Yeap the only gripe against the tanaka is that it busts my knuckles now and then.has for over 7 years straight.The Japanese just plain know how to do it right don't they!
why is that? I got 3 of them , well 2 1/2 anyway. 025 starts great, 2 ms250's that start just.......OK @ 4-5 pulls or soI can tell you which one is NOT the best starting. Stihl MS-250
Mine floods really easy, especially when hot. The dealer tells me I don't know how to start a stihl product. in other words he don't know whats wrong with it. I also have seven other stihl products I never have trouble starting. You literally have to take the plug out and shake the gas out of the cylinder. It's been like that since new. Took it back to dealer twice, same results, it's my fault.why is that? I got 3 of them , well 2 1/2 anyway. 025 starts great, 2 ms250's that start just.......OK @ 4-5 pulls or so
Oh come on
I think you need a new dealer. Or learn to work on them yourself.Mine floods really easy, especially when hot.

it has a 12v starter/generator under the flywheel. The starter switch/decompression/rectifier are all actuated by the red button on the handle. The 12v battery is in the case under the handle. It is comprised of 10 sub-c nicd cells. Pulling the rope out reduces wear on the rope when the engine kicks back from compression. It weighs about 16 pounds as you see it there. Not bad for 54cc!That is an incredible intriguing device, care to explain to my young self how it works? Appears that it stores energy somehow when you pull the cord and kill it. Really neat old saw. Can't imagine it isn't pretty heavy though. Has a very cool sound as well!!
