Chainsaw Repair

I wrote this before Al replied in the previous post . . .

The situation discussed by cut4fun, as he observed me, was that the fellow that has never seen a Easy Start before will essentially pick it up and jerk the starter cord all the way out . . . and . . . and . . . nothing happens . . . Then the engine goes through a compression stroke.

Though I did not try it due to time limitations, it was discussed, that possibly, the starter handle could either be pulled out slowly or in several short strokes and the engine then turns over?

We certainly decided that it was not necessary to jerk the starter handle with a deliberate, long hard jerk as we are accustomed to with a non Easy Start chainsaw.
