Not gonna pay much for a piece of crap saw:greenchainsaw: I'm rationalizing this by saying I'm buying some fun, not a chainsaw, lol

Hehehe. One side of me would much rather go buy a Redmax GZ4500. But where would the fun be in starting with a better saw

What else is in that "barn"???

 

[lawnmowertech37]

Good way to look at it is its the only purple side bar cover around that gives me a idea paint some of these side bar covers half pink and purple

How much will you pay me to take one of them off your hands?

Ive been following the wild thing races thread pretty good. Sound like alot of fun, I may just have to expierment with one my self although i dont know much about them.

Im sure you guys have thought of this, but I can find wild things in pawn shops around here for about 50 to 80 bucks. Dont know what there worth.... never really cared till now, now that you guys got me interested in one.

There's not really that much to know about them they are simple as falling asleep.
You've GOT to squeeze the trigger and pop the throttle linkage out before the carb will come off.
The little "worm gear" that drives the oil pump is the biggest P.I.T.A. I've encountered so far but you won't have to deal with it if your bearings and seals are good.
Have a T-25 and a T-27 handy, Poulan isn't advanced enough for one size fits all yet.
All that I've taken apart so far have had the plastic transfer bridges Light (color) on right, Dark (4 letters) on left (4 letters) and I've heard that they need to go back like they came out. (Pay attention as the above rule might not be the case with your saw)

Andre's saw is standard configuration while mine are strato, both types seem to run pretty strong. Standard may be easier to work on but I don't see how.

Any questions just holler, I'm sure someone here will be able to help.
