       Stihl ms280  Carb replacement?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A friend of mine gave me an ms280 and it looks like almost new -
       original bar and chain.  Anyways, he said it started acting up
       when cutting through a log, losing power in the cut.  He took to
       dealer he bought it from several years ago, could not fix or
       tell him what was wrong.  He fiddled with and gave up.  Long
       story short, he knows I like to fool with saws so I have it now
       and found that it's an IEM model with only the L and LA
       adjustments on the carb AND looks like the IEM is missing.  So
       far, can't find a replacement IEM from dealer.  Found the part #
       but dealer says its no longer available.  My question is, anyone
       ever replace the carb on one of these saws with a regular carb
       instead of the IEM model?  Thanks!
