Need some advice here guys. Is a big bore kit alwas a good thing?
Anyone ever try a NOS brand big bore kit on ebay?
I have an 046 magnum that will not idle. The Stihl dealer told me today that the piston and cylinder are scored because of what he saw when he pulled the muffler and looked at the exhaust. He did not try to fire it. He said I can continue to run it but at the risk of destroying the bottum end . I knew it was slightly scored when I got it 6-7 years ago, guess it got worse.
It was $400+ to repair with OEM. But after market big bores on Ebay are around $100. If I do it myself thats not bad. Anything in particular I should know if I attempt this fix?
