I have over a dozen chainsaws. Some sit for a year without use. I use the cheapest reg. gas with "up to 10%" alcohol. NEVER had a problem. I have some saws that always start easy - even after sitting for a year. I have some others that always start hard. In weak moment once - I listened to some of the silly stories about the evils of cheap gas and tried some high priced pure high-test gas. Made absolutely NO difference. Good starters still started fine. Poor starters still started poorly.

I also have half-a-dozen gas generators and same goes with them. Some are miserable to start and some near always start on the 2nd or 3rd pull. Again, type of gas used made zero difference. Oddly, my newer Asian generators tend to be the hardest to start. My old USA stuff with 8-10 HP flathead Briggs & Stratton engines always fire right up. I just pulled one out that had not been run in three years (gas was E10 also three years old). Fired right up.
