Bought used several years ago. I have replaced the oil pump parts previously, but in the last year the saw has shown what I think is an issue with the carb. First it was a little burp at full throttle when cutting. Today it doesn't want to idle. It also doesn't seem to pull full rpm. I use only premium no alcohol gas. Although it could simply need some experienced adjustment, are there any rebuild kits or replacement carbs available (I do not know the year, but the7 digit number on the black tag is 5130050).
Also, I had a 2083 previously which my brother now owns and it has a decompression release. I have a toolmaker friend that is a gear head and extremely capable. Is it a no-no to drill and tap the cylinder for a decomp release. This thing is a bear to pull over repeatedly if it doesn't fire right away.
Thanks for the help.
