when they found out that its cheaper to pay some ten year old kid a dollar a day to make them .

Makes sense I guess.

Mine are old enough that they're probably not Chinese and I'm sure I wouldn't buy a new one..

Quite a while. My 2015 model was built there.

Their fit and finish is every bit as good as their German siblings, at least from the ones I’ve seen.

A bowl of rice a day makes awesome chainsaws

I guess proper guidance and quality control does make a difference.
I've been looking at that one myself lately, I don't need one but you know... it looks nice.

They are great saws. For a stock saw I doubt you’ll find another saw under 35cc that can run with it.

I said before that the reason I wouldn't buy a new one is their design, hard to work on and I generally work on my own saws. But the fact is, the last new saw I bought was a Homelite Super 2, back in the early 70's...so I guess I don't buy any new saws...

I ended up with the smurf version, the EA3200 was on sale at about 2/3 of the cost of the PS-32

Because of the weather around here I'll probably put off fixing this one until Spring or at least until it's warmer, I have a few other saws if I need one.

But do you have a small easy lightweight one?

That's my excuse for buying it anyway, it fills an empty spot on my shelf for a small and lightweight easy livin' rear handle chainsaw. Besides I needed to feed the chainsaw bug...

That's about all I do have anymore. I've got an Echo 330T, two Poulan 25s, two Homelite XLs (the small XL), a Stihl MS250, a Super EZ...I have a few bigger saws also..

I probably need to order that new carburetor for mine...

Can’t remember if I asked, does your 32 have a cat muffler?

I actually have no idea if it has or not. I haven't had the saw but for a few days and it's covered with dirt and grit and haven't had a chance to even look much at it. I took the top cover off it and noticed it had no carb but I need to look further to see if anything else is missing. I was also given an Echo cs520 and looked it over, did the math and determined it cost more to fix it up than it was worth so I'll take the bar and chain off of it and throw it in with the parts saws..

Does that imply it would be recommended to remove it if it has one?

 

[svk]

Yes although they run pretty good even with it.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

...or just replace it with a muffler from an older version of the saw if there is one..
