- Many beginners overlook the fact that a small mistake during disassembly and assembly of the MS170/MS180 crankcase can cost you tens of dollars. The choke design of the MS170/MS180 is quite intricate, so when disassembling, pay close attention to the structure. Using brute force to pry apart components on the crankcase may lead to damage. If this happens, you'll have to replace the entire crankcase, which not only incurs extra costs but aftermarket crankcases may also not match perfectly.

No engineer in his right mind would design a fragile element such as that in a chainsaw. It is designed to break. This is typical of stihls, and my biggest gripe with them. Brake that little tiny piece and you might as well throw the saw in the trash.
Yes, I couldn't agree with you more on your point. Nowadays, many engineers design some components with a businessman's mindset, turning many originally durable parts into consumables. This even applies to some parts in cars. Fortunately, more and more users are noticing this issue. At least, if manufacturers don't address these user feedback in the short term to improve their products, we can find other ways to avoid these problems. I believe that if Stihl doesn't take action, there will be other aftermarket manufacturers trying to improve this issue because user feedback and opinions are indeed real and crucial.
