I can hardly wait

My buddy just gave me his Stihl 041 Farmboss. It was the inspiration for me to buy the exact same saw back in 1976. Paul's saw has 150 hrs best guestimate. But the starter is boogered up. Very little grab and the rope doesnt wind up. It hasn't run in 10 yrs. From what little I can turn the crank over, it appears to have great compresh. I have the manual, and have an exploded view with part numbers, Ive had mine all apart about 20 yrs ago when I repaired the housing with aluminum flat stock JB Welded and riveted over the cracked spots. I havent taken it out of the trunk yet. I am gonna pour some Marvel Mystery oil into the plug hole when I get home from work tomorrow. I hope I can get it running. If not, it is a lotta spare parts. I don't have the time to mess with it now, I can hardly wait.
