Anyone have this saw? Stihl 032
Just cleaned up my dad's old one: dumped the gas, cleaned the fuel and air filter, new spark plug, new chain, new mix, new can (in a new can -- the old venting in the metal can had long since rotted away). Started and ran like a champ! One problem, the chain runs fast at idle even after cleaning the clutch cover and clutch band thoroughly.
It is a heavy saw, although small, smaller than the 029.
Has a 16 in. bar that REALLY needs to have then burrs filed.
Was bought around 1973, and was used to build log cabin (including in an Alaskan Mill!) between 1973 and 1976; just light firewood cutting since then.
