Good shops, Bad shops
Amen to some small engine/dealer shops ripping people off. I bought an s-10 pickup truck load of saws and parts saws that came from a saw dealer/lawn mower equipment etc Co.I gave a guy ten dollars for the load....he had gotten the saws from the company. They had stripped a bunch of the saws to use parts on other customers and had probably gotten them via need a new saw sir.
Out of the load I got a Stihl 025 minus the bar and chain and I cleaned the carb and it runs like new. Maybe the mechanics didn't know what the heck was going on but they were a orange saw dealer. I got an Echo 650 and cleaned the carb and it runs good. I got a 55 Rancher even got the bar and chain with it then cleaned the carb and wala....they had robbed some from it but I had several parts saws so I was able to combine them. There was a Mc. Timber Bear in the pile not missing anything...carb clean, fuel filter and that was it and it runs like a big dog. My wife works for a company that needed a new weedeater and self propelled lawn mower. The weedeater was a Kawasaki and only several years old...commercial grade. They said it was not worth repairing and gave them a 75 dollar trade in on a new one. I'll bet the carb was stopped up but the wife didn't know about all of this until it was over with. We must be careful who we deal with. Your a smart guy for coming on here and asking about your saw. When ever I need to buy something that I don't really know anything about I find someone that does know about it and research on the internet like you have. I have a 82 model 028 Super and have only put fuel an oil in it since I had it. It needs a new sprocket, bar, and chain, but it still works. Take care all, FullCry
