Bought 2x ms201 Bought 2x ms150 Won't name and shame but a stihl dealer in County Durham About 2 months ago, firstly one if the ms 150 wouldnt start, took it back at my expense, they couldn't fix it, so offered me a replacement but didnt have stock so another return journey About 3 weeks of using 201 back handle, wouldn't run, took it back again at my expense, went to collect at my expense after been told it was dirt in carburettor, and £15 bill, bear-in mind it's had less than 5 tanks through it, used a chipper saw Within 20 mins of using the ms201 repaired saw that's still in warranty it packs in again They have no had it 5 weeks, saying they are waiting for a gauze that must go in carburettor , a stihl dealer I'm meticulous about the quality of file mix and cleanliness of filler caps Is this acceptable Used saw Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
