Customer Review: Apparently, I Got Lucky
Summary: 5 Stars
I filled the gas tank and chain oil tank. I moved the combination switch all the way up to choke position. I then began pulling the rope and on the fourth pull the engine `popped'. I moved the switch down to the center "ON" position and the engine roared to life.
I then spent most of the day clearing out numerous trees and bushes. I switched the engine off many times during the day and the saw never failed to start up. In fact, I never used the choke position again even though the saw sat for several hours at a time while I loaded and unloaded logs and trimmings to and from my truck. When I wanted to use the saw again I would move the switch to the choke position and then immediately down to the "ON" position. The saw always started on either the first or second pull. I used the saw again -- without problem -- for several hours the next day.
I've been using chainsaws for over 30 years. I have experience using different Stihl saws as well as models from various other manufacturers. I've used large professional saws and cheap "homeowner" saws. I never encountered a Dolmar, however, so after doing a lot of research I decided to go with this Makita -- which is a rebranded Dolmar - due to the stellar reputation of this brand.
I wanted a `general-purpose' saw that was powerful enough to tackle some larger trees yet light enough to handle trimming chores. The Makita DCS510-18 fits the bill perfectly and I am quite happy with the purchase. I expect to use the saw for many years to come.
As mentioned in the review by EHS, this saw does not contain the decompression button on the cylinder as referred to in the operator's manual. This does not in any way affect the ability to start the saw. Also, after having read numerous forum's on the Internet, it seems that the new saws (all models/manufacturers) are set very lean to comply with EPA pollution regulations. Many users recommend setting the "H" mixture needle to the full `rich' (counter-clockwise) position before the first start (which I did) to prevent overheating the cylinder. The Makita manual also recommends this procedure BTW.
In response to those having problems starting the engine -- resulting in flooding -- all I can say is that you are either not correctly following the starting procedure or you have an ignition problem (bad spark plug, ignition coil, etc.) that results in flooding. In my experience, chainsaws -- regardless of make/model -- are especially prone to flooding if the starting procedure is not followed exactly.
