That is good advice, but did he tell you how to avoid flooding the saw in the first place?
No and to tell you the truth I don't even know how I did it in order to avoid it in the future

:agree2: It is said that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure...
I flood mine from time to time by fliping it to choke instead of off((backwards from stihl), when this happens if i don't put it in the fast idle position and pull till it starts its all most impossible to start after waiting a while.No and to tell you the truth I don't even know how I did it in order to avoid it in the future
Always run at full throttle, but avoid too much of it out of wood (just for carb tuning). Also avoid prolonged cuts. :msp_wink:

Pad, on my 5100 I have learned the trick to easy starting. Do not leave the choke on for more than three pulls or it's flooded. Take the choke off after 2-3 pulls even if it hasn't popped or you will flood it.
Mine has 210 lbs compression with no release and it pulls hard.
I figured out the very same thing, also two pulls on choke, then fast idle and it will usually start and run where 3 pulls on choke or untill it pops will require two pulls off. In other words, it only takes 3 pulls to have it cutting where it did take 5.Pad, on my 5100 I have learned the trick to easy starting.

I bet that cancer curing 361 floods pretty easy too...My general limit is 3-4 pulls, and the 5100 is known to easily flood....

How about the gas ? The service guy said that I should use 95 octane because higher would be too "dry", any thoughts about this? From what I know so far the higher octane the better, so why would he say that?

try to find ethanol free. don't buy from brokered gas stations, self suppliers tend to have the "cleanest" fuel.
