I did ask to see other chainsaws at the store. I found that 1 out of 3
chainsaws on the self smelled gasoline when the gas cap is removed. Monday
morning I talk to a senior salesperson at Sears and he confirmed that it was
normal for some chainsaws to smell gasoline when new. At this time, I can
only conclude that original manufacturer does test fired the engine at
random before shipping. This morning I am going to town so I'll stop at the
Stihl and Husqvarna dealer and look at their saws.

Today I was at Sears looking at their 18" chainsaw.
The salesperson went into the back store and came back with a large box.
We removed the steel staples and unpacked the box. The chainsaw look
good.
I removed the gas cap on the tank. I immediately smelled gasoline. I did
not know if the residual gasoline left in the tank was the result of an
engine test before shipping or something else.

You could have just asked to see a second saw of the same brand and
size and see if that also had a gas smell.
