I bought this as an impulse buy on ebay not realizing quite how rare parts were and got a raw deal from the seller as well, so I'm doubly pissed at myself on this one.
Right now I just want to get my money back out of it to fund the purchase of a more common big saw. With that said, I would trade for a more common big saw (maybe something orange or white/orange). I don't need a labor of love, I need a big saw. So big Johnny isn't for me.
This saw runs, but erratically (suspect an air leak, as it won't hold a tune). I don't have a compression tester, but the compression will not hold the weight of the saw. Granted it's a really heavy saw, 4 pulls on cold start. One top handle av mount is broken, the other looks rough but is holding. The lower handle mounts look fine. Oils really well. No chain brake in the clutch cover, but I have all the chain brake parts. Clutch cover is cracked.
