Not sure issue. Got to drill the lower left muffler screw out:mad2: Needs some minor carb adjustments. Does the serial number tell anyone if it is 10mm or 12mm?

Its a 10mm. Up to 129583701 is the 10mm pin, anything after that is the 12mm.
See this old lakeside post:

10mm is not a big deal though. I haven't noticed any issues with longevity or parts availability either. You can still get OEM or aftermarket parts for the 10mm, no prob.

It as a nice new muffler front. Will try in some wood tomorrow to see if it acts up any. If I can get the :censored: muffler front off I will take a picture.

This thing has some weird things about it. Broke all but 3 drill bits trying get the muffler front off, will need a new bit to finish the job. It has no brake band. It does have a new air filter assembly. Kinda now thinking about parting with it and trading for a a 50 or 60 cc saw. Kinda like her but I have a 460 so no real gain by having a saw in the same cc class. I figure the value of straight a trade for another smaller may be a smarter move then doing a total overhaul.
