    I could see the sticker. You suck!:p

    The muffler, although filthy, did clean up pretty well with a little dawn. And shined up pretty easily with just a purple Scotch Brite pad. It seems to be a pretty high quality stainless steel.

    Not to enable your CAD or anything buuuutttt... I wondered when I bought it if I really needed a saw this size anymore. I find myself making excuses to pick it up and use it.:thumbs:

    I'll get a 6100 when you get a 7910! Pinky swear!:rofl: :lol:

    Edit: I reserve the right to skip the 6100 and go straight for the 81cc saw based on the 6100 chassis my dealer teased.

    If it works and costs less, then it's not kool-aid. ;)

    I do almost all my mufflers like that. It's cheap and easy. Its the tin knocker in me. Unless the saw interferes.

    I saw this thread and didn't realize it was old, I thought you got another one:D
    My 6421 is still stock but it's doing a job on this big oak I have out here.
    I'm thinking I should maybe I should rustle up a 24 or 28 inch bar n chain for it

    No worries Clem. I expect a little ribbing from friends. :handshake:

    I don't usually get to buy new stuff like that. I was fairly upset to buy a new saw and have it look like a used saw imediately. The touch up paint comment was a nice way of me saying I was expecting to be told to pound sand! I was astounded to be given an entirely new powerhead no questions asked!:jaw:

    Although I do keep my equipment clean and well maintained, after 10ish full cord with it I could care less about a little missing paint. Heck most of the creamsickle was wore right off my old Stihls when I sold 'em.:thumbs:

    Yeah I could tell it would have flaked off the whole face of the case down to bare mag. In short order. The dealer agreed it was a paint issue and handed me a new powerhead no questions asked.
