I had one and it sucked a mount screw into the piston and blew up. Yea it can't possibly do that but it did. So much so that the dealer never heard of it but Husky did and they said so to their credit. Dealer gave me a new one. Never has run right, starts very hard always when cold. It has one of those auto chokes that dumps when you touch the trigger. The first one worked ok but not the last one and I hate the thing. Its built cheap, no two ways about it. I know you are thinking light duty I won't be doing a lot of cutting at one time place ect but believe me thats just what mine sucks at. It isn't easy to modify the choke so it works decently either, damned cheap and just not set up for modification. Spend the bigger bucks for a non consumer model if you are getting a husky you won't regret it. Otherwise if you want a cheap saw get something with a primer bulb, something Husky left off. Trust me you won't be getting any quality in a cheaper Husky saw. If it won't start reliably you will hate the thing. Get a Stihl or a 350 husky. I do like the size of that saw though. Its powerful enough to knock down a big tree if you are careful and light enough to not make you tired which is what really will get you hurt. One thing you will love if you are doing any real cutting is one of those Husky combo hardhat, ear muffs. For 50 bucks they do rock and you wouldn't want to be without one if you saw more than a couple cuts a year. So convenient compared to a face shield and set of muffs......
