[QUOTE="DigIntoEverything, post: 7252804, member: 169894"] What saw would you recommend if I were to consider buying a name brand? The saw I linked is one of many chinese copies. I am currently running a [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016X45D9E/ref=psdc_552918_t3_B082275NCX']saw[/URL] of the same design just a lower spec engine and it runs amazingly well. No issues starting it, plenty of power just a bad bar and chain. I refuse to pay over $200 for a chainsaw that is lower powered just because its name brand. As far as I ma concerned if the saw doesnt work I will return it. I have a poulan pro wild thing 18 inch but the handle broke and will not run due to a carb issue.
