LAKE - WHY DREAM ON?
Unfortunately the problem is the guy determined he didn't want to even take the saw into his dealer 'cuz he was out of Warranty coverage (by one month) - That's the problem - his dealer never even got the chance to trouble shoot the saw because the customer never brought the saw to him knowing he was out of warranty coverage. It could be there is a defect in the carb - - it happens. The point is it's lousy warranty coverage as far as time limit.
Why shouldn't the consumer be allowed to feel confidence in buying the product knowing the product is backed by an ample warranty? Husky offers that confidence in coverage - - a full year longer than Stihl for consumer use!.

dream on... warranty periods are not about "confidence" - it could be argued that they are about "lack of confidence! In reality... it's mainly marketing BS.
No manf warrants abuse - and old gas is. Most times I ask "how long has the gas been in the saw" I get the "few months" answer". Sorry, but gas does't turn to yellow varnish in "a few months". And rust in the carb shows there was water in the gas. Then there is the question - how old was the gas? Did you empty the can before you filled it up or was it half full of gas from the proir year? At tha point many have trouble making eye contact.
