Ok. Did they give you it back complete and did you confirm the damage
when it was apart OOI?

Missed this question somehow. There was some scratches on the piston and cylinder. They did not seem terrible though and if I had seen a certain youtube video earlier where light scratches were polished out with fine "wet and dry" I might have been tempted to try that. I still might one day as an Sthil 038av that has slightly different symptoms was taken to them at the same time and they blamed it's problems on scratches and declared it uneconomic to repair too.
