I purchased this chainsaw. September 2008. Not knowing that this saw would let me down. My dad had a older one. Still runs and works great. My biggest complaint is that the Brake would stick alot. So i removed it. (2nd) the choke lever broke off. Made of plastic. (3rd) you cant get this part no longer available. (4th) The choke has to be at least a third open for it to run at higher speeds. If the butterfly is wide open, it will starve itself and quit. (5th) Oil leaks out of the oiler, leaving my work shop oily where ever i sit it. I have only used it a couple of times since i bought it. It's now year 2011. The only good thing about it, it has plenty of power, and is light weight.
