Battery powered chainsaw

Well, there's this:

A look at California’s ban on gas-powered equipment | Landscape Management

Many OEM manufacturers of battery-powered equipment say they see the adversity in California as an opportunity for the green industry nationwide.

And which came first the chicken or the egg?

In this case the battery tools were there before a government decided to make them mandatory.

Good point, at least your second sentence.

The first one is easy though... the egg. I'm not sure what the hell kind of pre-historic chicken ancestor laid it, but the first chicken came out of an egg.

I took this picture as a joke but that’s how some people expect us to work.

Is this possible?

I don't think so. I just ran out to the shed and grabbed my very well-tuned Stihl 036 Pro off the shelf. This is a saw that usually starts on second pull from dead cold, and first pull thereafter. Here's what I did:

1. Set multifunction lever to full choke, pressed decomp valve, drew cord out and released. Nothing.
2. Repeated second time. Nothing.
3. Gave the pull cord the usual yank, fired right up.
4. Warmed up the saw a few seconds, shut it off. Set multifunction lever to warm start position, yanked the cord, started right back up. Repeated two more times, to verify consistent one-pull starts.
5. Repeated trick in video three more times, with multifunction lever set to warm start position, nothing. No start.
6. Gave the cord a quick yank, fired right up, as it should.

Saw is good, video is a hoax, or maybe only applicable to very specific models.

I do my own research on YouTub. Its aways right.

Best post of the thread...

Speaking of starting saws and decomp valves, I always get a kick of watching people try to start my 064 AV. It's 85cc at 110 psi, and will yank your shoulder half out of its socket, if you don't fully-commit to the cord pull. Most people try it once, and hand it right back.

I have a husky 2100 that needs a full wrap around pull cord to start.

Yeah, that's a real saw. Keeps the faint of heart from having a go at it.

"You can't start it? Then you can't run it!"

I ran an 084 for a short time, before trading it in on the 064, something like 135 cc. Like putting a bar and chain on a motorcycle engine.
