I purchased this after we had lost power for a week early in August. Took it out of the box, put on the wheels, put oil and gas in it, and it started right away!
Just delivered a few days ago, reviewed operating procedures , filled with oil and gas and it started right up. Used briefly for outdoor use of electric chain saw worked great, not too noisy.
I BOUGHT FOR EMERGENCY POWER OUTAGE TOOK OUT THE BOX CRANK ON 3PULLS RAN FOR AWHILE CHECKING FOR PROBLEMS FOUND NO PROBLEMS SHUT DOWN AND DRAIN GAS AND STORED FOR THE NEXT POWER OUTAGE
