Wife got me a redmax 5300 saw as a gift. It was in a silent auction for 275 brand new.
She got good deal so I went along with it

Ran one tank thru it and now it won't start
I only use the mixed fuel that u buy pre mixed

What the hell did I do?

Was it tuned before you ran it? They are usually tuned lean right out of the box.

A new sparkplug would be a fairly cheap test to try. Do you have a Husky dealer close by. They should be able to check your saw.

Spark plug sales and market profitability are totally related to the long time myth that anything with an engine that has a running issue definately needs a new sparkplug pronto!lol +1 on flooded, do you know the correct starting proceedure, like when to switch it from choke to fast idle? Remove spark plug and see if its wet, turn upside down a pull starter cord, dry plug and reinstall. Then go through correct starting proceedure....put choke on, pull till it pops, switch to fast idle and pull till starts, hit throttle trigger. Or something like that.2T Oil needs to be mixed with fuel, not put in bar oil tank!

Got home and tried starting

Started first pull

Yes I know how to start saw with chok and pull to fast idle.
Not complete idiot when comes to operation but when comes to troubleshooting or fixing that not strong suit

Any one have a good video or tutorial on tuning saws

Look up Madsen's saw shop. I believe they have saw tuning video.
