The choke flap is in the dang air filter. It has to close good to get her fired up, then stay out of the suction of incoming air at WOT. Usually takes some messing around to get it right on both ends. The key for WOT is mostly in spring tension.

It's seems like all 026 I have and others I've been around always take a lot of pulls to start when cold

I guess so.... But who wants to dick with a primer bulb system???

Like Duane said, really good chance it's the choke not closing. My 034s is like that. Not sure if it's the control lever, the electrical spring, or the air filter. It lacks about an 1/8" from closing completely. If I don't wanna pull it 10 times, I have to hold the throttle down while holding the choke with my right thumb, and drop start it.

I shall try that. Thanks

I think the primer system nowadays just primes the carb full, and recirculates the fuel back into the tank. It doesn't actually squirt fuel into the cylinder any more

It's easy to check. Pop the cover off and look from the right hand side. Put the choke full on, and let off. I bet you'll see the control arm back off a bit when you let off

Thanks . I will check it out. If so is the only fix to start like previous stated

I get that....It's still a lot of monkey motion. I am SO old school. The simpler, the better. Anything to avoid extra fuel lines to melt in the corn syrup gas......

Oh I agree. Me too

Depends on what is causing it. Mine looks fine, but I might be able to bend the spring to get it to fit the choke notch better. Might be a worn out control lever or worn filter lever

Rodney, I had to trim the flap on mine to get it to close tightly.

I have to pop the air filter cover off my 034 to start from cold. The choke just won't close all the way with it on. I can't find where it's hitting, I've ground here and there but it just won't quite close with the cover on

 

[leadfarmer]

So how many pulls does it take you guys to start it when its cold

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I'll count, but I know its 8-10....anything over twelve and I call my wife or Jason. JK My saws sit too long between uses

 

[huskihl]

10, 15 maybe. If I hold the choke down about 5

That sounds about right I'm going to go out here and check I'm hand sanding the squish band on a 44 and I'm getting the shats of it.....heheee

When you push the control lever down to choke, and let off, does the lever come back up a bit? Mine does, and the choke gets a slight gap in it
