I never new anyone ever built an electric start chainsaw. It's only 34cc. If you can't pull that, how can you cut wood? Remington Mighty Mite Electric Start. Found it on Mike's site. This will be fun to demonstrate.

No, they have this on the -04, -05 models. It is a spring that is wierd up by the engin, and released when starting.scottr said:Mange , are you talking about the wind up starters like the 1960's B&S lawnmowers ? Scott
nelly said:We had a push lawn mower with a spring start. You would crank the handle for a while then push the black button. I was too small to use it and the only other thing that I can remember about it is that it was brown.

Ther are lawn mowers out there with a starting system that winds a spring as the engine comes to a stop (just like a ton of gas golf carts). The energy stored in the spring is used to start the engine without the operator pulling on the rope. The system can be "charged" by pulling the rope a few times, but pulling the rope in one brisk movement will NOT start the engine. The Stihl "easy to start" system is similar to the Echo system where 1 full pull of the rope winds and releases a second spring that actually turns the engine over, the operator only needs to pull the rope to the end of its travel as slowly or quickly as they care to. I THINK Mange is referring to a system that uses the engine to wind the spring for the next start, I could be wrong though.
