How can you fix a flooded saw at the scene?

To fix a flooded saw at the scene, turning off the choke and holding down full throttle is the most effective method. When a saw is flooded, it means there is too much fuel in the engine and not enough air to ignite it. By turning off the choke, you're allowing the engine to draw in more air, which helps to balance the fuel-air mixture. Holding down full throttle opens the throttle fully, which allows even more air to enter the engine. This combination creates the right conditions for the excess fuel to be expelled and for the engine to start successfully.

Other options may not provide the same immediate effectiveness. Replacing the fuel might be unnecessary if the issue is simply flooding rather than fuel quality. Consulting the manual could provide general guidance but does not directly address the immediate action needed to start the saw in a flooded condition. Waiting for it to cool down could also be ineffective, as the problem largely relates to fuel-air mixture rather than engine temperature.
