Two stars tops
Not quite a 1 star item, but no more than two. I bought this as an only option after the 2005 hurricanes and used it occasionally to keep the trees in my yard trimmed and cutting up the branches I trim. This is a good short-term, temporary saw if that's what you need. Not too many hours after use, mine wouldn't stay running after it was warm. Checked the air filter and replaced the plug, and still nothing. Finally last year, after very light yearly use, it would no longer start. I even tried replacing all of the fuel hoses and filter with a kit I bought, but none of that worked. The old saying is true: Buy cheap, buy twice.
