Replace that all-steel blade with a good carbide and then you won't need your chainsaws anymore. I really like the Forester non-vented carbide blades (you'll bend any vented blades).
Yep that blade gotta go! Hand sharpened that 80 tooth blade twice last season. Screw that.

U have a link to a blade you recommend?

I have two FS85's that have been good units with string and blade. Also a couple of others from Husqvarna, Shindaiwa, and Echo.
But an Echo 2620 is in another class by itself. Starting, power, and throttle response is the best I've used.
Echo taught the rest how to make trimmers IMO.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing, but the FS75, 80, and 85 were nearly identical and I would be happy to own any of them. I should have specified that.
Those series just plan run forever, if you take care of them, simple and effective 2T’s
