NAH...push starting only works if you've welded your clutch
I have modded all my saws to start with a high speed cordless drill.I have a custom holster that the drill fits in with a pouch on it for an extra battery.I have started a saw before and dropped it.
I just keep them idling all the time
I never shut my saws off, I've only had to start them once. It's rather expensive to keep filling them but that way they're ready whenever you need them. Not to mention there's no cold starting required.
It's a good idea and I recommend it to all.
We had a guy that did that and it worked great. Until he had to change chains. We call him Paddle Hands now.
Cold with all my saws I go with it on the ground, foot in the handle, left hand on the handlebar, right hand pull. Hot with the big Husky, I'll put the handle under my right leg, hold the handle bar and give it a yank
push start -put the nose on the ground and run
