[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2840087, member: 2939"] I have the 391 and only a couple of years old. I don't do major cords of wood anymore. Mostly residential tree removal. Two things that I have found to help start a cold motor are using ethanol free gas with Lucas oil. I pull it a couple of times on full choke then bump it to 1/2 choke and it usually fires right up. I let it run for about 30 seconds before hitting the throttle which auto takes the choke off and it returns to idle. I have about 8 chains and sharpen them all before a days work. As soon as the chip size goes down I change to a new one. When I was younger I used a cig lighter dremel stone. Now I have a nice bench mounted with a hand brake chain clamp holder. Pay attention to the raker height. I kinda do a .020 feeler gauge. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/lucas-oil-products/lucas-semi-synthetic-2-cycle-oil-1-quart/luc0/10110[/URL] I just burned up a bunch of .223 HP in Wyoming PD hunting. :) [/QUOTE]
