Stihl MS-250 & "Bang per Buck" saws

[Sprinter]

it's a brand new saw with month old gas in it, known for flooding and known for hard starting. Not really a powerhouse imo either. But since it's new, the oil problem should be covered under warranty. The bogging is most likely from the old fuel in it.

My gas is usually more than a month old. Pull the limiters, open the Low jet a bit (maybe 1/4 turn) & go from choke to high idle after 2 pulls (cold) and it should start fine.
Agreed, it's not a world beater but fine for most work.
