    yep that’s the exact engine, I know they aren’t the quality of the old ones I hope it gives good life i changed oil at 20 hours first time with synthetic and run good gas. Fires up first pull most times, I wish stuff was still worth rebuilding vs just replace and realize most stuff isn’t going to be worth it. Everyone wants the most they can get for least money and that’s what the market will make. People complain how expensive a chainsaw is but they actually have gotten cheaper vs what wages ect were years ago. My uncle paid like 600$ or so in 1979 or 1980 for his 041 farm boss that he still has. He’s cut all his firewood and cleared his land for a house with it and it still runs 45 year later.
