Chainsaw Repair

372XT

From watching the ground man of a tree service, he pushed the compression release, Pulled the choke on, and started pulling . . .

It never hit a lick. (by then it was flooded)

So the supervisor got over there and pulled until he was worn out. They put the saw back in the bin on the truck.

The next day I was across the street, the supervisor started it (may have been a different saw?) right up, like on the third pull, and finished the job.

I don't own a XT but from reading, it seems your chances are better if you don't use the compression release.
