[QUOTE="SawTroll, post: 5773396, member: 5399"] There were lots of discussions about the frequently failing 5100S and the 14,500 rpm rated 5105 saws on this forum some years ago. The (more or less) consensus was that the main culprits were inadequate cylinder cooling and a lot of heat from the high rpm and high combustion chamber compression. Lean carb settings from the factory (to pass EPA inspection) combined with inadequate training of dealers worsened the situation (in the US). The trouble continued with the 14,500 rpm 5105, despite of allegedly better cylinder cooling - but the lower max rpm coils seem to have helped. [/QUOTE]
