@ yeah when I bought this saw four or five years ago it was priced amazingly so I jumped on it. The saw does say 25:1 mix and I ran my first tank through the saw on that mix, but after that I’ve been putting 50:1 and it has ran flawlessly. Granted I’m only a homeowner that uses it four to six times a year, but so far I’ve had zero issues. I’ve only had to sharpen the chain and take the rakers down.
Stihl, I would agree. I can’t say the same for husqvarna. I have nothing but issues. Maybe I got a bad lot from the big box stores. I was always told husq was the best but the model I have doesn’t say the same. Maybe just bad luck.
So glad when I bought mine years ago it was only $169! Glad I researched and bought it when I did. Enjoyed your video.
Now that’s a bargain!

I have a Husqvarna 455 Rancher and it always starts. Very powerfull saw and well made.
Glad to hear it’s a good saw I’ve had nothing but trouble from both my husqvarna chainsaw and weed whacker.
@icandothat905 Husqvarna and Stihl are The Top Chainsaws.

@icandothat905 Hope you can find out what's going on. I have a made in Germany Stihl 044 that's one of the best saws ever made....
I’ve been running mine 50:1 fuel mix for a year now with no issues at all.
I misspoke, I said 25:1 but the mixture is indeed 50:1 and that’s what I have been doing.
