I used to sell Husqy, Stihl, and Echo. About 1 of 4 Echos came in for repairs in the warranty period. About 1 of 5 Husqys. Then about 1 of maybe 20 Stihls. An older guy that looked like he had never ran a saw in his life was purchasing a new Echo. I asked a guy what made him choose to buy an Echo once. He said he looked through our shop window and saw all the broken Stihl saws (there were maybe five) and said he figured that was a bad sign. I chuckled and smiled as I was filling out his paperwork. He asked me why. I grinned and told him we sell 200 Stihls for every Echo and pulled the two broken brand new Echos up so that he could see them. Lots of guys do have problems starting Stihls, but that's usually because they don't know how they work. If it doesn't have a primer bulb, they can't figure it out.
