The good saws still had the engines made in VA iirc. We still make spark plugs here!!!Well it says manufactured in the USA with foreign and domestic components...….
Maybe it was assembled here and the spark plug is the (made in USA) component

Shouldn't the exhaust come out of the 3 louvers above that area? Blown exhaust gasket?
The louvered piece is an overlay of the muffler. It's leaking just behind the louver. It's most likely spot welded in place and leaking between the weldsShouldn't the exhaust come out of the 3 louvers above that area? Blown exhaust gasket?
My gosh, someone could give you a million dollars in hundred dollar bills and you'd complain they weren't twenties. lol, lol.After 2 hours of non stop cutting with the Stihl I can offer a preliminary opinion. I hate to admit it but the Husqvarna has the Stihl beat in a few areas.
Both saws cut about the same however IMO the Husqvarna starts better (when running correctly), more comfortable to use (less vibration/ better feel in general ), appears to use less fuel than the Stihl and placement of the controls are more user friendly.
There are a couple of quirks in the design of the Stihl, one is how the hot exhaust exits and hits the plastic case. It's already started to bister and discolor the case.
It did finish the job so I'll have to get over the other stuff...

Neighbor bought a new Stihl a few years ago and had the same hard start problem. Was one of the cheaper chink made ones. He had to take it back a couple of times and got things ironed out. He heats 95% with wood from his acreage so he should of went first class.Saws weren't free and 10-15 pulls to start wouldn't make anyone happy
