Get a stihl and use the premixed gas in a tin. Electric chain saws and EVs are

The one I have is a poulon pro or whatever they are called from Lowes.  It was 
not the bottom model but the next step up I believe. It ran and cut pretty good 
for a while, but last year when I needed it I could not get the thing to start.

My house came with a Wards or Sears saw, probably made by Jonsered.
I fought it for a couple of years, it was basically scared of wood.  You could
get it started, rev it all you wanted, but show it a log and it would die before
cutting one chip.  Voodoo mystery BS for sure.  You could go through all the
same motions with your back to the log and the saw roared just fine.  Same
hold, same pitch/roll/yaw, etc.  Pivot carefully to the wood, changing nothing
about the position of the saw, and plopppp.

Maddening.  Once in awhile it would cut, but often not.

I drove off and bought the Stihl 036, one down from their top model and kind
of expensive at a time when I could ill afford it, and never looked back.  It's
an absolute beast, and with a fresh chain (and sometimes bar, 'cause once
you tweak one it's never the same again) it'll chew through logs at a rate that
is hard to believe.
