I have an old McCulloch Timber Bear 20" chainsaw. I have had it for 20+ years. It is big and clumsy but has always starte even after long periods of inactivity. Today I got it out of the shed, choked it and it started right up. I went back after several hours and tried to start it again. It wouldn't I pulled and dried out the plug and still no fire. I changed the plug to no avail. I used ether, I got a jumper wire and watched the plug fire. Not even a hiccough. I ended up getting out my Sawzall and finishing the job. In the past, the saw would start up reasonably easy after long periods of inactivity. If I ran it out of gas, it would always be difficult to restart.
There has to be a better saw. Any experience for users that use them intermittantly?
