Not sure on that 211 either, but my freind just bought one set up for carving. He says its a great saw. He is one of those guys who still has his communion money so I'm sure it wasn't to expensive.
Already sent the tach in, and they said I had submerged it in water according to their tech . They should have seen the battery leads were just like new...because it basically is-used twice. I don't think I have much more recourse than that. DTI Tech Tach 20Ks do not hold up being stored in a dry garage, and the company has blown me off. Also said to call the place I bought it from????? I'm just another disgruntled customer now . Any body recommend a more "weatherproof" tach ?
If you ask the dealer will set the saw up how you want it. I got to run the 211 and really liked it, fast revving and more power than the 171-181. Seemed like the saw had .325 full comp or that 3/8 picco full comp, I don't remember either way it was good aggressive yellow Stihl chain on a 16" bar. If I remember the price wasn't too much over $200.

Oh you know him do you? Yea he does landscaping for a living. He has a freind with a tree service who gets him a lot of firewood to sell. He cuts a lot but really doesn't know his saws all that well.
He hates Husky's because the one he has always has carb problems. The only reason he has it is he got it cheap [HOT]. iTS A 455 Rancher. He's one of those guys who never throws out gas and he'll mix up 5 gallons at a time and let it sit over a year. He also will run that cheap green bottled 2 stroke oil from the Dollar Generals. He says its never a problem, but he always has more than a few machines with carb problems around. I'm not a Stihl guy but I can say by the homeowner stuff that he runs for his business that they are durable and will run even with crap gas in them. Every time I've worked with him something goes down.
Saw is down again. Starts easy, idles well, but when revved dies suddenly. As it is under warranty still , I just dropped it off. Maybe a coil problem again:msp_mad:?? Any insight? Using my Echo CS450 more now, at least.
Your 420 will need a fuel line replaced. Every 420 thats running on E-10 will need the new fuel line. Had one come in a while back that has been run only on canned No Ethanol fuel and the line looked like new.

Maybe Ill just buy Echos from now on?:hmm3grin2orange:
Saw went down again :msp_ohmy:. Wouldn't rev to limb. Now it stumbles all over the place. Carb problems I think/know, but as it is under warranty....back to the shop. Fuel is good as I run other saws and two stroke equipment off of one gallon mixes-always fresh with STABIL added just in case. Anyone know the Dolmar rep for my area? That would be Putnam or Westchester County, NY. I want the saw issues resolved to my satisfaction. Wood is now available, and when it ran well....it ran really good.
