Chainsaw Repair

Just read this. Thought it deserved a repost to warn others of buying them used market etc.

NEVER buy an MS270 or MS280, both are total crap, worst saw models by a major brand in the last decade.
The ignition coil is OEM only and $100+ and are super prone to failure.
The dealer will not fix one as Stihl wants them out of circulation, they have a ton of problems.
Also most of the parts are unique to these two models so they are all OEM only and expensive and scarce and there will be no aftermarket parts coming down the road for them, as Stihl pulled the models from shelves quickly when all the problems became apparent.
