I was impressed with the power of mine, I dont know if the guy modded the muffler or something was missing, but it was loud and cut fast, right away i thought maybe i should switch to huskies, but the more i used it the more i liked my Stihls. I dont like the way it starts either fires up on full choke and full throttle and srceams!! that and the exhaust comes straight out the front and starts logs on fire. and the chain comes off all the time. really a piece of junk.
if your gonna run one bring a flat head screwdiver,pliers,wrench, and torks driver for the aircleaner,and plug wrench with you, heck you might as well bring a tool box,,, and a sledge hammer for when you get sick of it!!
