Yeah I did. When I bought the new easy start Stihl, I made a big big mistake. I bit on a sales pitch and now I'm paying the price.
When the starter rope is pulled, it's supposed to wind the spring strong enough to turn the engine over. One pull gets you a little burp. It's a convoluted process starting it. You have to have one hand on the trigger, pull the rope with the other, but the third hand to hold it down, I don't have. I've pulled that thing so many time trying to get it to fire, I've gotten dizzy headed. On a hot day it worse. Once it's running, I love it, but starting it has gotten to be to much of a problem.
All I saying here is, cutting the wood I have with is super, but getting it to the point of cutting that wood is just about enough to dislike the saw. So don't be sold on the easy start like I was. It just don't work. All I know to do at this point is the have it all removed. My 034 I know what to expect, this one, no way. Well I do now, but I don't like it.
