Now you are talking about a 2 cycle engine running a chain in a dirty environment. A chain saw needs maintenance and repairs because just how its used. Chains get dull, bars ware out,and a 2 cycle engine can just be tempamental. They are both good saws and yes they will both need repairs in there life time no matter what brand saw you get. My husky I have had coil problems and my Stihl carburetor problems. Now I just like the Husky better just because I like the feel of it better not because its better made. Some of the things I try to minimize problems are keep a sharp chain, use clean fuel and bar oil, before I start the day I remove the bar and clean it and blow out all the old wood chips the best I can with compressed air. I find I will still hit something to dull the chain at times but that is the time to resharpen.
