Please help. I have an older CS800P and an older CS4600. I love both saws, WHEN I CAN GET THEM STARTED. They both have strong compression, so sometimes I literally cannot even pull the cord. This is especially true of the CS800P, which is an 83 CC beast. Some days I get lucky and I can get a good pull, but I almost always feel like I just hit the gym just trying to start my damn chainsaws. Last night I saw in another thread on this board that certain older Echo chainsaws simply do not have decompression valves. Well damn that explains it. Please tell me some ways to get around this problem, I'm not rich, and don't want to just ditch the saws or unload them on someone else so they can have the same problem. Thanks
