What was it out of curiosity? I guess Husqvarna has spoiled me (all professional stuff), as they all always start by third pull and never give me shit.

FS 55R I believe? Left it at the house when we moved.
Full choke pull pull pull pull. Half choke pull pull pull sputter pull pull pull. No choke pull pull sputter pull pull start and die start and die start and idle then stall. Start and idle half throttle might run. Knuckles are busted and your arm hurts, time to get to work.
It started fine hot. Cold starts were absolutely impossible. Neighbor owned the local Stihl saw shop, the dealer looked at it, I messed with it. It never changed, just how it was.
It’s silly how easy the battery stuff is, you’re outside working before you would have the tank filled on a 2 stroke. With the big EGO stuff you aren’t leaving any power behind and the weight is almost entirely dependent on the battery. 2.5ah it feels like a toy, 5.0ah it feels like an old Homelite I had 20 years ago.
The power is different, the line speed is so immediate. Combined with no noise and no vibration, it’s a totally different experience.
You don’t buy batteries, you buy more tools when they include a battery and second battery for free. Blower, trimmer and a saw, I’m 6 batteries in. I can string trim for hours on end.
