Dear Nancy,
Great last name! You make a body proud.
As to the saw, well, a whole bunch of reasons why it won't start. Old
gas, and dirty air filter are two big ones. Black spark plug is another.
If you got the cords to get to the trees, electric saw is a great idea.
My Dad has one, and he really loves it. While running, remember to push the
chain oiler every five to ten seconds (or whatever the book says).

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.
