You are the one keeping it open. Just drop itI agree, when people stop posting about them getting it, I'll stop posting a response!
Until then, carry on.

It was an inexpensive winter project, something to putter with back in February when the weather was crappy and the fish weren't biting. I'll probably cut a few cord with it this spring, clean it up and pass it along this September. Lots of guys rely on a "one saw plan" around here to heat their homes and a 60cc is just about ideal for that.Very nice.
Underrated saw, I like them, but I rarely run 60cc saws.
I've heard guys are getting a lot of syrup from the sap this yr, just talked to a guy who got 2.5 gallons from 80 gallons of sap this week down here.
Thanks for the reminder - I think the post about my highly valuable black walnut sap collection was lost in The Great AS Interweb Debacle v.03.2021. I'm up around 7 gallons of sap now so hoping that's enough to get a good size bottle of syrup. Many say it has a more earthy, nutty flavor than maple and like it as well or better. I don't have any sugar maples, but I have lots of walnut so I'm experimenting after reading about it.I should tap some of these maple trees and make syrup, the saps really rollin'
Lots of Sugar Maples in my neck of the woods and lots of folks producing syrup, including some rather large scale commercial outfits. Personally, I can't stand the stuff!!Thanks for the reminder - I think the post about my highly valuable black walnut sap collection was lost in The Great AS Interweb Debacle v.03.2021.

I'm sorry this post is not technically firewood related even though it is about highly valuable black walnut - I'll try to take it off line if it starts a tap/don't tap war.

Tournament fishing for Rock on the Chesapeake, we run 15 lines on planer boards. Probably my least favorite way of fishing. Trolling for King Mackerel we run seven, and off shore for Tuna and Bill Fish, six or seven. That’s in a 30’ Contender with a 4 man crew. We always have 4-6 back up rods rigged in case you get into fish, and one breaks off. When the bite dies, we rig up the spares. Off shore, often, you can be working an area for hours, the all of a sudden every thing starts to bite. Lasts maybe half hour to an hour, then nothing. Gotta be read when they get hungry.Been spooling my walleye/panfish/light trout reels with line and putting them on their designated summer rods the last two nights. I’ve got 24 combos here plus my youngest daughter still needs her own rod and my wife needs a spare rod.
Seems like a lot but several of them are set up and dedicated to one specific type of fishing and a number of them will be left at the cabin so it really boils down to about 2 rods per person. And on a day when Murphy shows up, you’ll need em all!!

This thing is so slick for spooling reels. Don’t need a helper or hold the spool with your feet and it eliminates twists in the line.

I never cared for the 50cc class saw, although I still have my 346xp and I really liked my 026 stihl. My father in law gave me his worn out 359. Got one of those closed port topends for it, ported it, base delete and muff mod and she was a shining star of my fleet. I dropped the 50cc class like a hot rock. The weight vs power just wasnt there in an 18" bar. Then I got a 562xp which ran better then the 359. Then I needed a big saw so I picked up my 390xp, then I wanted a bigger saw to mill with..... you know where it goes from here lol. Still to this day I dont miss the 50cc saws, ran a few 70cc saws and was just never impressed owning the 390xp. If I had to give up all but 2 saws I would keep the 562xp and the 390xp. Arguably they handle all my work from limbing to milling, and typically are two of 3 saws I always leave the house with.What was wrong with it.
The biggest problem with those saws is operator error. Many complain about the plastic intake clamps, but I've never had a problem with them on a saw that had a tight one when I got it. All the ones I've had that had loose clamps were all covered in fine dust and had dirty filters, and usually had dirty carbs and that's why they were being sold.
They do make a great one saw plan for firewood, not that I'm promoting that lol, sure you'll have no problem selling it. I have 2 of them, one that's ported that I've never ran, I should probably get it out this spring. Having the 50's and 70's I just jump past the 60cc saws.
Ummm... yeah, YEAH! Those guys with the wheelbarrows should be banned! We should even take away their birthdays. YEAH! Will anyone help to start identifying them? Or maybe they will all just slink away into the darkness on their own....This is a cool thread, the further it strays from wheelbarrows full of punky cottonwood, the better.

To each their own, I’d take a ported 50 cc saw complemented by a 70 plus cc saw any day over any other two saw combo.
Not in a two saw planNo room for a 27cc saw?
That's the last place I saw it, sitting on a tailgate.
Hay there pretty lady.....
