It probably could use a birthday tune up and seeing to by the Stihl doctor, as it gets used infrequently and took a bit to get going. I still managed to cut down two small trees and slice up some limbs from the larger trees yet to come down.
I didn't want to drop the larger trees due to proximity to the houses and my mains power connection

I still managed to cut down two small trees and slice up some limbs from the larger trees yet to come down. I have a couple of petrol-powered (in USA lingo = "gas" ) chainsaws that are like that (only more so, won't start at all now, I suspect the fuel has gelled in the carbie or lines somewhere). These days I don't need to do as much sawing, so my Ryobi 36V (USA = 40V) battery powered saw does everything I need (and starts first time every time and runs quietly) Quote from: TazzieRob on July 04, 2017, 06:00:43 AMI didn't want to drop the larger trees due to proximity to the houses and my mains power connectionThat sounds rather sensible, have you been wearing your adult pants or something ? There is hours of amusement (well, schadenfreude to be more accurate) watching some of the "idiots with chainsaws" and "chainsaw fails" and "tree cutting fails" videos on youtube.
Awarded.
Nice looking older Stihl you have there

Congrats on the badge. There is just something about gas powered tools. Love them!
