 This leads me to think that something has indeed been left in the case and possibly dislodged after it was left on its side, so that's troubling. But at the moment it fires up as norm

 

Another thing I'm annoyed about is that it was returned with a torx screw missing. Ffs.

The Torx screw.

?ffs don't say that

It is a crank case alignment dowel, there are generally two, one at the front and one to the rear of the con rod case opening. They hold both sides of the cases in perfect alignment rather than the cases moving around on the clearances around the screw holes.

Where did you take the engine - Bodgitandscarper Ltd or their main competition Cowboys Incorporated Co?

It seems they both have some stiff competition now in Andover Garden Machinery...

Just as a matter of interest, as it was a partial rebuild by the repair shop,  who fitted the new flywheel?  How was the engine locked to do the nut up, Rope or piston stop?  If rope used maybe it got cut off and lodged in a port.

I fitted the flywheel using cord but it came out in tact...

Looks like they left both dowels off the rebuild... fantastic.

The dowels were probably in the replacement casing, was it a new half casing ? Probably needed a whack to free the bearing up if it was a bit out of line.

It was used (but in better condition than the previous one) and the dowels weren't included. You can see where the front one is supposed to be but isn't on the rebuilt saw.

Therefore they haven't done the job properly, so sling it back at them.
