Hey All.
I may acquire a Husqvarna 162 SE from my employer. It has sat unused for over 10 years. Yesterday at lunch I got it running. Just put a little fuel in, primed the carb and 2 pulls its running. We initially thought it was toast.
How much would one be willing to pay for this saw?
I was thinking $40?
Is it worth messing with?
Visually its not too pretty (likely been run in pine and spruce its whole life and maybe some wildland fire use) and missing B&C but with a little TLC it seems like it could be a good running back-up saw for me.
Haven't checked compression but seems to run strong.
Thoughts?
