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've owned several electrics throught the years and quite honestly,
they're all junk. The hassle of dragging a cord around is a pain and
the electric motors almost always jam on wet wood.

I use my electric very rarely, maybe once a year.
It's a 30 year old Craftsman and is still going strong.

For *really* occasional use, an electric can't be beat.
