I just got one and can't get it to start. I have followed the enclosed instructions to the letter but no luck.

On my saw I push the primer button five or six times ( you can hear the fuel and the sound changes when it reaches the carb). I then pull the choke leaver out all the way and with a very slight push down it locks and stays out---saw usually starts on the second pull...

like they say: ensure the chain brake is off, close to the handle. Ensure the engine cutoff is pulled all the way out. at least 6 prime pushes. choke all the way out, then 6 pulls. then choke halfway or all the way in, and one pull - boom it runs. I just started mine today after 3 years sitting unused. Put in fresh gas and it started right up, which impressed me a lot.

Be sure you're using good fresh 40:1 gas mix. If you aren't sure you can always buy some of the premixed stuff from the big box home improvement store. The other big thing is the choke on this is a bit tricky, make sure you pull it all the way out (the stop lever moves up into the running position when the choke is pulled all the way) then after a few pulls slowly press it back in to half choke, that is about 3/4 of the way back in. I start mine with the chain brake off, not sure if thats proper or not.

you need to call customer service about that question. I had a problem with starting it.We got it started but only when i spray caburetor cleaner into carburetor to stat it.Thats the only way to get it started.

I am having the same problem with mine, except mine has never worked. I got the E-2 error the first time I plugged it in. Have you figured out what the problem is?

No, we had the same problem. We exchanged it for a new one hoping it was just defective but the new one has not worked either.

I could not get mine to work and returned it. I would really like to have one though. If you get yours to work, let me know and I'll buy one from the same seller. THANKS.

They most likely sent you a faulty one. I received one that didn't turn on as well. I contacted the seller immediately and they sent me a working one.

I have one, but have not been able to get it to work. I have contacted the company and no response. Just make sure you vent it to the outside.

no I haven't, BUT my brand new one stopped working all together, dead as a door nail. Maybe somebody at EMJOI will see both our complains and give us new ones. They weren't exactly cheap right?

Mine started first try, and I have never had a problem starting it. Always starts first try following directions. You may have a bad one.

With mine to first start it, turn it to full choak, and to a lower speed and pull once. Keep on lower speed but switch to half choak and pull, and it should start. May need to repeat a couple times.

I wish I new more about them and could help u. Mine starts funny when I plug it in and then when I push the button twice it sets it to the setting I like. Maybe u got a bad one. Mine has worked well. Good luck
