Does the pull starter pull?

No, it doesn't. It is hard plastic that is molded to the body of the chainsaw. It has a button on the handle that starts the noise and chain.

yes but the design leads to debris in the started mechanism that prevents the pulll system to work. Don't buy it. I have mine in the shop twice in two months for repair.

No it didn't. Also the key start does not work very well on it either. It mostly has to be pull started. It does run well though.

Yes it is called recoil starter. Here is a link to the manual http://www.championpowerequipment.com/pdf/manuals/46539/46539_manual-english.pdf

IIRC it does, the jump starting option draws a lot of power. I'll check mine when I'm in the garage and if it's different I'll let you know.

I was having trouble getting mine to start also. I pulled once or twice and then it would get REALLY hard to pull. I didn't realize this was caused by pressure building in the pump. I have since began starting the washer by simultaneously aiming the nozzle in a safe direction, squeezing the trigger to relieve the pressure, and pulling the cord. This may not be the safest method, but now it starts on the first pull and that pull is VERY easy.

No Nancy, this is the one with the pull cord, but starts easily, usually on the first pull

No trouble at all to start - just follow the owners manual for choke settings and speed. Started the second pull after set-up and on the first pull every time after that.

No it is not, but it starts at first or second pull every time (just push the gasoline priming pump a couple times first)

Not much at all. Mine starts on the second pull 95% of the time. I've never had a problem with mine.

No, mine generally hits on first pull if I remember to set choke and have switch in run position. I crank it about once every one to two months to keep it ready. Only use NON ETHENOL gas in it! ! !

The electric start on mine is powered by plugging in to 120 AC. It's a Animal, but I've been able to pull start it. Not hard to pull, I think the electric start is a good option in case it gets stubborn i.e. bad gas from long term storage. enjoy!

Mine starts at 5 pulls every single time. From the first time I used it until the last. I have read others say theirs starts on the first pull, maybe so but mine starts at 5. Hope this helps.

No. But I installed the electric starter from the blown motor I was replacing and it works great.

Yes this model has a pull start on it in case the battery should lose it's charge. To reduce the chance of the battery losing a charge, there's a button to make sure that there's no drain on the battery when not in use, and also just starting it up about once a month or so is recommended.

From the owner's manual: 6. When starting the engine, grasp starter grip handle (Figure25) and pull slowly until you feel some resistance. Then pull rapidly to start engine. Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.* NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
