as to why this saw ran fine one day, then two weeks later wouldn’t even sputter.
What to do when your saw says it has spark?
You say you have spark, a fuel moist plug then you say you think you have spark. I’d suggest you try a known good spark plug set to the correct gap. Remove the muffler and look at the piston. I had the same thing happen to one of my saws. It felt like it had compression with the plug in it but it didn’t have enough.
Can you have compression, spark, fuel, and air but not go?
You can have good compression, ignition, and fuel and still not get a 2 cycle to pop off and run. If you have a major air leak into the crankcase, you will never get it to start and may never even get it to pop. Make sure there are no air leaks around anything that attaches to the crankcase and that the top and bottom seal are in place.
How to fix spark, gas, compression, ignition?
Then change it again, they are cheap! If you have fuel, compression and ignition…….at the right time……it has to run, it has no option! As Fish said check the flywheel key and the air gap between the coil and magnet if the above doesn’t solve the problem.

Why does my spark plug have low compression?
Low compression is usually a result of some sort of mechanical issue. Maybe it’s something as simple as a stuck valve, a valve that doesn’t seat properly, or a timing chain that skipped a tooth. Heck, maybe your spark plug wasn’t in all the way.
How do you check for Spark on internal combustion engine?
