One trick I like doing in the winter is to use cold fuel from outside to fill it up and then let the fueled saw warm up inside the shop, thus expanding the fuel and automatically priming the carburetor.
Seems a bit excessive... why do you think that is?
I doubt this.... I think dropping the magnesium piston was primarily a cost savings decision. They're trimming off the fat to maintain their margins while dropping various lines.
I'm light handed.
Probably the 35psi pop off pressure

I was talking with my dealer on Friday last week. He said his contact at Stihl doesn’t have a firm date for the 400.1 entering the US market, but was guessing Q4 2025.
A new saw in march it is...

Looks like his chain is sharp.... the saw lacks @$$... slightest bit of pressure and it falls flat, just like the original.
It’s a 60cc class saw like the 562 it’s not going to like to be reefed on. But plenty will stick a 32” bar on it with skip tooth chain and *b-word because it doesn’t oil or pull it well.
