I’ve had many chainsaw (Polin, horrible junk). I gave up always haven’t to take it apart and clean the carburetor after each use because it would not start again. I finally went to a STIHL dealer and purchased a 170. I’ve had it for almost two years. It was the best decision and purchase I’ve ever made when it comes to yard tools. It never disappoints me. Now I just got to figure out how to sharpen the blades.

Thanks for the video. But, as others seem to think too, and I'm no expert, this is unbelievably hard to start!!

[papineaubilldean]

I totally agree. I will never buy another one just because they are so hard to get started!!!

[clemmings]

The Stihl service rep told me to start it upside down. It is by far the hardest chainsaw to get started. Worked perfectly yesterday...

[michellesandley]

I've never had a chainsaw as hard as this to get started. Makes me question the quality. I've had others try to start it and say the same thing.

Cold start is a nightmare. Its a beauty when its going and have alot to cut. But If you want to cut the odd 1 thing quickly in the field then its not worth the hassle.. goodluck 😂

As others have said, my 170 is difficult to cold start as well. Granted, I'm spoiled by my non-Stihl equipment starting on the first or second pull, but the number of times I need to pull to even get the initial engine burp is frankly embarrassing. A purge bulb would go a long way toward making this saw easier to start.

I think this was a terrible video, didnt even show you how to set the choke switch, just a quick shot of someone starting the unit

[lesmore]

I have one and I hate it. My old 032 gave out after 40 years. After not running it for several days I knew I was going to be pulling on the rope for a while, but I never doubted it was going to start.

Stihl MS 170C is manufactured in which country..?

[DMBSRV]

Yeah this I do physics but starting this shit is unbelievably hard. Don't get this kind

[zen_of_I]

There should be a recall on this pos....

[insanedrummer]

But what do you do if it’s a piece of shit and won’t turn on and your a musician?

[sherwinsalvatori]

In my country they use a shorts, flip flop and t shirt if they fell to to fell trees using chain saws. If you use protective gear they laugh at you .

[David-fdcr]

This saw won't start without starter spray and it is only 3 months old with 10 hrs on it.

Go back to the drawing board Stihl. Return the pump.

[MrErad]

Absolutely useless video to try and start this NEW chainsaw thay refuses to start!!!

[BananaSlug]

Worst chainsaw ever. It's easier to start a revolution than this chainsaw.
It might take thousands of pulls with no result. Complete joke.

[transylvaniajamteachingvid]

All Stihl products are truly a piece of shit compared to ther brands.
