Dont know a lot about much, and especially not chainsaws, but i figured i would gamble 50 bucks. 30 bucks is actually just what i paid for a new chain brake assembly, since this one was broke. also had to replace the pull start assembly, since it was missing, haha, but i had spare poulan that didnt work, so i robbed it for parts. Initially spoke for the saw at 50 bucks unseen, but since it took the owner a long time to get it to me, they just gave it to me and apologized. all i did was run some new gas through it and tuned the idle, thats it. was surprised that it even ran, i expected it to be a bust since the pull rope was missing ( i could just picture some guy pulling and pulling forever til it broke).
so my question is, whats been the experience with these saws? what did i buy essentially? whats it comparable to these days, or if not, why? Dont know how old it is, but from the previous owner im guessing 10+ years. not had a chance to use it on anything bigger than 6-8 inch limbs, have had it all winter. Bout to cut down a ~20inch sweet gum though this weekend, so i'll know then.
I think it may need some extra cleaning, put some gas in it last week and started it again, the throttle wants to hang a little after you release it. this video just shows it after i got it running, and my son being himself...he can see himself in my phone..:msp_biggrin:
