I have 2 saws ( I know i'm underprivileged ) But it's all I need for my 5 Acres. One is an Echo 3450 the other is a Stihl 025. The 025 cuts twice is strong as the 3450 but about 20% of the time the 025 won't start. The little echo always starts. When the stihl runs its great but i always wonder why it fails. I set the lever to choke and pull the cord but never get the pop that tells me to move the lever up. I've tried leaving it in choke and tried moving one notch up and it still won't start & I use the echo. The next day it may start right up. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks, Ray
OK I got desperate and found and read the instructions. I was evidently flooding it even though it never popped in choke. I removed plug cleaned and dried it reinstalled plug and pulled it about 10 times in warmstart mode ( I guess thats half choke) It sputtered then ran like new. started it in garage to avoid bothering the neighbor ( did ya ll now two cycle smoke will set off a smoke detector) Glad I got it started I am going to La. next weekend to cut downed trees with our church group I'd sure would have hated to do it with the 3450.
Thanks again, Ray
