Let me start by saying I am not some kind of neat freak, a little anal retentive maybe but not compulsive nuerotic.:msp_unsure:
I bought a 346XP in about Febuary. The saw hasn't been used much and have about 10 tanks of fuel through it. The saw starts and runs great. After it had sat probably 3 months in a Husky power box I picked it up and discovered that not only had it leaked a bunch of bar oil into the case, it even ran out of the case onto shelving. After cleaning that up, I placed two layers of cardboard under the saw in the case. In about 3 weeks the cardboard was so saturated the cardboard would not absorb anymore. After that I placed two shop rags under it and in 2 weeks they were saturated.
I called the saw shop and the owner who I bought it from was not in, (this guy treated me excellent in the past and gave me what I considered a good price). A minion who answered the phone said, "sometimes they just do that". I am going to call back and speak with the owner.
I understand a saw will leak some bar oil. But my 20 year old Stihl 028 Doesn't make a mess nor does my Makita 6401.
What say all knowing chainsaw aficionados?
I just hope the Saw Troll doesn't smite me for making disparaging comments about the 346XP.:sword::chainsawguy:
