I bought a ms 170 years back for a limbing saw. Used it once and promptly gave it to my dad. It was better than his garage sale home lite that wouldn't stay running
I bought an 017 off of a friend a while back to kind of help him out.He also had an older 028 WB AV so I bought it too.the Little 017 was really rough but ran pretty good.After I looked it over when I got home I found that it's only got 110lbs of compression so before I try to replace the Piston I'm going to experiment with canola oil in the gas.If my fried taters don't stick maybe my piston won't stick to the cylinder wall. Of course Canola was designed for other things than for cooking with and I sure can't ingest the crap so might as well experiment.Might even see how canola mixes with winter blend bar oil.
Earthquake cs3814. Paid $42.50 delivered to my door. It was like new, cut wood with it today. Has the whole "fisher price" look and feel, starts easy and runs pretty good for $42.50.
One of those new plastic homelites for sure, what a worthless piece of garbage. The owner kept telling what bad luck he has with gas powered equipment lol.
