Everyone seems to have a saw that they regard highly. A saw that their old man ran when they were a kid, or a saw that they pretty much gave away in their youth. A few examples I've read: 076, 090, Johnny 670 champ, husky 2100, Poulan 505, etc... Mine is an 038 mag II. Through patience I was able to find a nice rebuilder with a factory full wrap and I'm patiently awaiting parts to bring her back to its former glory. But I do have a dilemma.... Should I restore it and leave it stock, or should I go the route of a resto-mod and make it a monster.
My old man and I used to go to a lot of car shows and classic car auctions. He used to always look at the high end cars, look at the build costs, and say "If i spent that much money on something I'd be afraid to drive it. When I finish my cars, I want to be able to use it and enjoy it. Not just look at it".
I'm kind of in the same thinking of the old man. If I'm rebuilding this thing I want to be able to throw it in the rotation. A ported 038 is a tough 70cc saw.....
what is the forums opinion?
