Yes,.... and they may add strength too.... I say put them on the outside instead of inside.... easier ro clean. (Actually we have seen some of that from Stihl)

Dear Stihl: Please design mufflers for your saws that actually allow the passage of the exhaust gasses.
Would be funny if not too true!
Noble fir and sitka spruce.
Very wet timber, especially here with the warmer winters and lots of rain.
Nobles are gooey!
beautiful trees ... Wife brought one in for Xmas.
I always save the greens and dry them as kindling... goes up like napalm when touched to flame.
Clean good then spray Wd 40 all over it and the sap wont stick so much old dirt bike trick.
Any oil that will stick helps.
Like greasing a cookie sheet...
Hmm... cookie ...kitchen ..now.
The world as we know it has changed and not for the better.Years back outboard dealers had mechanics who knew the ins and outs of their motors and their quirks now they have technicians another name for parts changer till it fixes the problem on your dime.
I am so sick of ask one of our professionals ? BS artists who know squat.
Its like Home Depot ask an associate .What a joke asking some poor guy who lost his good paying job making made in North America products maybe say Homelite and is stuck trying to eke out a living and probably half starving to death on the minimum wage salary at Home Depot I am real certain he feels like a team player in the almighty Home Depot family.
In the old days tractors chain saws etc were designed with farmers loggers and the end user in mind items such as ease of repair and common sense were included in the package.Now its done by engineers and economists with corporate greed and making the warranty period the bottom line.
I am a construction electrician
When I make a mistake its a f...k up
When an engineer makes a mistake it is a revision

The first dealer I contacted got back to me. I could tell it wasnt the boss on the phone but the young lad they have behind the till.
He said the only bars he could get in for me were either 25' or 30'. He said he had an old stock 36' oregon bar in the shop for €115.
He didnt know if that bar was lightweight bar or another model.

Another question for the mothership:
Why can't we buy saws with heated handles in the US??

I seriously doubt anyone makes 25 foot, 30 foot or even 36 foot bars for chainsaws these days, a single ' after a number indicates a foot, a " after a number indicates an inch or inches. Its not a typo if done on every number in a post, hopefully you were asking for prices on the phone and not in text...
What do you guys use to clean saws that haven’t been cleaned in 20 years. Like the black nasty sap oil mixture that soaks Into the clutch covers and what not
I too wish Stihl used a better bucking spike. The stock one on my 461 is pathetic.

What the hell are you talking about? My 032 av has a 42 foot bar!
Yes, and my 090 pulls its 72 foot bar very well running 500 chain.

Funny I don't mind the gunk building up in side the clutch cover that is after all where all the sappy wood chips land first.
But if I looked at a chain saw that those crannies around the fuel cap I would not buy the thing.
I suppose you carry a can of compressed air into the field so you can clean around the cap so you can keep cutting and not have to go home to clean the saw with compressed air.
He has a Husky 455 rancher and around the fuel and oil caps it is smooth easy to wipe with a glove to clean and refill in the field.
Echos have smooth fuel cap areas.
Poulan does also .
Stop buying second rate and not have all those nooks and crannies to clean.

AlI do not have all of the current line up of Stihl chainsaws. I was sold a bill of goods that a MS 661 could handle any thing but turned out to be junk. It has some engine monitoring system that does not work. I would have to carry around two MS 661 to just to keep one running. I can not afford to have a saw quit for any reason. With my 056's all I have to have is a spare ignition, carburetor, and oil pump. When the carb on the 661 got plugged I nearly crushed it with my splitter. I am thinking about parting it out and trying to get some money back out of it. The 070 cuts circles around the 661. The 070 has a slower chain speed that allows for more cutting less sharpening. The 070 is too heavy to climb with though. Climbing is not some thing I do much of any more. That is one example of Stihl being junk. For those who are happy with the Stihl products that is their choice and for many upon many are happy with their Stihl products. New Stihl technology does not work for me as I need absolute reliability. Thanks
