I do the same thing. for a variety of reasons I prefer electric chain
saws. always start, if dropped smashed low cost. very controllable, no
messing around to get it started.
i buy mine at flea markets and garage sales for 10 bucks a poiece or
less. I often find them in perfect shape, and ttempt to get the same
model so parts are interchangeable.
