Thanks guys, the wife wants to go for a 4 wheeler ride , so the saw is gonna have to wait, we only see each other every other week end. I am very pleased how it has turned out so far.

Tested the saw today, had some difficulty getting fire, swapped the bottom coil to 1 from my saw and got fire, next the carb doesn't seem to be getting fuel, if I give it some manually it runs but it stops when the fuel runs out? Guess I will have the carb checked out by a local dealer, my carb knowledge is limited, if all else fails I will take 1 from my own saw.
