Good morning all,
I just picked up a 2019 MS 261 off of Craigslist for 450$. 20 inch bar, 2 brand new chains, new filter, new plug. It appears to be very lightly used and in immaculate shape. Piston seems clean too. Broke it down when I got home and the saw is 99% percent clean other then specs of black oil on the bar and case with a small to medium amount of black oil on the muffler and underneath it. The guy I bought it from said he bought it from the shop new and ran it lightly with no mods. I would said I'm one step up from him on my knowledge of small engines and chainsawz; maybe an apprentice?
Anyways, there is the back story, the saw started fine and ran fine but I have ran a tank through it yet. Below is a picture of the problem. I'm not too worried but I'd like a second opinion from you guys because you're the best.
Thanks in advance?
P.s: I did already search for an answer to this, including this thread.
