I loved mine. Really tore it up with a 15" bar. When you get into dried out hardwoods with a longer bar then I started to think maybe a tad more power wouldn't hurt.It was a nice day to finally get a few logs bucked up.
This saw runs so smooth, I'm having a hard time justifying getting it ported.
Two strokes will often times run the best right before they blow. I have had that happen several times on bikesi had one that came with my tree service saws that was a real powerhouse. for some odd reason it puked the ring on the piston tho so i only got to run it a year. I was told that saw had really high hours so no surprise something let loose. great saw tho, id buy another if i had a jred dealer local anymore
