site is an unknown quantity at this point
We just took apart our Stihl cutoff saw to figure out why it was running so bad and discovered a scored cylander wall. I suspect the fuel mix was short on oil. The saw is in very good shape otherwise, but the parts to repair are $425. I went ahead and bought a new saw (Partner this time- just to give it a try). Would you fix the old saw? Could I bore it out? It would be nice to have two saws, but I don't want to throw any money away. Secondly- who mixes your fuel? Is it whoever goes to the gas station?, or do you have a designated feul mixologist?
