Grunt:
I've got three gas Stihl's and one electric Stihl and I've had these saws for over twenty years.. Only thing I do is swap out the sparkplugs every couple of years on the gas saws. Stilhs don't rev as high as some of the others but they are pretty much trouble free. I store my saws setting on their sides with the fill caps pointing up, that way they never leak.

i used to use stihl and jonserud all day long,back when i worked on a foretry crew
many many years ago
i prefered the jonseruds back then but stihl makes on hell of a saw(personal preferance)

now i only have a 18" poulon pro
ya i know wha your all thinking,piece of crap
but i dont need a saw for fire wood
i only need on for cutting that occasional tree down for staves
maybe one tree a year adn this works just fine for

remember its not a good idea(no matter what kind of saw you have) to leave fuel in the tank or carb for extended periods of time when not in use
modern fuels can play hell on them when they sit
it can cause the carb bowl to pit,plays hell on needles and seats in the carb also,not to mention the fuel will break down after about 3 months
modern gas sucks ass

enjoy that saw,it will probably outlast you if you take proper care of it  ;)

I used a jonserud when I worked with the NC Wildlife Resource Commission. Still the cuttingest dang saw I ever used to this day.
