What's the back story on this, I'm sure your stepbrother is dying to find out.

I see what you did there...

Customer brought in a MS210C today that I had worked on in November, said he used it a few times and last time it wouldn't start.

"When did you try to start it"

"Yesterday, not even a pop"

Choke off, throttle pinned open, popped on the first pull, sputtered on the second, ran on the third.

Did you charge him the full diagnostic fee?

Another one dropped off yesterday, MS251, wouldn't start.

Tried a few pulls with throttle open, nothing.

Removed the top cover (only one screw...) and tried it again, saw the choke rod flopping around loose. Connected the choke rod, set the choke, started on the next pull.

Sharpened the chain and sent him on his way.

Its always the choke rod flopping around that is the culprit!! I have had that a few times, get ready to throw the saw and see the issue, then feel like an idiot for a while...
