What can you tell me about this old Craftsman saw? Pic warning.

One of my friends is offering me this saw. He sent it home with me and told me to research it. I know NOTHING about it except that it will have to have a new air filter. And the full chisel chain isn't sharpened properly which is why the saw is so dusty. It does have anti-vibe of some sort but DOES NOT have a chain break.

that its a great saw made by Poulan...

With a manual oiler too. I may pull the muffler after luch and look at the piston.

 

[stubnail67]

yes pull the muffler to see if its good to fix or parts

 

[ANewSawyer]

Mainly I am worried about parts availablity. Specifically carb a fuel line related parts.

Great saw, same as the Poulan 3700.

Carb kits on Ebay cheap. Parts aren't too tough to find.

[stubnail67]

What displacement or HP is this saw? I want a larger saw than my husky 435.

Thanks Harley. Why don't I see an outlet from the muffler?

 

[HarleyT]

Slits in the side of #19

 

[blk05crew]

It's 61 cc's.

 

[ANewSawyer]

Ok fuel line looks intact. I am going to pour some 32:1 in her and try to start her. After I pull the muffler though.

 

[ANewSawyer]

That is if I can GET the muffler off. Lol!

 

[ANewSawyer]

She's a runner. No need to pull the muffler. A little bog when I hit the throttle but nothing that won't adjust out. How much should I pay the man?

Well I've seen ones on CL lately for $60-$175. In that condition at least $100-$125 I would think is fair. It's a nice 61cc saw.

 

[ANewSawyer]

I was thinking about $120. The only thing I haven't verified is that it oils. I don't know why it wouldn't but it can't hurt to check. It is supposed to be a automatic and manual oiler. Can I just look for spray off the bar?

Also, I was not successful in getting the muffler apart. I looks like the bolts come out then the muffler should split in half. The back half should be screwed to the engine. Maybe there is carbon build up holding it together. IDK.
