Some of the older model Stihls won't start unless the throttle lock is engaged. My 090G is that way. You can pull the starter all day long and it wont burp. but engage the lock and it starts right up.
I think it was Dean at hotsaws(?), who mentioned drop starting his 090 with a four or five foot bar on it, as regular routine. Don't think that he meant in a tree, though.
