I went to the Stihl store, and became even more confused. They told me never to run gas that is higher octane than 87. They said it will score the cylinder. I'm going to check the manual on that one. They said to use only synthetic oil (Stihl brand, of course).

They also had a fuel line in stock and it was only $4.50 with tax. There is a YouTube video showing exactly how to replace this line, so I will do that. I hope I can get it running good soon, as it has its job cut out for it, so to speak. Several downed fir trees I need to slice and dice. I want to avoid taking it to the Stihl mechanic. The repair bill could be half the price of a new MS-180C. I would hate that.
