Hi all,I am new to the list and I have been reading some of the posts and they are very interesting. my problem is that last weekend I was cutting a tree (31" dia.) and my Homelite Super XL/w.20" bar locked up while idleing. I don't know if I overheated it while cutting the fork of the tree long ways or what. I have been mixing the gas at 32:1 for the last 4 years and have never had a problem. I had noticed the last few months while at an idle sometimes I would hear a little rattling noise.Does anyone have any suggestions as whether I should try and repair it or scrap it. it is only 4 yrs old. If I scrap it what are some suggestions for a replacement. I use it on my farm to cut firewood and removal of downed trees. I cut about 8-10 cords a year. Thanks a lot for any help. Gary Helmstetter
