I bought a KM94RCE Kombi a couple of years ago which has Ergostart and never found the ergostart feature to be quite what is advertised. Should it be as easy to start as:

It starts with a short sharp pull like normal but if you pull slowly it skips. Taken it apart one Pawl has a lug the other doesn't so not sure if this might be the issue?

 

I am considering buying a new HS82RCE hedgetrimmer but concerned it will be the same issue. Anyone else have a similar problem with the ergostart?

That video is in slow motion,  would have been fun if they had done done some cutting.

 

Been caught out several times with a MS211 that's in the family. Pull the cord, nothing seems to happen,  about ready to do another drop pull start and all of a sudden the blinking engines running just as you're lifting the saw. Quite disconcerting, I like old school....

I've not tried starting it slowly, just not part of the game plan when it comes to starting an engine.

Not sure why stihl are fitting this ergostart to commercial stuff like the hs82r hedgecutter? Seems to easy to break. Is it possible to retro fit normal start so that you can just pull it like normal?
