I bought a new Stihl model 194T chainsaw on May 23rd this year and zive managed to only get two tankfuls of gas ran thru it this summer and today is August 11th and it's still at the dealer store I bought it at because Stihl doesn't really stand behind their 90 day warranty. They expect the retail store to do it for them. I've bought now 3 Stihl chainsaws in my 75 year old life but zi won't by another one for sure. In the two thankful of gas I ran thru the saw it didn't even use one thankful of the Stihl recommended bar and chain oil. And the chain and bar were bone dry of oil. Stihl is so scared of the EPA and it's clamp down on chainsaw manufacters that they put these little automatic oilers in their saws with no manual oilers for a backup. And my other problem the clutch started squealing at crackup. So my saw is still at the store that I bought it at which is a retail outlet store and when I called about if it was ready...I got the response ...we have alot of saws in here to fix and we will call you when it's fixed. After they promised it back in a week to me. Now if that's the kind of saw you want or the kind of customer service you want for your saw just buy a Stihl these days. That's all I can say. I paid 460 dollars cash for these miseries
