Thank you for this!!! Saved my life. So frustrated just bought a new chainsaw and I couldn't get it started. This worked like a charm. I did have to pull probably 20 times when in the warm start position. I am sure I flooded it initially, had no idea I was doing that. Thanks very much!

And this is how i start all my stihl equipment

Can't go wrong using this method!

Thank you. I learned moderate- and cold-weather starting from my local Stihl dealership. In 100ᐤ summer weather, full choke only floods my saw. My MS291 is starting fine now in the heat when I use half choke.

Cheers, thank you for sharing!

How do you do this on the 172, since its switch is spring-loaded and doesn't lock in the off position?

Is stihl chainsaw need cold start every day or not

[@NJSInstructional]

Most likely, yes.
