Do you think it makes them easier to start?
My Stihls are getting to where ya have to pull em 35 times to fire em up.
Thinking about switching to a brand with a primer bulb. I need input if this makes a difference
I’ll hang up and listen
are your rings toast?
try pulling the plug swabbing a little oil around the cylinder wall just above the piston.
if it starts easier your rings are probably worn.
extra fuel won't help low compression...
Old man is onto something.
The quick and dirty compression test is to grab the pull start handle,
And try to pick the saw up.
If you can lift the saw, good compression.
If it lifts and the string comes out too. Stihl good.
If the string comes out without lifting the saw at all, not good.
To posts, now on topic.
Weed eater has one, really don't think it helps a lot. Still has a choke,
still need it.
As to saws?
I've on my seen them on toy saws.
Never a Pro-saw.....
Echo makes nice homeowner saws.
Easy starting is one of their best known attributes.
