Does it have gas in it? I think you should put some gas in it. Check the belt too.

He’ll trade it for 50 cords of split seasoned Oak...you stack it.

Really? Is this post a joke? How did you find this site? Excuse my lack of patience for idiocy, but you really have to come on here asking if there are any repair shops in your area. How the hell would anyone here know? Why don't you try and Google Stihl dealerships in your area.

Now Timbo were all your first questions that sharp?

 

[dmb2613]

you bought a non running saw
you should have bought a running saw

 

[KenJax Tree]

You just gotta know who you’re dealing with here. Just another classic Gunny thread. Usually its wanting something for free...firewood, ammo, etc

I was just given a stihl 064 and I am having the same trouble, I pull and pull on the starter cord, and not even a pop. I checked the belt, pulled the muffler off and put in a new spark plug. A Bosch BTW. And still nothing....

I need this saw because I am going to tackle my first 48 inch oak on the weekend. The tree needs to come down as it is infested with ants and limbs are starting to fall off.

They were much sharper! There is a big difference between being a noob to saws, and being a complete bafoon.
