"You Suck" Thread 2019--Pics required!

Thought I did OK today. Picked up a complete Skilsaw 1631,69CC, for $15, and a Makita 14 inch circular saw for $45. When I plugged it in and pulled the trigger the torque started winding it up in my hands. The DeWalt is for perspective. The Skilsaw is not little either.

Found this at the scrap yard the other day.

My buddy pulled an 08S out of the dumpster at the landfill for me. Cool little saw.

Yes! I love scrap yard rescue .

A few years back I bought a Pioneer 700 from a little scrap yard, for $12.50. He went out of business. The big yards won't sell any chainsaws. I think they are worried about liability of theft?

Got this saw with a busted wrap handle and the fuel tank broken right at the handle connection for $60. Had my neighbor weld up the handle and I epoxied the tank with some backer plates. We'll see how long that all holds up but it fired up in 2 pulls tonight!

I picked up a Stihl 046 for free that ended up just needing clutch springs and a few screws for the engine shroud. It's not pristine but definitely has life left in it!

I love it when that happens. I never know who's going to bring me a junk saw next. The name of the game is to fix everything that comes your way but beware because you might be learning how to break it. My first attempts to rebuild saws were very far from successful. Now, I have a whole line up of rebuilt antique chainsaws and I'm producing between 1and 3 chainsaws a week with almost 0 investment

Yes it is, but we need to know what you paid to see if it qualifies as a you suck.

Picked up an almost new Stihl MS241C for 400 Kanukistanese Kopeks. Chain was dull as all get out. Like someone had run it through nails or something.

Hey, new here. Picked this up last weekend for $20. Pioneer p41, 24" bar. Got it running. Runs strong, can't get it to idle yet. Still cleaning it up.

Need to hear the story on this one, for sure.

Am starting to think he just posted a random pic and never actually got this

Picked up a 020 av Super at a yard sale yesterday...$5
Needs some work but piston/cyl are perfect, great compression.

I need to figure out how to disassemble the brake (pictured) to see what parts are needed. There is no explanation in the service manual for this. It looks like I have to grind/drill out one rivet and go from there. Any suggestions?

It has the Aus 2pc muffler

need one pawl spring
need 3/8" lo-pro bar/chain ...that should be pretty easy.
so far that's all I've found lacking.

Got the missing pts...still waiting for pawl springs to arrive... cleaned what seemed like 2# of crud out of the insides, repaired the muffler...none available for replacement... disassembled the chain brake, cleaned and it works perfectly just looks fugly.
Rebuilt the carb...was a mess...replaced fuel lines, nos air filter. P/C are pristine...amazing, so didn't do anything there. Got new 14" bar and chain...was just the powerhead...
Should get it running by end of the week.
$5 plus all the parts so under $100 total

Got it cleaned up
Running great

I got a pioneer like that this spring and man is that a nice saw. Just wish I could find a filter cover and handle bar for mine.

Got lucky, pretty complete. Just had to replace the fuel filter and clean up a gummed up carb. Just missing the felling "spike " or dog
