I too am reincarnating one of these jewels. A 1986 with just under 40,000 miles. Did not start very well and puked, backfired and ran generally crappy. Put in a new battery to cure the starting issue and now it runs fantastic! Now to fix the rear brake and new tires......

I gave up on everything else. Stihl: Set choke, pull until first time it hits, turn to half choke and pull until it runs then squeeze trigger. Easy to flood if proper sequence is not followed. Mine start every time regardless of temps. I admit, I only buy the professional versions. Yes, if you cut a lot of wood, they ARE worth the money.
