Talk about an unfortunate series of events. Saw comes in...little hard to start, low use but its older grey housing. Power up top was poor, spitting back out the carb, didnt want to respond to the needles much at all but the carb was perfect. Decided to have a look at the cat and the exhaust port. Soaked both m5 muffler nuts in "knock er loose" and wire wheeled the exposed threads...added a little heat and both nuts galled halfway off...one snapped off. Figured...okay, unfortunate but...i can put in new studs. Heated the head some and grabbed onto the studs. One came out...came out hard but it came out. 2nd one twisted off in the cylinder.
Screw it...put on a sb1085 short block, what a pain in the ass saw to work on. To essentially be the same size and style as the old Homelite XL/XL2...its 5x more complicated to get into. And its 95% Philips head screws[emoji51].
Anyways...it works great now, cat was nasty...and the port was mostly blocked but thats a moot point.
For those unfamiliar...its this model
