FLASH:
Update on the 026 Pro saga. :P
With all the super tech advice, no leak was found by me. Hose(s) look fine, unable to really check the AV mounts, WD-40 0n the seals did nothing ( no flame thrower   8)  .
Thx for the assist: Incog, Mr. Marmite NZ, the Rocky and Joker twins, oldsaw, ianab, et al. ;D ;D.
The selling Stihl dealer has gone to another shop--Husky ! He still does not want to repair the saw he sold me since he feels that the saw should not be idled for any amount of time or certainly not idled w the brake on. It's gone thru about 12 tankfuls in a month or so. He said that the brake is only for "emergencies". We don't agree.  :
Honest guy however, he's going to take the saw back for what I paid. Fair, ethical....the Maine way. No fights here.
I've since cut for a couple of hours with the 346XP with a logger neighbor. You 346 fanatics are correct: NICE TOOL !!  8) 8). ( And, you are fanatics )
I'm getting that tool.
