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"?

He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
