Welcome aboard caferacer. The same thing happened to me, I bought a wood stove and started cutting wood with a Poulan 2150. Then I wanted more power found AS, did a muffler mod to it and then it's been nonstop since. Bigger saws and more radical mods. If your all ready building up engines you'll be able to handle the mods that are talked about here on AS. I like the recommendation of the Poulan 5020. My 2150 has been a super little saw, and a MM woke it right up. Be Safe. Get some safety gear. Most of the saws you'll come across will cut much better if you get rid of the semi-chisel safety chain and get a pro style full chisel chain. Also get a file and guide kit ( I just use the inexpensive oregon one) as a sharp chain with the rakers set right is most important. I wouldn't bother with a warranty either. Treat the saw right and you'll have few problems. If you do the parts are less than the cost of a warranty.
