your situation with? Often when then find out what you are doing they are more than willing to help.
I have gone to several Stihl service shops to see if they have any "returns" or "not worth rebuilding to the customer" engines. They said it was against company policy to encourage use of their engines for other than their intended use. I guess it is about liability and image. I had hoped to get a 4-MIX engine to play with. Good luck with your engine, I hope they will help you out.
