    I did see that muffler. I have read ever single post of the 138 pages. I asked if anyone had an extra last night? We'll see....

    Had the muffler in a vise. Had drill bit (1/2") and was "boring" the hole out.

    Not paying attention (duh!) I bored to much. Blew holes in both sides. Could prob Mig it, but only have a flux core 110 welder.

    Gonna wait a couple days and see what AS brings. Otherwise, I may buy that dual port.

    That doesn't sound too bad. Can you just weld/braze a plate over the hole? Flat black barbeque paint hides a lot!

    My second 4518 just came in. Its more used than the first, but still probly a tank of fuel through it. A bit more dusty n oily than first. With residual fuel in it.

    Brand new bar, opened but brand new chain, scrench, original instructions, no plastic bag :( had plastic yellow bar spacer but I have a feeling a bar has been mounted. And I got the original box and packaging! IMG_20131219_102534.jpg IMG_20131219_102614.jpg IMG_20131219_102627.jpg IMG_20131219_102755.jpg

I think they out um up for sale as soon as they run um through the shop. The 45 was in stock about a day ago but as of this mourn were gone. Ntill yesterday they were sold out since Saturday.

    Haha, Even though there is no wood stove here, we still have plenty of trees that need trimming at times!
