I'm missing something here. I pull the choke on my 10 year old LT1042 and it starts in about 3 seconds...

A non BS fan here, but...is this more poppy cock like "platinum engine" badge engineering? Briggs should pursue quality in all things and their reputation might improve.

Sounds like just more to have to fix when it won't crank and start.

People don't want to choke the engine them selves lazy people just wanna turn the key and go

Another example. New 2 stroke sears weed wacker. The pull cord is like pulling a rubber band. Then , at the end of the pull there is an anemic spin of the engine. The old straight pull cord is gone forever?

Husqvarna using ready start on riders new technology, right. Husqvarna was using ready start on riders a few years ago. It was called the WE261 aka, weedeater one.

I have always thought the Stihl sping assist starter system on there chain saws to be anemic myself. Like pulling a rubber stretchy cord.

Dad has a 40+ year old Mac chainsaw and it bucks like a mule, but feels good when you pull the cord. I hate the new "springy" feel. Seems almost unavoidable with new equipment. I do have a Tanaka weed whacker that still has a nice pull.

I'm old enough to remember when "automatic chokes" were in car advertisements.
