It is a very valid point, believe me - you will only not do it once!!!

I have 100% faith in your judgement! Puzzled out the chain adjuster now

Mine was 14 days and delivered by parcel force in the end. Got a text from them the day before

Done! ... I think! Had to backtrack a bunch of times from missing stuff. The 2 screws on the side handle are the wrong ones, should be self tappers but aren't in the kit. Haven't fired it but sounds good when pull the starter. Feels very close to a genuine one, much better than I expected to be honest!

Wow, that was quick! Did you use any special tools and do you have much experience in saw mechanics?

No and no. Which is why took it on! Nearly all done with a t27 torx spanner, socket set and regular screwdriver.

Are you going to get someone to compression test it before trying to turn it over or just go for it? The only thing putting me off is seating the crank and not losing compression!
