Why stock, even rare?
If you have done that many, you got it down already. There ain't no more "new frontiers" just repairing old junk, so time to go ultra custom, just like car gear heads, the guys who build a car starting with welding up their own tubular frames. You are obviously wanting to expand your engineering knowledge. So..build one from scratch, start with a two stroke motorcycle engine, say around a 90 or 125..... make you a manly man saw.....

I thought about it a lot. hardest part would be the bar oiler. have to come up with an external small PTO, or just go to an old school oil reservoir and pushbutton squirter system. that can be mounted anywhere. Centrifugal clutch and sprocket//pfft, all over in karts and minibikes and mopeds. Sprocket to run a chain, more pfft.....Frame and handle, some nice *metal*, it's gonna be heavy anyway so who cares....
It'll be a torque monster for sure, no more of that having to ease off in the cut when she bogs down, you can manly man ir right on down, get yore money's worth... I've seen that in a lot of videos here, even the ported jobs, you can see them start to bog for a sec and the operator gotta ease off a scosh...ya, they turn fast, but someone else made them.....you need your own made by you saw..then you can add custom stickers and paint, etc

More Foreign Flair?
Well how about something with some Italian Flair like an Olympyk? Or maybe some Oriental influence with more size than a 302 and spelled funny like a Shindaiwa, Makes You maybe want to take it fishing with You!:hmm3grin2orange:

Cliff, if he hadn't lied about the 8500 he could have had one of these like you got....

So much for choosing my 20 th saw....it sorta happened by itself.
I had an 8 saw day today..and possibly a 9 saw day.
I got a Mac 10-10, a 163 pm, a Homelite Xl-12 blue, a Dolmar 122s and a 112 some little crappy Homelite....then a Poulan Micro and a Husky 45 and then there is the Write Recip that I havent commited to yet....
Combined cost 80 bucks I guess sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.

great score. nice thread. so now you're lookin at your 30th saw.
i recommend an Oly like previously recommended by Kennygee. either:
- 264, 264 deluxe, 264f, 264f deluxe - 60cc
- 272f - 67cc
- 284, 284f, 284mfp - 81cc
these are incredibly simple yet hardy professional saws that will run forever.
