I just bought a new MS460 today. The problem i'm having is when the saw is warm, instead of the just putting the master control lever on the first notch and starting it, I have to choke it fully, pull it 3 or 4 times until it starts back up. Is this just because the saw is so new? I've owned 5 Stihl's and never experienced this. Is it some small adjustment I need to make or is this common to the 460. Thanks for any input.

not common for any saw, take it back and i'm sure they'll fix the problem. may just be carb adjustment.
