The saw has run on Ethanol for years. Opening it up wasn't any harder than normal, but putting it back on needed a pair of pliers. I swapped gas and the saw didn't want to start either. I hope I just flooded it. I should go pull the plug but laziness is making me wait a half hour before I try to start it again. The saw always started super easy in the past. The Stihl has/had the same gas in it and started without any issues.
