[QUOTE="McCullochKid, post: 7558867, member: 173134"] This must be it. I just went out and tried the thumb trick, and on the very first pull I had some fuel on my thumb. The next pull started the saw just fine on its fast idle. Currently letting it cool back down before I try experimenting some more, but now I'm wondering where to go from here. It already has an original Stihl air filter on it, so that can probably be ruled out. The type of choke on this 011 is a switch that you slide forward, which pushes down a little piece of plastic on top of the air filter/carb. It's obviously not sealing it properly, but why? Think I could attach a thin piece of gasket or other squishy material to the plastic part to help it seal better? [/QUOTE]
