So does the idle wander immediately or only after you have revved up a few times? Is it wandering continuously or just a weird return to idle? Any stumbling on throttle-up?

Clutch side O-ring? Pressure/vac fuel line? Obstructed pulse? Bad wires? Oiler bolts? Cracked case or jug? Freeporting piston? Sticky throttle cable? Pressure/vac doesn’t always reveal the leak. Even when you dunk it. Sometimes you have to triple check everything.

That particular style of ad appears gone, as do the drop-down ads. The mid page banner ads are more numerous than before.

Interesting. I mostly visit OPE on my phone and that’s where I was getting a full shut down. I’m accustomed to the drop-down adds that take up half the screen. This was much worse. A small video in the center of a monotone background that covered the entire window except the navigation bar...

No, this is a problem. The new adds are full screen video ads with no option to close them. They obscure the whole screen and make the site unusable. This may be a phone specific issue, but it’s still a big problem. Membership might get rid of them, but that makes the site member-only...

Chain brake. Haha.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think that’s large mount Dolmar. I think it’s a D009 (large husky). The Dolmar large mount has a 14mm slot.

Send it back. They’ve always been good to deal with.

If it’s as good as a 400, that’s pretty darn good.

What does Stihl charge for new cases?

Western Cedar or Eastern Red Cedar (Juniper)? Western is more valuable for lumber but board clarity is most important. Typically milling to 1” lumber is best. Often as T&G.

Sorry to hear about the crank failure. I was hoping these had a bit more longevity. I looked on PartsTree. $565 for new OEM. You may be better off with another $75 crank from Asia.

Changing the tank assembly takes a bit over an hour. Don’t waste your time trying to weld the tank. It will just end up cracked again IF you manage to get it sealed, which is harder than you think. And you’ll spend nearly as much time welding it as replacing it.

It’s been several years, but if I remember correctly I could not find an advance point that improved performance and put it back to stock. Good gains in the muffler though.
