I bought a mac 4600 for the blade brake and other parts to fit my mac 4900 the seller claimed it had no spark so i thought $9.99 wasn't bad to get a $39.00 part that might not fit so i got it today and it RAN!!! no spark my asss now i got two saw's ;)

Mac 4600 with mac 16" bar and Oregon 33sl chain

...some days you get the diamond, some days you get the stone. Good find, I love a real bargain, you can't beat free but 10 bucks is pretty close for a running saw.
 
Glad to hear you got a good deal. Thats the way it is supose to work..lol. :D ... But I am sure you can deal with future problems like this and it is what I Consider a good problem.

now have:

Pro Mac 610 ( 60cc) 20" Oregon bar and chain
Needs Starter and blade brake internals

not bad for $7.00 at good will ;)
 
It pays to read those sellers descriptions pretty carefully. some of them have no idea what they have for sale. I have acquired a number of E-bay saws that turned into runners with minor tinkering. I'm a bottom feeder/collector.
 
AMEN, the last two saws that I bought from Ebay sellers I took a chance on because they either would not start or stay running, usually a broken fuel line or something simple wrong. They both are good runners...
