Please define the above. I think I'm drop starting with the choke and/or throttle locked. Throw starting is an unlisted option above that I'm not going to do either. Edit- leg locking must mean starting it on the ground. I do that once in awhile on the 394.

Thank you Magus for the clear info. I tried it and my confusion is due to the fact high idle speed is barely above idle speed. They are virtually the same. High idle causes the chain to barely move around the bar whereas at idle speed, the chain won't move around the bar. Im used to a high...

Basically true here, as well. But if the saw is thoroughly warm and then sits for 10 minutes, choking it is not correct but starting it with no extra throttle needs several pulls because it wants to start but doesn't have enough juice. Starting a warm saw with more than 1 pull is unacceptable...

I've had good luck with chip saws, the 576s all had em. Anyway I will try your suggestions, I haven't had access to the saw since I posted this, gracias
