I have never owned a husky saw and thought it might be an excuse to rebuild one. the shop has a $229 price on it it because it does run and cut. I'll let it sit in the shop and if its still there in another year or until the carb gums up and it will no longer start i'll show them a $50 bill and see if they will take it
i appreciate the good advice and will stick to picking up unwanted and unloved stihl saws that i know a little about.
$299 USD for a saw that has fire damage, broken handle, cover & gawd knows what else?
If it's been "cared for" like that I'd be concerned about the engine & mechanical's for sure.
I agree with the $50 or less. I struggled to get $350 for a nice 2014 model with a brand new bar and chain. If it runs and cuts try to buy it cheap and run it as is.
