Something my shop teacher said about spark plugs 35 years ago sticks with me, "the most technology you can buy for so little money".

I see it. Thank you for posting. That is my saw fix. I was wanting to add to this thread, but couldn't't find my picture (from 14 years ago). This saw still works great for me, although I don't use it often. It was my dad's and I wanted to keep it in usable condition. It produces a nice strong...

I'd probably pull it. It would always be in the back of my mind every time I ran it knowing it wasn't right.

Does the 1 ring version have the same size ring as the 2 ringer? 42 x 1.5?

Anyhoo, nice saw and a great deal.

I agree with Poulan Hunter, leave it be. At least the seller has put a price on it and is not doing the "taking offers" bs. Prices on everything is up, who knows what saws are going for in your neck of the woods.

Sounds perfect as is. It is a 40 year old saw, be happy it works like it does. Find out what the "one owner" was running in it and keep doing that. I have a special place for the 031/032 as my dad ran them for decades heating our home. I could go grab his 031 right now off the shelf and cut all...

Stihl 041's ridiculous intake stack.

Nice saw, decent deal. I'll be watching this.

I have always sent money orders to people on here I feel good about. If you aren't interested in responding to my message you are probably right, these aren't the saws for me.

Seriously? Still no compression or spark? If you are able to do all that work you are capable of figuring out what is wrong.

That screen might just give you enough restriction to make it run!

I'm guessing worse but sounds fun, especially in the garage!

I'd nab it. Not my cup of tea to keep but sounds like a potential flip saw to build a little extra side cash and gain knowledge on saw repair as you go. Those have a ****** weak connecting rod so be careful with your piston stop if you are pulling the flywheel or clutch.

I grasp the plug in my fist and ground to the cylinder with my pinkie. Not the most technical but I've gotten good at telling if the spark is good based on the pain inflicted.

A picture would help, but the way used prices are around me that sounds like an ok price, as long as it needs nothing. If it was $200 I would feel more comfortable about it.

I like the 031's, my dad ran 2 for literally decades. I have his and have done a few rebuilds on others. But why did it take ages for parts? From my experience there are gobs of parts available.

First project saw that I ended up with way more into than it was worth was an 028. I learned a lot though!

I am a fan of paying with money orders from my bank and letting the seller receive it before he ships. Then again, there has been a lot of turn over on here and I don't know everyone anymore ...
