Looking for a new Chainsaw to purchase....need advice

[aaarneson]

Or a Husky 365 with several parts, chains, bars, etc. for $320...and it is about 10 years old.

Unless you know what to look for, if you buy used you could end up right back where you are now.

Yes heat heat could cause the scoring, but so could others things. The early 353 had a plastic intake boot clamp that could fail and cause an air leak. If it has an old boot clamp replace it. Any saw tostad that comes my way gets a vacuum/pressure test to make sure she's tight.

Andy...Where Can I get the replacement boot clamp?

Quite a few online places to order from like parts tree, local dealers is always am option, or contact member Spike60. Check your saw out first, only the early saws had the plastic setup.

If you're still looking I'd tell you to jump on that 362c for $375. There is no replacement for displacement, it'll make a great firewood saw.
But don't stop there, as others have said look into fixing up that 353 for limbing and smaller wood.
