My dads got an 025 and I had the pleasure of overhauling and putting to good hard work an 028 WoodBoss that my neighbour couldn’t start.

Pull, yank, yank, start you son of a bit** start. Mike it's been done before but just check the mix is definitely in the fuel tank and the chain oil is in its correct compartment. It's been 3 days, I heard a story years ago of a bloke that did just that, he nearly wore the starter cord out trying to start the thing and then nearly put his shoulder out launching it over the hedge.
