    I heard of heard of his work. His reputation precedes how him. I'll contact him. Want the 55 to be stock, it's an old saw that my dad has cut many of cord with and I would like to gift it back to him in ready to use condition. The Husky 261 was my step grand father's and I want to rebuild it and have it ported. Both saws run and cut just low on power

    It’s all down hill now buddy, after Kevin works his magic. I’m pretty sure there will be more in the future. After you run his saws, things just isn’t the same.
