If you put diesel in a 2 stroke chainsaw will the engine run after removing from and correct fuel in?

No, putting diesel fuel in a two-stroke chainsaw will likely cause significant damage, and simply removing the diesel and refilling with the correct two-stroke fuel mixture won't necessarily fix it. Diesel fuel is much thicker and has different lubricating properties than the gasoline-oil mixture a two-stroke engine requires.

Here's why:

* Lubrication: Two-stroke engines rely on the fuel mixture for lubrication. Diesel fuel doesn't contain the same lubricating properties as the two-stroke oil. Running the engine on diesel will cause significant wear and tear on internal components, potentially scoring the cylinder walls and damaging the piston.

* Different Combustion Properties: Diesel fuel ignites differently than gasoline. The carburetor and ignition system in a two-stroke chainsaw are designed for gasoline's combustion characteristics. Diesel's different combustion properties can lead to incomplete burning, fouling of the spark plug, and potential damage to the engine.

* Thickness: Diesel's thicker viscosity can clog fuel lines and the carburetor. Even after flushing, residual diesel can remain and affect the engine's performance.

In short, while you might be able to get the chainsaw running again after flushing with the correct fuel, the internal damage might already be done and may lead to premature engine failure. It's best to consider the engine potentially damaged and have a mechanic inspect it before using it.
