Stihl 019T terrible design, the engine has to be removed to replace the fuel line, even my crappy old Ryobi top handle had a removable front panel
to access the carb.
Imagine that........Seems to be a Pattern developing
Definitely the 441cm.
Stupid over-complicated, requiring extreme finger-wrestling match to remove/reattach rubber inlet runner assembly. Then pulse line totally hidden down in the bowels of the area, so even an ant couldn't check if the stupid thing is attached. Forty bits & pieces where 5 would do.
The absolute topper was the muffler which shed a spherical chunk of debris that got trapped between the edge of the piston crown and the edge of the exh port, trashing both the piston & cylinder. "Sorry, warranty's expired."
Not the product of engineering, but rather hallucinating. Value engineering need not apply.
For a counter-example, see Dolmar.
