Probably work. Just can't be arsed running two types of bar oil... Its not emptying the tank before the fuel runs out, so acceptable in use just makes a bit of a puddle under the clutch cover. On the whole, for a rebuild of a squashed saw it's pretty bloody cheap chopping. Even if I have to replace the manifold and impulse line! Never struck that sort of issue before, passes the static tests including the fairly brutal 'spray CRC all over it and see if it dies test' but movement between the halves must be affecting the sealing of either the impulse line or the manifold and causing the slight lean out. Odd. I have a spare used boot and impulse line, but for the effort of taking things apart to change out I'd rather see a new set in there and then you know. Also need to replace the stupid flippy cap orings. Hate those things!
