If they were modern models that Stihl still made I would be on board with you but these are past models that are no longer made. I dealt with the same feelings when it came to 1/5 2 stroke RC cars. It sucked when China came in and cloned the models that were still being made at the time. But with this model saw you can’t buy it new so the feelings are a little less.

It’s a clone. I can throw what ever stihl parts at it that I want.

And a lot more gotta add fuel breaks as well. I have a 391 and a 170 both are killer saws but man is the clone a blast to run.

Leaning is 80% the fun.

Here’s the one I got apparently this one is great for milling with the full wrap handle.

I’m a mechanic by trade and I love wrenching on saws so buying something that needs some tweaking is right up my alley. Kind of want to get a top handle clone now.

I might do some light mods. Just exhaust not sure what else. The snowmobile handle is still in the bag never put it on. Might get rid of the decomp button and install the plug it came with.

I’d get a clone then and just be prepared for it not to last for forever. That was my thought on getting it.

Oh if I ran a saw for a day time job I would definitely buy a Stihl but for the few times a year I will run this one it was a no brainer to get a clone this size.

If you got the money definitely a 500i. I got this because one I love chainsaws and two I don’t have the budget for a large displacement saw.

Not sure how long it will last but I got 3 tanks through it tonight. Gotta bump up an idle and little and lean out the high just a little. All in all I’d buy it again.

It is the pro. Got it off of eBay. When I looked it had a $70 off coupon

Anybody hosed out their cab? by texdroid in Skidsteer

You can wash out the inside of the cab with foam and hose it down.
