    Estimate He simply told my father that it would cost more to fix then to buy a new saw.. and my father took his word for it and bought a new saw. I wish I would have known this happened before he went to the dealer.

    yeah Yeah I figured I would probally need to clean it up a little once it arrives. Hopefully I can get my backhoe back togather this week and cut some wood, and tinker on this later in the evenings.

    I have to agree my other saw is identicle and its has been a great saw with no issues. I have done a lot of lot clearing, road building and firewood with it. I also have used yamabond in the past on snowmachine cases. It does work good... As for seals I was thinking I probally would change them...

    So someone mistakenly put streight gas in the saw, and killed the piston and cylinder. The Stealer said it would cost the same as buying a new saw to fix. He ended up buying a saw. Anyway I found a cylinder and piston kit for 50 bucks on ebay and I ordered it so I can rebuild it. I was looking...

    I am not too worried about it, I am sure it will be fine. If i do have issues, its getting traded for an older one this year spring. I live in the woods far from people, so noone will see it (meaning i dont have to deal with the EPA bs) and I will just bring it here and install it my self.

    Yeah, My father keeps his in a storage shed too, I am hoping to get one next year. It's very frusterating not knowing if its the stove, or me or the wood or what. So it is nice to hear that someone else has been down this road and dry wood fixed the problem.
