Iwas using my chainsaw and it stopped abruptly so i checked the tank for petrol ,when I took the cap off the petrol seemed to be bubbling ,saw wont start since . Any ideas of even where to start with this problem
you've SEIZED ENGINE. the heat boiled the fuel. your saw is KAPUT

this can happen when the petrol gets heated by the engine and ' boils' . shouldn't happen on modern kit .
does the saw still have compression ? -with the saw switched off , try picking it up by the stater cord - if the cord comes out ,and the saw stays on the floor , it's bad news .
otherwise , buy it a new spark plug , and clean out the gap between engine casing and fuel tank .good luck .
