Default Chainsaw question, file under clueless

This is the appeal of electric tools to people like me.

I have a gas chainsaw, only used a couple of times. I really don't have
much use for a chainsaw is what it boils down to.
So it sits in the garage for a couple/three years and now that
I need it, it won't start. As expected.
I'm thinking I'd like to take out some large shrubs this fall. Before I do
the unthinkable and purchase an electric chainsaw
which I think will just start when you plug it in, any suggestions
why the thing won't start?

Be nice. (laugh) I'll take down all suggestions and try them
before I give up on the gas chainsaw. Just planning ahead.

Bad gas. Once it sits for a while, it's useless. Drain all gas. Fill with
fresh gas. Pull the cord until your forearms look like Popeye.
