i've had my share of 10-10's, 700's, 850's etc. with bad pumps. i'm a guy that has no problem drop starting an 088 without the decomp, but when one of those 10 series had any type of oil in them they just wouldn't budge

of course, it was always when you never expected it so you'd just grab on that pull handle to give her a twist only to find out in a spit second how painful it can be when that cord don't want to come out. can't tell you how many times i've either broken the cord, handle or pulled that handle out of my hand over extending a couple few fingers in the process. damn near make me want to cry like a baby. and them fingers are frikin sore for the rest of the day and week.
good thing today most saws have extrenal pumps and can't really ingest chain oil. i don't think the starters would be up for the abuse.
