The only times I have had any trouble starting one were after ethanol bases gas destroyed the tank to carburetor line or if any water was in the gas. One tiny drop of water can plug the orifice in the carb.

The manual says you can use E10 but I use non ethanol in everything except the daily drivers. I did however leave gas in the saw over the winter. I dumped it out and mixed up fresh before I tried to start it. No start. I'll add some seafoam and see if that clears it up.

I have a Huskvarna blower that always starts right up. Maybe I should have bought one of their saws.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
