Heh. I only did it because of his signature:

Anywho - enough fawning over the MS250. Mine just showed me the difference between a pro saw and a 'homeowners' saw by blowing out one of it's rubber AV mounts. What a pain that is, and what a cheap design that is; the small plastic plug seems to have failed. I can only assume that was what it was since it is lost somewhere in the woods.
Speaking of beating a dead horse, my MS250 emptied it's oil on me when I flipped it on the side to stump a small maple. It seems that even though the cap felt secure, it was only secure enough to keep the bar oil in while I was cutting level. Once I tipped it on it's side and began cutting, the flippy cap came loose and spilled nearly every ounce of oil into the snow before I noticed the bar was smoking. I am usually very careful closing that oil cap, too, since it is a bit of a bother now that it's gotten a bit old. It felt solidly closed, too. I didn't bother checking if it was an actual malfunction. I put it into the truck for later cleaning since it had saw dust clinging to the cap at the time and I was in the woods during a sleet and hail episode. I then removed my 372xp from the cab, complete with it's non flippy caps which have never failed me, and never will, and finished the job.
