Very simple straightforward review. I'm thinking of buying this within a couple of weeks. Great advice on not chocking. Wouldn't have believed it was that easy to start had I not seen it.
I bought one of these last week and agree on the flooding! This model is amazingly easy to flood and takes forever to clear if you do. Apparently my unit doesn't need any choke on really warm days... I'm sure it will be different in winter.
It Is easy to flood any stihl saws. I just put them in the run position and pull eight or 10 times to clear the flood. Then I put them in the warm start position and pull it until it rolls over. When they roll over, just blip it up and pull till it starts. The key is getting them to roll over - attempt to start. Sometimes they roll over in the cold start position, sometimes in the warm start position and sometimes in the run or ignite position. Generally, I push them down on position and pull still they start. The easiest saw to flood is the ms 250 and 251. Usually I limit my pulls in the cold start position to less than 4 pulls, 4 in the warm start position and as many as I want in the run position. Each saw is different and you must tailor your starting sequence to the preferences of that saw.
I upgraded them as well and am very happy. Donnyboy has a great video on this subject with part numbers etc... I did not lengthen the bar, just increased the width of bar and chain
@@gs2042 search this: Donnyboy ms180 and look at the 3rd video down. He references the part numbers in the video, I believe. I don’t have the saw anymore.
I got the same one and I love it. If you want to see starting problems, try a Husqvarna, never again! Also, I want your t-shirt with the bears, I love it!
Hmmm. Interesting video on this saw. I think I'll follow and see where this leads me in my hunt for the "Just Right Off-Road trail assist saw " that I seek for 4x4 trail construction and maintenance. Thank you for posting. ~ 12 Block Tokie ~ #TrespassersOffRoadClub
I am not a big fan of poulan saws but don't have a hard time starting then but I Clean them and take care of them I have had more problems with stihl saws to be honest

Loved the video. Skipper explains everything very well and easy to understand.
Have one. Great little home use pruning saw. Little small for heavy fire wood cutting but that’s it.
I also have a poulan and bought the ms 180 yesterday with box, extra chain, helmet, chaps etc... Very happy with it. Good promotion.
By skipper. I finally bought my second stihl saw, I bought a 271 farm boss and I love it that thing is a beast

John Clarke mine doesn't flood
I have only flooded my 180 c once after that not anymore
Wise words of wisdom about warm starting.
I agree with a previous poster; you really should engage the chain brake before starting the machine.
Thanks Tips ! But noone asked you.
Skipper!!! good to see you back out on the YT! good review sir, she is a fine little beast :)
that sure is a nice saw you are going to love it!
Hi mate
Stihl or Husqvarna? Which one do you preffer, and why?
Regards!
Hey skipper I have the same saw ,the 180c do your self a favor by the upgrade bar and chain you will not regret it
I upgraded them as well and am very happy. Donnyboy has a great video on this subject with part numbers etc... I did not lengthen the bar, just increased the width of bar and chain
@@jonny5662 Do you have a part number for the upgraded bar and chain ?

With that Zig Zag Man Tattoo...He uses the chain saw to cut down Reefer Plants!
great vid...I love my stihl best saw Ive ever had
Cause it's a stihl
I got the same one and I love it. If you want to see starting problems, try a Husqvarna, never again! Also, I want your t-shirt with the bears, I love it!
i have no trouble starting my 455 rancher😂😂
Change the gap on your plug for the poulon saw to .030 they run a little hotter they need a larger gap on the plug
That's why it's called a Poulan! You have to keep Poulan and Poulan..
Yep your right it's fifty dollars i bought one

I flooded mine too! The muffler was full of fuel.
Skipper I hope you changed that bar and chain to a fifty guage
Do you have any trouble starting it since it doesn't have a primer bulb?
That’s why they call it a Poulan. You finally got a good chainsaw instead of one you got to keep pulling and pulling and Poulan
Hi skipper have you thought about upgrading the bar and chain to a fifty gauge trust me youll be glad you did😆
Do you think there is a difference between Stihl made in the USA and Stihl made in China (made by Stihl in China)?
The stihl ms 180 is made in Virginia Beach virginia
@@jodyhardy8631 built in Virginia with Chinese parts
I am not a big fan of poulan saws but don't have a hard time starting then but I Clean them and take care of them I have had more problems with stihl saws to be honest
Anyone know where this saw is made ms180 c-be
Goin to get mine on Monday sept,8 2020
Как вам улучшения в виде лёгкого старта?
Whereas the crown royal and bacon?
Yuman
Chain not blade
Stihl 201
And that was my fault
your chain or saw brake (dont know english word) should be turned ON before pulling and turning engine ON.
