Wow @Mastermind your shop looks to have gotten rebuilt remodeled or expanded on looks much bigger or something very nice love the wood work.

I've ran dozens of gallons of mystic/citgo sea and snow and the air cooled stuff from them both. Awesome stuff.

Although I do seem to catch some info sometimes about some actual testing information with some valuable information that I will put in the archives and will sometimes adjust my patterns because of it. To me that's how we all learn or get better.

I have a 011avt here similar saws. Runs good not alot of rpms but reliable it is for me. The exhaust it one that irritates me about them one of the major reasons I don't like to own that new little echo feather weight top handle saw they have had for a while. Hell they even copy them and id...

The 630 I mentioned had just a base gasket delete the 51/55 I have is stock. Very comparable saws but the 630 shines in bigger stuff.

Cheap fuel lines collapsing when he gets on the gas. Yes to above on adding or removing fuel to check for a change. I have had had coils do very similar stuff in husky 450s so maybe similar system.

I always compression test a cold in ran engine. If I feel I have fuel washed the cylinders I start it and retest the remaining jugs after cold

Unless you got a lot more stuff and the 462 is your only saw then but whatever you want. If you don't got a lot more then I saw then I guess buy what you want if you got money to spend on a want. I tend to use the best I got for the job and see if I need something else.
