In to 2020 I decided I needed a chainsaw to manage the back 1/3 acre of "forest" on my lot.
Picked up a barely used Craftsman cheap ($30), rebuilt the carb with new seals and diaphragms and also the replaced fuel line. Got it running acceptably, and have done a few hours of tree management, and have a few more hours to go. Won't get any more work than a hand full of hours any year.
It's old enough that there is no chain-brake safety bar, but it appears to be a direct copy of a Poulan 2000 with different color shrouds.
Should I expect it to last?
Any usual problems I need to have parts in supply for?
Considering putting on a 16" bar when the current is worn out. Bad idea?
Thanks for any input.
