Definitely.Will be interesting to hear what the issue/ fix is.
It bothers me. I paid good money for a quality saw, it's practically a new saw, I bet I have less than 10 cords of wood on it.

Love this! The property in Oklahoma always had couple covey of quail over the years but I haven't seen any for awhile Moving there next month but was looking at old oak I had removed to build shop (it was dying and half almost fell on my tractor last year. We are going to use the trunk and have some chairs and mantel made for our fireplace in our new home. Not the hunter I use to be but nothing like having quail scare ya when your not paying attention. Food plots and areas of protection from the predators high on my list.Before and after. The brush is now a habitat for the quail and rabbits.

Just went to this site…seems like a good one.

Are you on here? They can probably help you through the problem without taking it to a shop, if you want to do it that way. They talked me through when I had to tear my MS461 all the way down, runs great ever since. Great experience on this site, some are Stihl mechanics.
No, apparently it's only 12 months, I bought it in May 2020Stihl under warranty?
Definitely worth a shot, I vaguely remember something like that.too late for you perhaps, unfortunately, but I remember last time when buying Stihl saws that if I bought some OEM Stihl bar oil at the same time, the warranty was doubled. I think there were another couple of things that would do it too. Any chance you could claim something like that?
And of course, some credit cards will do it too.
Found my receipt from when I bought it, along with the sixer of oil.too late for you perhaps, unfortunately, but I remember last time when buying Stihl saws that if I bought some OEM Stihl bar oil at the same time, the warranty was doubled.

Cash is king.dang, close...
however, your official Stihl warranty, doubled with the Ultra (hopefully) oil is now 2 years. So if you paid by Credit card, would they not extend it by another 2 years? May be worth checking?
then again, maybe this is just a trivial thing to fix anyway and it'll be just fine...
Looks like it's not good, piston is smoked.
The shop is looking into it. Possible warranty coverage also.Any idea why? I’ve had two of my saws need piston work, one because the air cleaner got knocked aside and sawdust was getting by. The other we think because it was too caked with crud to cool, and overheated. At the time having a shop do it with OE parts was gonna be two thirds the cost of replacing the saw. One I did myself with OE parts, except I had the shop connect the piston and rod for me. The other I set aside for many years, and my son recently got it going with aftermarket parts.

It's bulls*** a saw of this caliber would have issues like this after less than 10 cords of wood. I baby that thing as well.
This was the conversation, I was ticked about the situation, being 6 weeks past the warranty period. They kind of said "that 2 years isn't concrete". I hope they find a blatant defect that is something Stihl related.or the shop 'push it through'
