I had issues like this as well, started using cleaner fuel (alkylate) and have no issues with my Husky since then; it sits in the shed, starts right up every summer, haven’t serviced it in 4 years now. I agree in general though - same for EVs right, much less maintenance - but for chainsaws the difference in power output can be lethal. Felling trees you need a saw you don’t have to fight to get into the wood, so you can focus on safety and how you’re cutting Edit: Thankfully this blog turns out to be fearmongering nonsense; they are banning small saws, 45cc and down. The saw in the video is well above that.
