So, it arrived. It was scheduled for April, but came in about a week - pretty cool. The box was well packaged and there was no damage. The only obstacle was fitting the full wrap handle, which had a weird bend. I was able to muscle (bend) it into shape and screw it on. I pulled the starter and sprocket cover off and painted them Ford lt grey for a more authentic look. I let the paint dry for a couple of days and it's hard as a rock. I did not paint the plastic pieces, only the alloy. I pulled the brake drum off and lubed the bearing with a bit of syn grease as the oil seemed cheesy. I also used Loctite on everything I could. We'll see how it holds up. I'll keep an eye on the muffler as they seem to loosen over time, according to some videos I watched.
I stopped at my Stihl dealer yesterday and picked up a 32" bar, which I think will be a good match for this power head. They didn't have a Light bar in stock, but that was ok. I'm a big guy and it doesn't feel too heavy.
As folks state here and in videos - this thing is a beast. I'll be breaking it in tomorrow on some large ash. The first start was a piece of cake. Five pulls on initial fire. The choke works as well as my Stihls. No awkward cheesiness.
I'll try and get some updates the more I run her.
