Actually, its pretty simple...I've been around a lot of Stihls, and based on the owners saying how hard they can be to start...well, you get the picture (I hope)..no disrespect to the Stihl owners out there, but the real reason I bought that Echo way back then was the fact that in the Pacific northwest, the majority saws being used for lumbering out there were Jonsonreds, Dolmars, and Echos...I figured that was enough to sell me...
Stihl has a new easy start and it is easy. My dad (75) starts his with one or two easy pulls. But for Echo, nothing wrong at all with them. It is like Whiskey I buy and drink a sub $20 Whiskey and I'm happy with it... if I started drinking Woodford Reserve, which is good stuff, I wouldn't want to drink my cheap stuff... so I'll drink my cheap stuff and and you keep your Echo and enjoy it.
