I'm not going to read the entire thread but a longer bar verses a short one keeps you from having to bend over so far. Increasingly hard to do as we age. I'm open to a 40V saw with a 18" bar for when I'm just cleaning things up and not making firewood.

My 15+ year old Husky 345 starts just fine w/o a primer bulb. I only use E0 gasoline in it.
