I may have bought a bargain, or a heavy paper-weight.
A 365 that came from an action house in Inverness.
I bought it from the buyer from the action for what he paid for it as he cannot get it to start.
It has been rebuilt with the bigger barrel and piston for the 372XP.
I have it here, and need to buy a proper recoil starter as the one on it is so bad it will not allow me to pull it over as it jams and stcks and is such a poor fit it is beyond a joke!!
Nasty cheap inferior part that I can squish with my fingers.
The carb is full of muck, sawdust and dirty fuel.
I suspect it started to cough and splutter, got rebuilt and still coughed and spluttered, as the carb is full of crap, and hopefully all that is wrong with the saw.
The condition is like new all over, so never seen heavy use.
It has a new barrel, piston, exhaust, but old original carb, and i am hoping it was mucky fuel and poor fuel that has stopped it from starting.
Will do the carb kit first and take it from there.
I will also do a compression and vacum test while waiting on the carb kit.
I need to source proper original panels as all are cheap nasty chinese ones that are so flimsy I can squish them with my fingers.
I had also a strange experience here not long ago, logged in, but got logged into another persons account!!
I started to write this post and post it before I noticed something was wrong, as in my user name was wrong.
I messaged site owners to see why this happened. very strange and weird.
I know it is xmas eve, but still just another day to me.
Some snow would have been nice.
So a happy xmas to all who celebrate this.
