    I don’t pull
    That is pretty slick starting. Can’t say I’ve ever pulled it quite that easy but I also don’t pull it like a normal pull start.

    I’ve also had to learn more than a few lessons like that.

    Can’t seem to make my phone work properly tonight. I try to post something or reply to a post but it doesn’t seem to like it and it deletes my post then it adds it back in. I’m just about as bad with electronics as I am with easy starts apparently.

    The lesson we learned is, DON'T buy an easy start cuz we're just gonna pick it up after running a big saw and break it... But we do need a smaller saw for certain tasks. There have been many things in my life where "I learned my lesson", only to forget it 2 years later and do the very thing I swore would never happen again, ever... Just ask my wife, she'll fill you in on my oopies...

    I get used to doing things one way and it's very hard to remember that this one works differently. It will be different in a few years when I have to stop using the bigger saws cuz I can't start them from shoulder issues. But for now...

    Took a little bit but remembered today in the rain. Didn't occur to me that there was an ID tag on the side so no closeup. The racket these make is splendid.

    Yer uh, missin' some stuff on the end of that exaust pipe. :thumbs:

    Fan-cooled, thermosiphon cooling system, gas-fed ?carburetor? (is that a throttle valve/linkage I see? Looks a little more advanced than just a fuel mixer.), spark plug and an enclosed crankcase to boot. High-tech unit you have there! Does it fire every cycle or is a still a true hit and miss?

    LOL! I'd need to ask the pumper some of these questions. Far as I know it's hit miss. I usually only hear it from a distance. The good sounds are on the primer rod pulls. 4 - 5 brap brap brap brap brap then I can't really hear it again until it starts to pull the rod on next cycle. It gets ran on Monday mornings so I'm usually always at work. I will get some more detailed pics sometime.
