Ok, trying not to lose my cool here, and would welcome any fruther advice from you guys. Went in to pick it up today at lunch and ran it this time before I left. Runs better than it has since I got it, but still has a bog when mashing the throttle from idle, and runs rough at part throttle, but seems to run fine at full throttle now. Went back in and told them its better but still not right. They took me back to the tech who worked on it, and I explained to him what its doing, and he starts out trying to tell me well, its a 56, and just doesn't have the power to to spin up like the 86 does. I called B.S. and said they all have the same displacement and horsepower specs, that shouldn't be the case. And as far as the part throttle issues, he said thats cause he has it tuned a little rich, which is what you want. Again, I call B.S., it shouldn't run like that, what good does the thing do me if I can't run it at part throttle at times, and I've run into situations like that. I told him I have a 2 stroke string trimmer I can run at any throttle position without issue. I got the impression he was trying to tell me thats just the way this thing is. I started to walk out to my car madder than heck, then thought no, I'm not letting it go at this. I went back in and asked for the salesman that sold it to me, fully intending to tell him I want my money back. I told him I'm not happy with it, told him how its been runnin, how I've had it in for service twice now and its still not right. He offered to replace it with another of the same model, but doesn't have anymore in stock right now, will call me when he gets some in, possibly end of the week. He said if I'm not happy with that one, then we'll discuss other options. I figure atleast hes trying to work with me, so I said ok. My gut tells me I should just get my money back and get an echo, but I do like the blower when it runs right, and I do appreciate the salesman trying to work with me. Needless to say, if this one works out, I definately wont be going back to them for service work. And when he gets the new one in, I'm gonna tell them I want it fueled up with the Stihl Motomix and run in front of me before I take it to eliminate it being an issue with fuel. What would you guys have done in this situation?
