As a starting point:
Cold saw - full choke, throttle lock on - pull 3 times (or hear the blurp/blip) - choke off, still on high throttle, pull till running.
Warm saw - move switch to normal run - pull till running. Depending on sit time, it is possible that it might need a single choke pull, then move to high throttle and pull to run. Absolutely no more than one choke pull if the machine has been running in the last 15-20 minutes and ONLY if several unchoked pulls does not start the saw.
There will be mild changes and variations on the above based off of several thing (such as altitude, carb tuning, fuel, etc).
Stihl saws are very easy to flood if you aren't on top of the start sequence.
