wow, unusual problem I would guess. wonder if it's the dreaded magnesium corrosion. worst case just break it off and get another?
Taking the recoil off & having a look was going to be my next move.I've had a similar situation on a Timber Bear & I was able to get it freed up with lube.Rod might be twisted? I have pulled them out without removing the tank through the button hole.
You can remove the recoil cover and put a flashlight on it to see whats up.
Ira,a heat gun doesn't have an open flame,so I wouldn't worry.A little heat won't hurt a thing.Disconnect the hose from the carb & there won't be a pressure build up.Heat guns and fuel tanks make me a tad nervous.
I have put a set of 2 foot channel locks on it with a peice of belt material in between the jaws , no dice ,actually sheds the belt material! I'll give it a day to soak then get it off , whether through force or finesse.

North East Tennessee MAC Report
Beautiful were the last two days in North East Tennessee. We are still at the range. Once again, Brian and I did more gathering than cutting. Brian did a little cutting with his PM1010S and PM800. Here he is practically standing on his head cutting off a red cedar stump that was in our way:

No copperheads spotted so far. They are no doubt there given all of the rock outcropping and perfect camo debris. The Wildlife folks put out a public warning last week to be on the look out for juvenile copperheads for the next few weeks.
Be safe,

I'll give it a day to soak then get it off , whether through force or finesse.My guess would be heat gun all around it, gently of course, and a light dead blow. Lots of patience. Light taps with the hammer. Perhaps a large screw driver on those edges and a hammer in the counter clockwise rotation. If all else fails get ya a used one for a 200,250,300 or 790 etc or 125.
Snakes I take it? Not friendly?

Yeah, pretty little thing that has tan saddles against a copper red background, so almost impossible to see in leaf litter. The younger ones have a yellow tipped tail.
No one has died from a bite in South Carolina since the early 1900s but you'll have a terrible month.
Tall leather boots should keep you safe.
