Stihl MS180 Oh boy!

[BetzyF4ever]

Hey folks, Betzy from Ontario Canuck land here. I just picked up a dual buy with this MS180 as the the second saw, he said it stalled while stuck in a tree and never ran after. Well maybe, I’m not not a mechanic so I’m no expert but it’s seems maybe they had some non mixed gas used here??
The video shows the piston through the muffler port…
Any of you fine gals or gents done a rebuild on one of these before? Tips would be appreciated

When your piston looks like a bar code it is time for a new piston and cylinder!

It happens.
My long time buddy who's been around chainsaws for over 50 years recently bought a new MS 250 and straight gassed it on very 1st tank, seized...... warranty denied.
