what does the fuel matter? there is no damage from lack of oil or bad fuel.From what I've seen these new 2260's are a nightmare to work on so value wise I wouldn't think the standard 200-300 is really out of line. Also, who's to know what fuel has been ran through it and how much grit has been getting past the ****** air filter these things run? Base cut is sloppy surface finish regardless I'd agree.
saw was clean...tiny bit of sawdust in the intake which is normal for any chainsaw...especially these.
they look intimidating to work on but the fact is that once you have had one apart they are easy. we had this down and pressure tested inside of 15 minutes....called customer and spent 45minutes explaining what we had found and what the fixes were....another 5 minutes and the cylinder was off....45 minutes of phone time again explaining what we found.
