Perhaps those among us who use chainsaws everyday could help. I have a 9 month old MS180 this is the second one I’ve owned from new and literally wore the last one out, it was that reliable.
The latest saw seems to have a problem with the choke spindle or master control rod which keeps jumping out of the plastic moulded holder just above the trigger, also the lever sticks in the choke position and doesn’t release when the trigger is activated causing the saw to rev highly on starting until I manually push the lever up to tickover position.
Another query, I contacted the supplier and they said to take it to any authorised Stihl dealer for remedial warranty work which is fair enough but I’m told by the nearest local guy the warranty is with the supplier, this cannot be right surely Stihl are a worldwide company.
