My first saw annoyed me a little

[s sidewall]

Different breed, maybe under the same company brand, still different. Bought a husky split boom trimmer last year, coil just took a crap. Pulled it down to make sure that was the problem, Walbro stamped on the coil, got to be kidding.

Got a 10 year old Poulan that's seen a ton of cutting, only reason it got parked was the throttle cable broke and NLA.

Something looks odd about the throttle lock out. None of mine has a seam down the middle. May have changed parts supplier.

Zackly... here's a chi

Solved!

I wouldn’t fret over it too much.
I agree it’s irritating - but you can take a razor blade to the plastic bumps and smooth it out. Plan to smooth the metal case in 25 years when you rebuild.
That is a really nice saw you have. Very capable and something that you can pass down to grandkids.

Tell us how it runs cuts and sounds!
How about a video?

My old MACs over time and being parked, the seams don't line up and I swear was in better shape when shelved. I. know it's just me and my imagination, but a brand new saw? No excuse. I don't care what brand. Just piss poor workmanship by people that could care less. Just my opinion ... Cheers. K

Either the OP has paid OEM price for a Chinese copy and been seriously taken advantage of or he's stirring the pot with his first post doing what trolls do. But at this stage I think he's been caught out and will disappear with his tail between his legs.....bye bye.

Everyone thinks I've got a copycat LOL
Here is more pics
FUEL TANK is molded with MADE IN SWEDEN..

EM parts

another angle of the misalignment

It's fine at the bottom

MAHLE cylinder, hard to take a pic at that angle..

Well there you go.

Built like a 70’s car.

Tough, not straight

 

[qurotro]

Can you show EM logo on that part?

Hope you buy a new saw with a bad crank bearing with it

Hope it was

Yes Sir, That is oem. Take it back to your dealer, see if they will install a better tank. Myself, I would worry more about how it runs and cuts, but that's your money. Enjoy your saw, hope it serves you well.

If I'm paying that much for a new saw, it better be right, not screwed up like that.

Perhaps they are buying their tanks from a cheapo vendor these days.

I'd buy a 72 Chevy chainsaw. Probably be the NOVA. Caddy be for the big sh*T, Pinto for limbing, yup, Nova be just right..I think I'm onto something here

Well I can understand being irritated with a lack of finish quality, but maybe take out your frustration on some nice oak or maple. This form of therapy can be very satisfying. Might even lead to future sessions.

Didn't the Pinto have a slight fuel tank problem also?

The fuel tank worked fine. It was when it was smashed into rear axle. That was my brothers first big engineering project after starting at Fords
