Any ideas on what to do to make my Husky 570 start easier? Have had this saw for about 5 years and just use it for triming
logs. It hasn't been used much. It just always takes 4 or 5 pulls to start it. Have changed the plug thats about it.

 Try opening the low adjuster about 1/4 turn, you might have too speed the idle up after that.  If no help you can put it back .  Steve

This should do it, should start in 3 pulls, pull choke, pull 1-0, pull 2, fire, push choke in, pull 3, run.

I've had a couple saws that were hard starters no matter what i tried. Some i could pour a little gas in the muffler, one pull. Other wise took the air cleaner off an give it a shot of gas, a lot easier on the rewind and me. I've seen guys pull on a saw until they broke the rewind or the rope, foolishness.

Well 4 or 5 on a cold start isn't bad .Warm start you evidently aren't getting fuel .
