Default one more thing. . . was Trouble starting new Husqvarna 350 chainsaw


combination I can think of. The fuel is new 87 octane mixed with 2
cycle oil in the appropriate amount.

BTW, these small motors need premium gas to run properly over time, or
so I've been told by saw mechanics. It shouldn't affect the initial
startup, but over time the engine will wear out faster if you use
lower octane fuel. On the same note, you should be using a name-brand
(husky, stihl, echo) premium 2-cycle oil, not something you picked up
at the hardware store. Note the "premium"; most companies offer two
grades of oil, for whatever reason, but the higher grade is what you
want for saw longevity.
