[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2840704, member: 116439"] Thanks. We are in 80-90 degree weather. There is a cover plate in the carb for winter and summer for air temp. I don't think that it has anything to do with gas. I use a 50/50 Av gas and no ethanol 100/89 to get about 94 octane. I think that it is mostly my lack of ability to pull hard enough and so many times. When starting the Stihl have to get that "Burp" and then change the choke setting. You really have to master the "Stihl Technique" in starting them. I am not skilled yet especially trying to start the MS 391 4.4 HP. I had two other people just pick up this new saw and they started it up in several pulls. I guess that my lack of strength and spinal cord injury limits me from being former Mr. Iron Man to Mr. Dudly. Was just looking for easier ways to start the 391. I learned some good info from everyone Wish they made them with an electric starter. 🤣 🤣:D Maybe it is a sign that I should not cut this big tree by myself 🤔 I still think that I am in my 50s and a young man. Thanks much!!!! Len [/QUOTE]
