"You Suck" Thread 2018--Pics required!

[butters_mcfeely]

I think this qualifies. Probably my first real "you suck" worthy saw. Picked this up for $100. Gave it the drop test before buying and had good compression. Got home and took the muffler off and the p&c look good. Getting gas but maybe too much? Spark tester showed spark. Couldn't get it to start. Tinkered with it for a while. Checked all the lines etc. Cleaned up the carb to no avail. Then figured I'd eliminated everything else and tried a coil from one of my 350 saws as a test and it runs a treat! So for a $100 and a coil I have my new biggest saw!

One of my $10 donations gave a pick to me and my second choice was still available. Guess what it was?

Freebie from work, Dolmar 7900 rescue saw, runs perfect. Switched to a 7 pin 3/8 sprocket from the 404 that was on it. Currently running a 20" b/c and it rips. Waiting on a new tip for the 28" bar

Just got this today. Older property owner used it to cut one branch and could never get it started again. 1 branch! He bought an electric saw and loves it so he gave this to me. FREE!

Brought it home, starts a bit different than my typical Stihls but after I got "Swedish", I figured it out.

I know nothing about this saw as I've always been a Stihl guy. Any insights other than what I can find on the internet?

Thats a solid you suck.
Comparable to a ms251 in your stihl world with just a touch less hp. It's the little brother to the 450 that has slightly more hp than the ms251.
These are my favorite non model plastic saw(well the 450 is lol), the run an 18" for limbing duties and will cut quite well up to around 10".
I like the quick clips on the air filter cover as the easy accessibility means the filter is more likely to be cleaned more often.
I know a guy who sells firewood and he cut over 200 cords with one of these as his only saw for quite some time(his was the 445).
Good to see you getting Swedish , enjoy.
Edit; pretty sure that's a good quality bar and not one of the cheapies too .

Just picked up this one yesterday along with a lot of other chainsaws and parts, do have a soft spot for 2100 and 2101's, never found one in this good of condition and old gas out - new gas in and performs like it should, had one for 30 years and one of the most dependable saws I've ever had, little work on the muffler where someone didn't quite finish the job.

Got this 338xpt yesterday at an auction for $85. Cleaned it up and runs great. Planning on .ounting it on my s x s to cut limbs and trees out of the trails.

 

[Gord404]

Just sold it's older brother -335, very powerful little saw for it size, had it for quite a while but had to weed out the herd a bit.

 

[rbeggs]

I havent used it yet and so far i like it but it isnt as snappy on acceleration as i thought it would be.

 

[Gord404]

are they an autotune?

 

[chipper1]

are they an autotune?

Nope.

 

[rbeggs]

Its tunable but not much. Im gonna see if i can melt the limiters of the screws and open up the muffler.

Tuesday auction strikes again. I got a brand new Poulan Pro 5020 20" for $60, an Early Homelite XL12 for $18, and another B&D work bench for $5. With buyers premium and MD sales tax, the total was $96.

The Poulan pro fired up on the second pull, choked once. The XL12 got a shot of mix down the carb and flooded. Took about 15 pulls and it started sputtering, then took off. When I got home, and shot the short video, it only took one pull. Yep, I'm HAPPY.

She sounds great Joe, glad you were able to get it.

462C's and my 461 score. Dealer gave me a good deal on the 461 because I had bought the other two.
