I honestly have to say the poulan 3314 strato... it really is a turd. I have played with them extensively and there really is not much room for improvement. They run terrible out of the box and even with carb adjustment it’s still a boggy stally mess haha.
every single one I have worked on had metering lever adjustment way out of whack, fixing it allowed for a reliable saw at least. But they really pack very little punch as notes by the full skip 14” 3/8 lopro...
their saving grace I suppose is their easability to work on, and their strong abs plastics.
For the 200$ CAD you can easily buy a non-clamshell craftsman and or champion saw which have amazing little engines. They also come with adjustable oilers and pack lots of room for improvement. There is also the ms180 but imo the champion and or craftsman coming with adjustable carbs and non clamshell for the same price are much better choices.
