[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 4377312, member: 32877"] I forgot an important fact! Years ago I went to get some new saws. Went to local Lumber Two Lumber Yard as they were a Stihl Dealer. Was reading a manual for a new saw and about the 4th page in highlighted in asterisks was the words written “” DO NOT RUN SAW FULL THROTTLE UNLESS CUTTING WOOD FOR FIRST TWO TANKS”. So in other words don’t run the saw more than half throttle unless actually cutting wood for first two tanks to allow the saw to break in, set the rings etc etc. I picked out 2 saws and the young man took them to the back to assemble and ready them. Wasn’t a few minutes later I heard him running them, and he was running the saw wide ass open, just beating on that throttle. I walked back there and said now get me another saw, I don’t want that one. He was taken back a bit at my comment and asked why? I asked him if he had ever read a manual on the saws? He stated, he just got back from a Stihl School and knew all about them. I asked for the manager, and went to the saw display and picked up the manual I had read. Manager came, I handed him the manual with the page opened to the “DONT RUN SAW WIDE OPEN” he then stated they had always fueled them and made sure they worked before sending them on with the customer, and the young man said they did not learn that in school. Manager said get me a new saw and don’t run it full throttle, went on to say they would rectify the mistake and not do the saws that way. Now I don't know if they did stop their ways of readying a saw but when I buy new saws I make damn sure they don’t go ape **** on them when they are new. No telling how much “Age” they were putting on a new saw with the wide open banshee ****, but I know it isn’t good for a new machine to do so. So if buying new, make sure they don’t prematurely wear on your saw by abusing it on its first start! We rebuilt all our equipment when needed, rarely sent any piece of equipment out for repair. I am on the side of the fence to let any engine warm up before using it. Some may believe use it like you stole it! I have no issues with chain stretch as I even make sure the chain is warmed up good too. That’s my two cents on chain saws. Best of luck on buying a new saw out there. [/QUOTE]
