I'm trying to remember a Stihl that had the "pull this knob" style choke.

Clutch cover doesn't look like it says Stihl.

Cylinder plastic doesn't have a place for the word Stihl.

If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a Poulan with an orange top cover.

But I've been wrong lots of times. Just ask my wife.

I'd have to agree at least that it looks like a another brand that is stihl colored. The filter cover doesn't look like any I've seen either. Usually the knob is bigger with a slot for a flathead in the middle.

Maybe it's highly customized or like Jon I just haven't seen it before and I'm wrong [emoji51]

thanks gents. You've confirmed what my 'spidey sense' was saying....it is listed as a stihl saw but such a bad listing and although i don't know my stihl saws i couldn't find one with a pul choke and the 21" bar seemed wrong. I'm guessing its a poor chinese fake, and seller probably knows given the poor listing.

It looks identical to my newer Craftsman/PoulanPro, except for two things:

Color scheme, obviously; and the rear handle. The rear handle resembles some older Stihls, with the throttle hold open button.
