chinese chainsaw?

Most things are made or put together in China, I took a carb off a Stihl FS400 the other day and saw that the carb was made in China...!
 
If an oem is controlling quality in vendor selection, incoming inspection , etc nothing wrong with global sourcing. Example 1987 Audi whose radiator was made in "Japan," a surprise at the time. In the 1960s I would not accept Jananese bearings. Now they are a standard.
 
China can produce excellent quality. You don't have to look any further than Apple. However, I have learned my lesson with 2-stroke equipment. I always bought cheap two stroke trimmers, blowers, and chainsaws. After a year or so, I could hardly get them to start. I finally saw the light and switched to American made equipment. They have lasted for years, start easily (even after a winter layoff), and in the long run have cost me less money. I guess I learned the hard way...:smile:
