PS - This saw has been nothing but trouble. I use it to maintain my
25 acres and to cut wood to heat my home. I'll be buying a higher end
model next time.

I'd go get the saw you want today and fix this one at your leisure. Always
good to have a second class saw in the shop for when the good one breaks.
That's what our Homelites are for. Gastonia, NC has a Homelite factory so
refurbished units are plentiful here.

As to what saw you get? Another thread but my vote is for Stihl.
