Guess what I picked up from my local saw shop ?

I know AS members are gonna be furious with me ! LOL Stihl 070 is heavy as f**k
Long story short my dealer sold me this saw coz its been sittin in the store for quite sometime and i was bugging him for too long, it belonged to some
govt forestry dept staff and they never came back for it.
Got it dirt cheap i think currency conversion is US $100, ok im totally dead now .
Anyway it has very very strong compression and seems like it has seen low hours of usage, ignition wire is coming off at some point.
My dealer told me it needs carb cleaning and condenser service, he's not gonna do it for me as its considered "illegal" if i bring it back to him and i do know of a professional saw builder 20mins drive from my place.
Should i service it myself or let a pro do it ?

Holy smokes you hit the saw lotto.
For a 100.00 bill you SUCK
I myself came upon a steal a month or so ago
A stihl 084 for the same price. Mine needs a P&C
And it's on the way.
Congrats on the find that's pure muscle.
