I will admit to being amazed at how much trouble some folks have
starting chain saws. The saw that I purchased doesn't have a
compression release, and it's almost easier to start than my car. I
really don't understand where the problem is for folks, particularly
with a new saw.

It's really quite simple. You've got that old fuel mix from last year
(or was it the year before?) so why mix up new stuff? Changing spark
plugs isn't really necessary. Don't bother with the air filter either.
Choke? And remember, never ever RTFM.
