I personally like oem over AM anytime. Especially if it's not that great a difference in price

Picked up some Key Lime Green today for my saw restro, anyone know of a good rattle can clear coat that is gas proof?

Piston looks almost unused minus the crack. Low mileage saw?

Low hours use but cracked piston, bad oil pump, bad oiler gear, bad clutch side bearing, bad ignition coil.

Well, just like a new stihl you should say. The older ones were good.

It will be fixed with oem parts and sold to someone else. I certainly don't want it.

That's definitely not gasoline resistant. Maybe a auto paint store will have something gas resistant.

Poulans are gas resistant to begin with...soon as you put gas in them they fall apart

This is what a guy told me to get for my restro job, PlastiKote 229 Clear Engine Enamel. Gas and oil resistant.I

Stihl reminds me of the energizer bunny, you keep pulling and pulling and pulling.

Sounds like you've flooded the saw...happens when you don't know how to start a real saw and only use Poulans where that's necessary [emoji23][emoji57] im calling it a night. Goodnight gents
