Wow Jay, bad as it sounds I'm so glad to hear it wasn't worse. What a fantastic showing of community, all the neighbours/people helping out. I had noticed your absence of late and had wondered if something was up. I had a small electrical almost fire the first year I moved into my new place...

Ha! I'm disappointed it wasn't me. I'd have been honoured. :whine:

Shortcomings........ha now I know you're off your rocker. I'd give ya a kick in the ass for that.............while you were bent over starting your saw with your foot on the handle. :O :lol:

I'll just chalk that outbreak up to jealousy. :D

I would assume it could be drilled and tapped into an older one if you really wanted to. But I doubt it's a very common thing to do or have done.

I drop started my 880 no problemo weaklings. :P

I don't gamble, but I'll play these odds. I'm pretty confident in my seeing, hearing, and ability to determine my own personal safety. I wonder how many people have been killed while not jaywalking but in a crosswalk because they figured that made them 'safe' and so no need to determine it for...

Magnus I'm a saw user, not a saw fixer so I have no idea why you think what you do would apply to me? Potato, putatoe. Tomatoes, tumatoes. Capiche? Drop starting a saw is pretty much only an issue for people that think it is. For those that do it, it's a non-issue. I jaywalk too, by...

Potato tomato, or however the saying goes. I'll toss either! Just get that sucker cranked and get to cutting!

With a chain brake set it's pretty hard to 'lose control' drop starting. Honestly even without a brake set it's pretty hard to lose control. As evidenced to me with decades of using it. Drop starting is quite safe if like most things with sawwork/treework, it is done properly. As in, don't...

Makes no difference. Drop starting is the only way I've ever started a saw.

I can tell you right now on a hopped up saw like my TW046 with domed piston and shaved cylinder it's a nice option to have, not just for the starting mechanism. There's no way someone would pull start that or my EHP660 and say there was no difference with the decomp button not pressed.

I use them. Why not? They're there anyways and it just takes a fraction of a second to push it. Then you don't have to line up to the compression to avoid a possible jarring. I run(ran) mostly only hopped up saws too so that's part of the equation as well.
