A very good reason for not buying a Cobra chainsaw I would have thought if build quality will not allow it to run at 50:1,

Not sure ... I brought a cobra blower after leaving mine at home and fancied a cheap second back pack incase we had two teams going out and quite honestly the small stihls just don’t cut it, used it loads until daily until I got a bigger echo ... I run it on the same XP mix I put in my huskies stihls and echoes and it starts first time all the time even if been sat up for 6 months or more... it’s not bad gear from my experience... only problem I’ve had is the fuel caps breaking but the echo ones are a straight swap.

Unfortunately Chinese chainsaws are a bit of a lottery , for every good one etc.

Really ?? Off the back of my cobra experience I have recommend it to folks and three of them have brought the blowers ... no complaints but the fuel cap.
I’m as snobby as hell with my saw but then a saw is not like a blower... if I gun my husky 560 or stihlms460 at the critical moment it’s when I need the power that is why I choose those saws .. a reliable cheap blower in the face of what our German and Swedish friends offer us I would probably take the cobra !
