Double posting here, but it is a special moment.....
Fuelled up and started up the saw this afternoon to see what I have got in my hands. Took a few pulls to fire, but I think it was pulling fuel through up the fuel line. Then it fired straight into life, and settled down to a healthy burble. Gave it a rev and it quickly builds revs and then a slight trace of 4 stroking at the top end............beautiful.
Was planning to take the McCulloch bush next weekend until I sort out storage in the 4wd for the Stihl (Bugger is 25mm too long from the back door to the cargo barrier) but the heart is saying "take the stihl"
