Why does my car not start when the starter is on?
If the starter is turning the engine, the non-start is not because of the starter. I’d test first for a strong spark.

What to do if your chainsaw won’t start?
You may also have a problem in the ignition module or the coil in the module. Again, run the chainsaw until it quits and then squirt a little starter fluid into the open choke valve, underneath the air filter. If it starts up you likely have a fuel system problem, but if it doesn’t start, your ignition module or coil is likely almost finished.
