Wish I had a video of it.

I once had a Toro S-200 POS blow up on me... it sent the rod cap through the side of the case, and proceeded to smash into the side of my barn... disintegrated completely...

I was about to pull the plug wire (key switch was broken, and it was screaming its balls off because way, way too lean) when it blew up.

Still a little mark on the barn side where the rod cap hit... I'll have to get a pic of it sometime, probably aluminum particles from the disintegrated rod cap that's embedded into the metal siding.

That was fun... not really. Scary to think that if I was standing in front of it that I would've been hit by that rod cap... ouch.

You are a sick man,

Did you abuse little kittys in your youth?
 
Soon as I save up enough for the parts, I'll be fixing my similar Craftsman - One man's trash....

I don't get it either. It was not very long ago that you would have been happy to have a saw like that to tinker on.
 
Maybe SawTroll has him under an evil spell,
"kill the POS homeowner saw"


































or 150 is on some heavy prescription drugs?

I could care less what you do with your money, your Poulan, or your Echo 8000. I just don't understand the need to blow it up. To each his own. Sorry for disrupting such a valuable thread.

If you werent so busy looking to urinate in someones cherrios...

It shows those who may not know ,...what a lean saw sounds like

and how tough 2 strokes are

and that brief straight gassed engine doesnt always mean complete and total destruction of piston and cylinder

MERRY CHRISTMAS
