I've had my Husky for nearly as long as we've had our house, so 12 years I think. It's cut many cords of wood. I did have to clean the carb after a bad gas incident. I only use canned gas now. It's expensive but I only burn a quart or two a year so it's worth it. Dad bought a cheap Poulin to have at camp, it's garbage, not worth a penny...
