[QUOTE="smartin0022, post: 1712112, member: 39232"] They did fuel tests on it each time it the engine burned up. I got so mad I threw the saw off a bank into a deep hole of water the last time it locked up. I was just gonna leave it in that creek, Dad fished it out of there. I'm not sure what it's issue was but it wasn't gas when it was running it was a powerful saw it would just shut off and the pull rope would lock up with it. I always ran 93 gas and mixed it 50-1, 5 gallons at a time with the high dollar Stihl 2 stroke mix. I even would always shut the pump off at like 4.95 gallons to be sure I was a Lil rich. The stihl mechanic changed the the air filter out with a different style the last time claiming that would fix it for good I wasn't gonna chance it. The 372xp was just as powerful IMO once you went through the break in period and retuned the saw per Husqvarna specs. I haven't fell timber in a few years this 576xp is the only one I got left I burn about 4 cords a year of firewood so that's its main job. I can say dad hasn't owned a Stihl since his 066 and 044 either he loved them both but when they went down they were replaced with orange as well. He did try Dolmar for a few years and had okay luck with the Dolmar saws. [/QUOTE]
