Big thanks to ATPCHAS

Big thanks for the Christmas giving that I received in the mail from ATPCHAS. :biggrinbounce2: I've got some projects each needing a carb and plan to use the ones that ATPCHAS sent me. Thanks Jon

Stihl 08s

Christmas time is here...and I am feeling generous toward my fellow AS members.

I have a Stihl 08s that I acquired in a lot of saws. My intention was to do a complete restore / rebuild. I stripped off the previous botched paint job of the larger components -- starter housing, handle and oil tank / clutch cover are down to bare metal. I cannot seem to find the time to complete this project. The saw ran before I dissembled and was reasonably complete. This is for a power head only and would be shipped with many of the smaller parts in sour cream and / or cool whip tubs.

My preference is to pass along to someone who is genuinely interested in restoring the saw and perhaps posting a thread on AS to document. Cover the shipping cost from 48085 and it is yours. PM me if you are interested.

Merry Christmas!

Homelite XL

See that Homelite XL there?


Could be yours for the shipping. Has spark and compression, could just need fuel lines. Dumped mix in the cylinder and it popped on one pull.

[chainsawwhisperer]

Would a Homelite/Craftsman 3.7/18 interest you at some point when you have nothing else to do?

What's the deal with this saw? Do you still have it?

Jim < I THOUGHT I directed that @ Aaron, didn't I?? oke:

I had a buddyhere express some interest, but i don't think he has the capabilities to fix it (well...he could ask ME! lol)

i'll take a peek and see what it is... maybe a pic or two??

Make sure you get the right guy this time! I'm still not through with the nice Lombard I got from you last year...

And now I have some P-28s I couldn't pass up, thanks ModifiedMark!

The new kid's starting to sleep through the night, so maybe my wife will start letting me down in the basement soon...

What, only you and Aaron get to celebrate the joy of the Christmas thread? The Christmas thread is for all to enjoy...you big Grinch! lol
Yes, I might be intrested in the saw depending on what it's based on,
If the saw is still available and no one else has expressed intrest.
Will you get me some info or just tell me to sod off, either ones OK with me:greenchainsaw:

Why are you asking questions you know the answer to?? oke: :jester: It's still close to Halloween, right? BAAAA humbug. lol, j/k.

SOD??

I think it's Roper-built (I knowNOTHING about these
it's in good shape...just too many others...keeps getting moved around.

I did some work on one of those a couple of months ago, seemed well built...just a little weird.

It does seem well built (for the amount i've been into it...) what was weird?

Thanks Jay. I would like to see a pic or two so we know for sure if it's a Poulan, Roper, or whatever. I've got too many other irons in the fire for me to want to mess with yet another saw family. Besides.....Jim's pouting in the corner. Send it his way. He can experience the Christmas Thread Joy then too...

No Christmas thread joy for you Jim. Neener neener neener!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

That's how I'd describe the Ropers Jim. They're like the bigger, heavier AMC (American Motors Corporation.....think Gremlin/Pacer/Javelin/Rambler) version of a Homelite XL12. The styling is a bit off, but they're well made and stout. Fine old North American saws.:agree2:


Oh, and as far as the word SOD is concerned Jay....................from my experience it's mostly a 'commonwealth' (meaning England, Australia, etc) thing. It's a "cleaner" word used in place of "screw", "bugger", or #### in phrases like what Jim wrote above^^^.:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Eccentric]

Aaron, your parts are in the mail. I sent them about an hour ago.

Received the parts box yesterday Chris. Thanks a bunch! Got home from work at 1:00AM and the box was waiting for me. Early Christmas...

Those parts will all come in handy.:yourock:

 

[chainsawwhisperer]

Besides.....Jim's pouting in the corner. Send it his way. He can experience the Christmas Thread Joy then too...

BBBAAAAAA I'M NOT POUTING! BBBBAAAAA

No Christmas thread joy for you Jim. Neener neener neener!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

Coal for you.

Now that's funny!


I think I'll stand down on the Roper, and continue to search for 80+ cc Jen Feng saws. lol

Stihl 08s -- Update

The Stihl 08s is awaiting confirmation from the first PM responder. If they decline, I will move down the list in order of time received. Thanks for all the responses.

Cool offer rep when I get some reloaded.

Thanks for the kind words and rep. I have gotten or used all I could from the lot of saws, and knew full well I would never get around to completing this project. Thought it better to pass along to a fellow AS member that would appreciate it and bring it back to life. What better time than Christmas to pay it forward.
