What did you all do to fix it? Helicoil?

That guy is crazy about some Echo saws--I love my cs-590 in a 20 inch pine or oak--Scared if I got a old echo might go crazy for them. LOL--on a Pioneer 650 Journey right now--David

Well here is my sad saw story for the day...
Saw a neighbor had a large tree...say about 30+ inches...he was trying to cut down with an old husky with a 16-18" bar. I went offered to help at which time he tells me the husky is his friend's saw and he just seized it up. Said it started sputtering then smoking and stopped. I was sad because it looked clean on the outside so I went over to take a look at what he was running... husky 266xp. My heart sank. He seized his friend's 266xp.

I ordered NOS screws and since I stripped it with a much smaller screw there was enough threads left for the stock screw to grab hold good, all I did was brace the top of the muffler and put blue permatex threadlocker on the threads. It also doesn't have the muffler gasket but I don't think it is necessary because the IPL doesn't even call one out.
That would suck.

Yes I agree. I made sure to accentuate that I would help him and not loan him a saw lol.
I did tell him to let his buddy know I may be interested in buying it off him as a builder saw lol
Was it straight gassed?
Hate to be in his boots.

He claims he used the gas oil mix that the owner gave him to use.

Yehhhh and the owners boots. I would've not been a happy camper to say the least
With all the rain we've been getting in Ga, David was probably prepping a boat for a flood.

I wouldn't be to thrilled to have my nabor lockup my saw either. Hate to have to cough up the money to replace it.

Absolutely. I didn't check it out myself but he said it locked up and I saw his starter rope hanging out the side at length. If he is lucky it'll be something different but I'm doubting it

So just out of curiosity... does anyone know if the 076av can be upgraded to an 076 super? I know the Super has a raised intake but didn't know if the 076av could be converted to have that as well...
