Getting it started.

 I have been a fan of Stihl for many years. And, I still am.

     BUT.... Shindaiwa has made me a believer. 3 years of heavy trimming, and removal. Two 757, one 488. One big bad boy Stihl MS880.  All of the Shidaiwas are running strong, compression checks are well above what I expected after three years. The dumbasses dropped a tree on the Stihl, and it still starts.

Ouch! Dropping a tree on a $1500 saw sure would make for a bad day!

 The bad part was the guy was "the boss". I managed to fabricate a handle out of 1" square tubing, and they were able to use it for a week before the new starter assembly arrived. Good saw, but ya better have rocks in your pocket when you fire it up!
