Breacher, This may or may not work for you. I only buy Stihl professional grade saws, blowers and trimmers. I have noticed on the smaller saws like the 200T which I used aloft. Becomes finicky to start if I have a couple of weeks between its usage. And yes folks, there is a difference between homeowner saws, blowers and trimmers and professional grade. Your homeowner saw will have a # like 029 they are always a odd number. The ones even you homeowners want are always even numbers like 460 or 026. They will last longer and you will get what you pay for. There also worth the expense of repair unlike the homeowner ones. You just throw those away.

I do try to use the marine formula ethanol treatment and am undecided in its effectiveness. I have used echo back in my younger days and thought it was quality enough, but nothing beats a Stihl. Huskies are OK to, but slower to start and heavy. Good low end power.
