Came across something the other day. Father has an MS180 that has cut a lot of wood...it is his primary saw these days that he is 75, that 029 Super is just a little too heavy.
He said it was running funny, but only acted up when it got hot. He thought it was a fuel issue, but looking into it further, he found carbon around the spark plug (which was tight), a broken fin, and what appears to be a crack running through the spark plug hole. Sorry, no pictures as he relayed this over the phone.
He ordered a new cylinder and piston from Stens to repair it. This is the first major issue we have ever ran into with any of our Stihls, I assume it's not common? He was going to buy a new saw until he found the kit from Stens.
