Years back I gave away a Mac 1000 because the sucker was hard to pull with two fingers and most of the time backfired jerking the T-handle through my fingers.
Two years ago, I bought a used Stihl 310 and have not used it much, if at all. It had a longer bar than my 16" Poulan which I use most of the time. But now the Stihl acts like the cylinder is full of stuff as the pull only gets one revolution. I can't seem to be able to pull hard or fast enough. I do not see any compression release.
Is there some instruction I am missing? I did get it started once recently by clamping the saw down on a heavy, knee high sawhorse and using two hands, the saw "let loose", spun and started. ??????
