The MS 270 came in today and I had a chance to check it over, and fill the fuel and bar oil. I used non-ethanol gas blended with synthetic oil. Took a total of about 10 pulls to get it started. After that it would start from warm with one pull. Pretty powerful for 50cc and I think this is definitely as much saw as I need for now.
First impressions are that the isolated vibration system is very good. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel in my right hand and the saw doesn't vibrate your hand off. The auto chain adjuster, while a good idea, I could do without. More of a PIA than it's worth, in my opinion.
The saw was delivered very clean and the filter was clear. No wood chips or dust inside. Very happy with it. I'll really tell after I cut a bit with it.
