Bet you daren't post that on the arb forum, the Stihl fanboys would lynch you

Since I started this thread my Stihl has died. Mechanic looked in at piston and it's scraped. Doesn't know if he can get parts, 38 years old. He says it's caused by using cheap two stroke oil. I never knew there was a difference between cheap and expensive additives.

I'd be surprised if he can't get the bits. I got disillusioned with the autotune on stihl, having been a stihl man for years, and bought a echo, it's really reliable but for me using it all day every day for 5 months I couldn't cope with the vibration, I've changed fuel and gone back to stihl and even though the fuel is dearer I wouldn't go back, but it depends what your doing.

You can definitely feel the different in a pro saw, they rev up sweetly and don't offer the user as much vibration. They also seem more powerful to my eye but maybe that is anecdotal.

I mean for £131 pounds if the thing dies after 2 years and you can't source is it any real problem? 60cc should be potent enough for a big bar but maybe not as refined as a pro saw?

It’s a 3 year warranty I’ve kept the box and everything for mine and ‘hopefully’ it dies after 2 1/2 years and I get a new one again for nothing

It is unbelievable... I never got it. Money came out of my account 19/3. Have messaged them via eBay four times. First reply said delivery delayed until 28/3. Next three messages got no replies. Would rather have saw than the money.
