Hell Romeo I cleaned out the exhaust port, toss the muflfer, it was packed. Put a new muffler on, took it outside and guess what, it smoked like a w-ore out of Detriot, your 100% right. I have no clue how much oil he has in the gas but then again he doesn't either,LOLOL

I have an Uncle who bought a brand new chainsaw a few years back, he brought it home and filled it with Bar Oil and Mix, set to on position, put choke on, pulled starter about 10 to 20 times, didn't start.......... put choke off, pulled starter another 10 to 20 times, didn't start............ "I've been sold a dud" thought he........... Let's go back to the start again.......... check Bar Oil and Mix, check........... Why is there Bar oil in the Mix tank?.........$hit!!!!
Let's just say Bar Oil and Carbs don't mix well!

If you did that for free, I could only wish that you were my local dealer. The knuckleheads in this area don't have a clue about anything...Stihl or Husky! This is the reason that I have no problem buying on the 'net. Goodonya THALL!

Guess what Fastcat, I picked up another FS85 today in great shape. Only needs a carb. The feller said naaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I've had that thing a long time, I'd rather buy a new one than to put money in that one. He goes you want it, I being the fine gent I am said well I reckon I can take it off your hands,LOL. One new one sold, one freebie for me. Its amazing how treating your customers good pays off over time. Been dealing with that guy for years. Also got a nice 028 this week from another long time customer. It needs abit of work so he decided not to worry with it but instead pass it over to yours truely to be fixed and placed in the THALL saw collection. I think that FS85 puts me at 8 now so even though that 55 of yours is wicked I think I'll let ya keep it,LOL

LOLOLOL, its all in a days work. Today I was swamped. My buddy Joe came by today and he's a member on this site. He can attest you couldn't hardly walk in the shop for all the equipment coming in and out. Had one guy drive over a 50 miles to drop off two weed machines and a blower. He knows I'll fix him up and make the trip worthwhile. You should come by sometime Fastcast, I'll convert ya back on the right side of the track,LOLOL
