@@sawsonthefarm I mean, is it a new version ms180, with stratified engine? If it is a stratified engine, it says on the break handle label "2-mix", and air intake manifold is oval, not a circle, with two air tunnels going into carburetor - the upper tunnel delivers air and fuel to the cylinder, the lower tunnel delivers only air. That means that the engine is "stratified". Husqvarna calls that "x-torq", Stihl calls this "2-mix".
@@sawsonthefarm I bought mine about 4 years ago and I expected to get a conventional engine. So I prepared an adjustable (L and H adjustable) carburetor in advance, because I was going to port the saw a little. But the saw I got is stratified and the replacement adjustable carburetor does not fit. But the saw runs great anyway. I only opened the muffler a bit.
+1 for the 180. My go-to saw for around the house and maintaining trails (where I have to carry it for miles). I use my 362 for firewood.
Good deal! I have hiking trails as well, perfect tool for the job! Thanks for checking out my channel!
I've had really good luck with the ms170's. You're right these are perfect first chainsaws
I think everyone should own at least 1 chainsaw! Or 100! Whatever... no judgment.
Is that a 2-mix engine, or conventional? It's marked on the label on brake handle.
Yes two stroke mix. 40:1

@ oh, lol! No this is the older version I got it a little over 3 years ago new. Could have been at the dealer awhile.

@homopit42 I didn't even know that was available 4 years ago!
