I ended up getting the saw, and yes it has a burned p/c. The guy is from Yonkers NY. He was fairly decent about it when I showed him the scored cylinder wall through the plug hole. I ended up getting it for $260. Otherwise its in nice shape, its got a Stihl 28" bar on it.
Good for you. Always glad to see a member pick up the good ones.
As always POST PICS.
