And as I said, I don't front as an expert. This little guy was exactly what I needed. It joins its twin keeping our house warm. There are some important limitations. This DOES NOT have an adjustable flow bar oiler.

Poulan PL1416 Final Thoughts
"Overall, I like this saw."
I always have had good luck with Poulan motors also. A second problem was the chain tension. You need oil- it doesn't come with any. There are some important limitations. I press the button, pull the trigger and it goes.
