How many hours is a chainsaw engine good for?

[difflock]

Assuming run on the correct oil, correctly mixed etc etc.

Pure curiosity on my part.

Actually I just recalling, as I typed,  the Suzuki MX20 2 stroke engined lawnmowers from near 30 year ago, which lasted several heavily used seasons in our Cemetery.

Depends on too many variables. The state of the air filter will make a big difference as I have seen a few now with damaged filters take out the cylinder just through abrasive wood dust going in to the engine.

I have seen 560s with 350 hrs in good state and ones with 95 hrs being wrecks. I think the average operators maintenance is to service the saw when it fails or blows up rather than something that is done regularly to improve the longevity and reliability of a tool for making a living with.

You haven't lived until you have got a face full of linseed, dirt and woodchip straight in your face at 9 in the morning. I think I may chuck this in!
