Chainsaw Repair

Hey Mike.
You are half right on the plastic on the 026.  The trigger is (I hadn't even noticed.  The FB just didn't seem as substantial), but the oil tank is metal (Mag i assume).  The oil tanks on the FB scare me.  I was running a friends cutting firewood for a bible camp.  Chunk about 1.5" in dia flipped up & busted a substantial whole in the tank.  Stihl said it was operator abuse & no warrantied so we replaced the saw with a new one.  1st time out the owner did the same thing to the new saw!
I ran saws in the woods every day for years & never had that happen with a metal tank.
If I get a chance I may pick up the FB for resale.  If I do I'll try them side by side & keep the one I like best.
