I like mine, real close to a stock 241.
The one thing I don't like is the choke lever, it's very cheesey, other than that it's a well thought out design and cuts well for it's size.

"Cheesey" as in Master Control lever that is accuated by a flat spring?....aka Stihl style.

Except better, because you don't have to hold down the throttle to choke it, or put on half choke. Just set the lever and pull the starter cord.

Yes, the Stihl one is rigid and has a good solid feel to it.

The newest mtronic stihls are great, they are much like the huskys with the return to run after you press it to the off position.
Now if the stihls can loose the crappy flippy caps lol.

I prefer a separate choke, and kill switch, but that's just my preference.

To be fair it does work well it's just that it doesn't have a solid feeling to it to me.
I feel the same about the rear handles on the larger dollars such as the 7910, the handle can be squeezed and moves around a bit in your hands.
That being said I own 3-7910's and a ported 6421 as well as the 4300. I still like the 241 better as it feels higher quality as does the 372 and the 460/461, but all those have things I don't like as well .

My only gripe with the Dolmar setup is that it's opposite of Stihl, so half the time I choke it instead of killing the saw. I'm just as happy with the husky choke/kill setup, but I tend to prefer the 3 series style over the new 5 series setup.

Yeah, my 5105 is a bit confusing the first start up

I like mine. Only beef I have with it is the H-screw is epoxied down. But, even after gutting the muffler, it still 4-strokes well, so I haven't tried dinking with the H-screw anymore. I ordered a rim drum in .325 for it, but I haven't put it on yet. I just have a ton of .325 chain and so I figured why screw with 3/8LP.

BTW Jon, have you checked out any of the 6421's at the AF and SLC stores? I saw there were some available and I'm kicking around driving up this weekend to get one.

Which stores? Home Depot?

Yeah, I think that 4300 is at the Lindon HD. Anyway, the American Fork and SLC stores.
