I don't use a chainsaw real often, but when I do I want the thing to start. I bought a new Mccullogh in the 70's, a good saw, kinda heavy by today's standards, but with regular service it started like a champ till I loaned it to the WRONG relative. There is a real strong Sthil dealer in a nearby town whom I had heard had a good service dept., so after I got over the WRONG relative thing I just junked the old Mccullogh and bought a Sthil. I don't remember what model it is but it STARTS. I probanbly don't put 5 hours on it in two years, but I take it to the dealer every other fall, have them tune it up, sharpen, etc. I'm sure ther are other brands just a good, but having a good dealer with a good service dept. keeps me happy. I've always been kind of a tool collector and have some kind of pricey things around the shop that too many of the wrong type of people know about and are always wanting to borrow. I've had some bad experiences loaning tools in the past so after the chainsaw loaning deal we now have a hard and fast rule here about loaning anything more high tech than a sledge hammer. The rule states. "If God himself wants to borrow the chainsaw or any other tool, he can borrow it, all others need not apply". Happy chainsawing. Frank.
