Hi -- Ev Cox from central Ohio with a Stihl MS180C chainsaw with Easy2Start. That feature involves an additional coil spring which gets wound up by the pull-cord and then supplies the power to start the engine. Great feature!!! as I am old with medical issues.
First 2+ years the saw performed exactly as advertised. With only my 'pinky' finger, I could slowly pull the start cord (without fighting the engine compression) about 18 inches and then the EasyStart spring would kick in and crank the engine.
Now it acts like the EasyStart feature is not there. The engine tries to crank as soon as the starter rope is pulled.
Hope someone can advise how to get the EasyStart working again. I really need it.
Thanks
