[Stihl123]

if its as bad as some of you have said i'll let you know and i'll have to get a 181 or something!!!

Try and get a husky bar for that 135,the oregon bars arent great,husky bars not great either but better than the oregon

That's just you, my 135 starts no trouble and I can undo the oil cap with my finger and thumb. A friend of mine bought a MS181 same time as I got my 135 and he had it back to the shop 5 times as it wouldn't oil the bar. It's about 3 years old now and his 181 is a pig to start and runs like a bag of, he's not neglected it either. If I was going for one now I think I would look at the Echo CS-310ES

 

 

Me as well I'm afraid

...i now have a 135

The 135 I had was an excellent and reliable little saw, and better than the MS181's I've used. Hopefully yours will be the same.

 

The easystart recoil assembly makes starting virtually effortless, and it's a bit more robust having four teeth to engage the flywheel rather than the standard starter's two. Although you don't often see the 135e version, cost no doubt.

 

They're about £60 from Husky (gulp), but make the saw a bit nicer to use if you're doing lots of starts and short runs.

I've got an unneeded complete starter assembly in my parts bin if you ever need one at a bargain price.
