This is a Craigslist deal I worked on unsuccessfully. This struck me as funny but then the stuff I think is funny is not be others perspective. I will redact the names to protect the ignorant.

So be it Nate,
A long time ago I learned to never argue with an idiot because they will wear you down with their lifetime of experience.
FWIW, when a fuel line leaks it will also suck air. This in turn will cause a lean condition that in all likely hood will cause overheating and scoring of the piston and cylinder if the operator continues to run it. 2 stroke motors will take a fair amount of abuse, the one thing they will not tolerate is a lean condition. It sounds like you really should throw it on your "scrap pile. It must be convenient to have your own junk yard. But then considering the way this failed transaction has gone, it doesn't surprise me.
BTW, you could hide being a cretin by acquainting yourself with the basics of grammar, i.e. spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Nate there is hope for you though, even an imbecile can serve well as a bad example.
Best wishes,
Ron

Nate,
I have bought and sold quite a few things on Craigslist and the key to good transactions is people being honest. In good faith I asked you to do a simple thing, (pull muffler and inspect). If you were close I would do it myself.
When you said the only thing that stops this saw from running is a fuel line. I think you and I both know that this is probably not true. Because of that I am not going to drive 100 miles round trip to find what I already have a strong suspicion is true.
So it appears you have two options:
a. Throw it on your "scrap pile".
b. Spend less than 5 minutes and see exactly what condition the piston/cylinder are in and depending on what you find, make your self $40.

Good morning Nate,
The saw you have is what is called a clam shell design. Pro saws have a magnesium frames and lend themselves to re-building. Clam shells are more difficult to work on. Because of this your saw is worth putting some work into, but not a whole lot. I am guessing it will need as you said a fuel line, impulse line, carb rebuild and perhaps an intake boot due to it's age. The bar and chain appear to have seen better days too.
You advertised this as needing only a fuel line. To really know what condition this is in one needs to inspect the piston and cylinder by pulling off the muffler. There should be two bolts that hold this on, it comes off easy. A good P/C should not have any scoring which is straight lines running parallel to the bore and the rings should be clearly visible. If it appears there is a smearing, that is aluminum transfer from the bore and the the saw needs more help than it is worth.
The reason I have told you this is I live in Onalaska and Mabel is farther than I want to drive for a wild goose chase. So If you can pull the muffler off and send me a pic or be honest and tell me what it looks like I will give the $40 I originally offered if the P/C look good.

Hi I am interested in the saw you listed on Craigslist. I will make an offer of $40 with the condition you allow me to pull the muffler off to inspect the piston/cylinder to insure there is no scoring.
