Doug, I hope you charged him appropriately for your time & effort.
And yes, I think everyone will agree, I get emotional over all my saws!

...ordered an oil pump at the customer's request...
...I don't care what the customer thinks should be done to the saw...
So if I brought you a saw that wouldn't start, and asked you to fix the problem, but also requested firmly that you give the carb a cleaning and new kit, as well as a new fuel line and filter, you wouldn't install the kit and new line unless you thought it "needed" it? Let's say the saw is ~8 yrs old.
After the unit is repaired and functioning properly and you still want a carb rebuild, no problem. Money for me.
Ever get emotional about a saw?
No.
Kerosene is over $15 a gallon here in Alaska. When you spray that stuff, where does the waste go? How do you deal with the extreme fire hazard of atomized kerosene? It's not a real solution for any my repair shop. At least with brake clean (non flammable) I can capture it in the garbage can.My method for cleaning saws would have taken care of that piece of cake job in 5 minutes flat!
I have posted it twice on this AS site. Get a sprayer from Harbor Freight, use kerosene and about 60 lbs air pressure. You'd be surprised have quick these saws clean up, just like new!
Do I get emotional about a saw? No. Unless someone asks to borrow it...
