Best Answer

If this is a gas operated chainsaw, try fishing out the fuel filter in the tank if this is a two stroke motor. Take some carburetor cleaner and spray the heck out of the filter to clean off the varnish that has probably clogged it up. The coating comes from the oil that is mixed with the gas. This usually takes care of most of the problems.
