Sooner or later I have problems starting a 2 cycle engine. Yes fresh fuel,
right oil/fuel mixture, etc. I'm ordering a carburetor rebuild kit for the
chain saw and hope that solve the problem. Funny thing I have over half
dozen of 2 cycle engines from cheap units to top of the line, from small to
a 80cc engines and the only one that I never had problems starting or
running is the Echo, even with old fuel that the other 2 cycles couldn't run
on.

Anyway, I'm looking for a good electric chain saw. Milwaukee, Makita or the
Poulan Pro.

I didn't have much luck with the Poulan Pro gas saw but the electric model
is with good reviews and at less than half the price is tempting. All my
trees now are within 100' for the electric cord so distance is not a
problem. Has anyone used any of those saws above and care to comment.



Huh?
My old Poulan Pro after more than a year sitting in a tool shed started
with less than 5 pulls. I had to cut some trees down at my cabin.
In my book all electric ones are frustration builder unless you want to
use it only to prune little branches off trees.
