It is now Shane.

I see that they felt the need to drop the 'go carts back in the day' line. Idiots....

Looks like it'd clean up nice. Also looks like it has the external carb adjustments........and that means a Walbro SDC instead of a damn 'bullfrog' carb.

I have one here just like it but with the bullfrog carb on it. It is a project for a long cold day down the road:msp_sneaky:
 
All 070 and 090 saws have the name on top and on the side. Even the Contra Lightnings had Stihl marked on both.

This 090AV has the same style tag as the UK 070.

RARE New Stihl 090 AV Chainsaw Bar Chain | eBay

What I mean is that "Stihl" is separate from the saw size designator, not on the same tag with it. Here is a link for you all to look at: http://madeinchina.tradekey.com/stihl-chainsaw.htm NOTE: Even Stihl International does not recognize either 070's or 090's anymore, I just looked! These saws are coming out of China like so much other crap... Don't believe any of these are legit!!!

IIRC The 070's and 090's are still being made in Brazil. They don't make the EPA guidelines to be sold here in the States.

This 090 AV saw I linked has the make and model on the same tag. It was one of the last models sold here by Stihl.

Most of the china saws do not say Stihl on them because Stihl is a very aggresive company and will send SS troops after you if you try to put their name on a product not made by them.

I have a freind that runs a chainsaw wrecking yards and at one time he had stihl in his ebay user name.

On a low profile you might get away with that for a season but eventually they shut him down and he changed his name.


p.s. anything you see on alibabal is mostly a scam so beware.
