i would just wipe it down with thinners or the like and repaint if you want.
i was thinking it was looking like this.
I'll sell you my shiny one for $5.....
wire brush it.. if it comes off good.. if not so be it.. silver frost paint over the top of it.
Yes, but I have put it to one side. Not really needed in my situation, and just gets dirty and needs cleaningdidn't it have a screen?
OK thanks for the tip.Thanks, but you'll see similar carbon buildups on MS170 saws all over the net if you do a google search. You'll also see it on more expensive saws that do have adjustable carbs. I think mine was performing to spec, and with a new (properly tightened up) carb it should run fine.
BTW, I also have carbon stains on my 455 Husky muffler, and that is after careful adjustment of that carb. If you have zero carbon on your muffler you are probably running too lean.
