Alright, I have a 394XP, fairly old, runs excellent, but looks like a mangy dog. The pull cord has worn into the starter cover, and the plastic handle is rough, but everything works except the kill switch (you just pull the choke to kill it). The rear handle is missing a plastic cover, and the safety for the throttle trigger (the part on top of the handle). I put on some new Pro Safety Felling Dawgs, which are huge! And it has a brand new OEM clutch cover, chain brake, and handle assembly from Bailey's. The piston and jug look perfect, but the jug doesn't seem to bite the muffler bolts, I don't know if they did from the factory (I would assume so), but you have to wedge something between them to loosen the bolts. The decomp works perfectly, the AV mounts are all good, it fires on the first pull usually when its warm, and it has gobs of power. Nothing on it has been modified at all that I can see. Whats it worth? I paid $300 for it when it wasn't even running, and put at least $120 into it, plus a bit of time pulling it all apart and checking everything. I'd really like an 066 instead, simply for the side chain adjuster. I have to pull this thing off the mill every time I need to adjust the chain. Its a great felling saw, or a stump saw, and it'll pull a 48" bar with authority.
So what do you guys think price wise ?
