well, I finally got my 2153
first comment out board clutches are a pita. atleast the first time, there is no way around it you have to bring the tension screw all the way back or else it won't go on
second comment why did they have to hide the last screw for the recoil cover behind the handle. they could have atleast moved it over a 1/4 inch so you could reach it with a long handle.
third comment the primer bulb makes the top cover harder to remove but I think I will get the hang of it soon. but it sure adds a lot of fuel hose under the top cover. If something ever goes wrong with it I think it would be worth it to delete it.
I finally got the limiter tabs off. clipped them with a pair of cutters and finished off with an exacto. just so others know, a red hot exacto knife does not work, it only sinks in 1/16 inch before cooling off . the non cat muffler will be going on soon and then all that is left is to try it out.
by the way it weighs in at 14lbs with bar and chain but no fluids
16 inch bar with 3/8 chain
