The only decent saws are the pro lines made by the "big three". All other brands and the "home owner/hobby" saws by the "big three" are built cheap and cheap is what you get.
Sorry but the saw you want is going to cost $500+.
The gasoline story does have some merit. A chainsaw engine is a lightweight high output race engine. If you compromise the engine by causing detonation/knocking. The engine will fail.
What causes detonation/knocking that you can't hear but scores cylinder walls, breaks rings, pounds bearings and burns holes through pistons?
Somebody being cheap and saving 25 cents on chainsaw gasoline by purchasing 87 octane instead of 91 octane. Goes the same for snowmobile engines and other small aircooled two stroke and four stroke engines.
Those little engines are tuned to the last inch for max power per pound of weight. Now add warm weather, too lean mixture and lugging the engine. Even the best engine will bust.
A common cause of too lean mixtures is a tinkerer tweaking the load screw.And dirty gasoline partly plugging the main jet.
Tell me, how many saw operators wipe the dirt away from the gasoline cap. Then filter the fuel through a coleman lantern filter?
Then there is also the cheapskate that trys mixing fourstroke engine oil with gasoline for a two stroke............duh. Can you say "low ash oil"?

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
