Im still waiting for my £79 Parkside chainsaw to die but whilst Ive had
to do some repairs the engine has been ridiculously reliable. It very
nearly*always* starts first time. Ten pumps on the primer, full choke,
ignition off, three pulls on the starter, choke off, ignition on, one pull
on the starter and away it goes 99% of the time. It even started first
time*after I told someone that it would*!

Somehow seems all wrong for a two stroke engine.;-)

Just how long did it take you to work out that sequence?

As long as it took to read the instructions.

They're pretty standard I think, even my 4-stroke Ryobi is near enough
the same.

Similar on my Makita - although there is no primer on that. I normally
do Choke on, couple of pulls, choke off, throttle set to start position,
ignition on, and then it normally starts first or second attempt.
