I always have had good luck with Greenworks motors also. A second problem was the chain tension. It joins its twin keeping our house warm. I simply unlocked it and it continued cutting. It starts after a pull or two every time.

Greenworks CS40L01 Final Thoughts
"I highly recommend it."
I'm not overwhelmed at all by this blower. But in fairness, there is no other choice. I am blown away on the performance of this saw. This is our fourth Greenworks. You must use Motor oil, not chain oil.
