Stihl 261 CM 5 pulls to start

Echo 4910 4 pulls to start

Echo 590 1 pull to start

All stored in 55 degree weather and it was 55 and muggy out. The 590 actually caught me by surprise on the first pull.
 
You actually want it to take 3-7 pulls to start, bear with me i'll explain
You want the carb to drain back into the tank to prevent the fuel creating issues in the carb as it sits. Simply shake the saw, dump the old fuel, refill with new and go.
