HI
I recently became a RedMax dealer. I have sold a few of the small G3100T's and the customers have nothing bad to say about the. I just started to take a look inside one of the G5000AVS's. From what I have seen so far, I am impressed with it. Some of the saws features are,Walbro fully adjustable carb, side chain adjuster that is built in the side cover. It also has some of the nicest quad transfer ports that I have ever seen on a small saw. It also uses a dome 2 ring piston. Just out of curiosity, I checked the compression on the saw. It has 180 pound and that was before the saw was ever started from new. I made a few test cuts with the saw and it is in the same class as the 026 Stihl, maybe a little faster then the 026. When I get some free time I will take some pictures of the saw, inside and out, before and after porting. I think that this one is a winner.
