lol, I’m opposite. Since being a desk jockey most of the week, I want to pick up my tools and use them in the narrow window of time I have available. I fought a homeowners Sthil for a while, they made it very difficult to service easily. It turns out I can throw them far. I got so fed up I went out and got the Milwaukee electric chain saw.

I love that thing apart from it being difficult to get the chain tension correct as it will skip off the bar fairly easily if too loose.

I need to get a larger saw to tackle a bunch of big dead ash trees that the electric is just too small for. Any recommendations for a reliable, easy to start saw?

I still have an Echo one-handed trim saw from 20 years ago. Apart from needing a good cleaning and new fuel lines and a primer, it still starts first pull. It has been shelved for the electric as the electric just whoops it torque-wise, no smoke, and no noise.
