I'd go for a refund if the process isn't contentious or difficult. I paid $75 for mine. Gonna keep it, too! Have another one I snagged for $35..., not quite as nice.

What is the saw worth? He offered to give me my money back, but would it be worth 20? Then i have some breathing room for parts. I still need to pull the muffler off and look how clean the piston is.
Pull the muffler and check piston, if it looks good, get a case and build it. That what I'm trying to do with my resent 5200 I just acquired. Another member put me on to a 4200 on eBay and trying to get it and build my 5200 back to its glory. Of I get that 4200 I'll be tickled pink.

It's not worth $60. I'd take the refund and not look back. I would look forward to finding another one in better condition and put your money to much better use. But that's just me.
If the P&C are good I would take Bob up on his offer of the case if you can get the saw for $20 or $30.
Check the filler neck on the fuel tank as well to make sure it isn't cracked.
They are easy saws to work on and it would be a good experience for you.

That saw looks like it brand new, with power sharp. Nice. [emoji38]

Took the muffler off, everything is pristine, a smidge of carbon on top of the piston, and I do mean SMIDGE, hardly anything, its shiny like new.

I took the tank out and tested it, no leaks while shaking it while full. Its plastic so thankfully it cant rot out like some other saws can.
It was me, I'd get the case assemble and do a full build, seals and all. If bearings are ok on replacement case, reuse.

He agreed to a half refund so only 30$. I think thats fair. Looks like I will be building from the ground up, anyone know if new seals can be used or NOS only?
Seals can be gotten but don't have the numbers with me. Mark or one of the others will have the numbers.

This link was very helpful. I bookmarked it for later use as well.

Just so you know, a lot of people, myself included, had a hand putting that list together. It does not orginate from that site.

Thanks to you and everyone else for all that work. Great resource. Here it is as a PDF for easy reference. May mess with it later to tighten up the formatting a bit. Just went from web to txt. to pdf. Pretty basic but at least has pages now. Be nice to have the web links highlighted and functional, etc., as a PDF.
Yep that is some great info Chris. Thanks. It is a shame that so much info had been lost here in the past.
Yep Aaron saved that info to my site from Saw Hawgs in 2106 when it was being rebooted. Before it was lost.
I took what he saved and made it public for others to use.
Where it came from originally no clue. But links he saved was from SH's.

I don't want to overstate my contribution. It is relatively minor. A couple of other forum members spring to mind.
