My Ariens snow blower get similar treatment and always starts first pull.
All my Stihls require 89 or risk the powerhead...and you're an idiot

I've been doing dumb stuff for decades with a chainsaw. I might even hit a nail or barbwire my great- grandfather nailed in a tree 80 years ago....schit happens .
