Well, the 025 has some bite to it, if you start it on the ground. Drop starting is pretty easy... I drop start all my saws. Supposed to be a bad habit, but it is the only way to start the mid to smaller size saws, really.

A hard pull on the 025 is a good sign of great compression though. The dealer could have gotten $175 for that saw on Ebay.
