Today, in between splitting firewood, I started her up several times to hear her purr just because.

Congratulations David! Obviously, knowing the reputation of the rebuilder will go a long way in our level of trust when it comes to rebuilt components! Glad you're up and running again!

Distributors seem to be one of the worst components in which to find this type of issues. We've had all sorts of things to come up resulting from bad or misassembled units. Bought 6 new ones a couple of years ago only to find the shaft bushings had been reamed too large. Had to tear every one down to install & ream to size new bushings. Had some with a run of bad coils also, they would last only a few hours until the coil case would split from top to bottom, looked as if they had water in them, had frozen & cracked open.
