I know guys have done that, and it sure makes sense. This saw will be for sale so I’ll leave it alone. I’ve had a lot of them too. This was the only one right now. I took it out for a rip today and it runs great. Others made top handles, Stihl has had some great ones, echo too. For the money the micro and S25 are hard to beat. Well made simple to repair. Those are the only 3 I’d consider.
Plug away and good luck!! I have two already , otherwise!!!!!.........
. It turned out to be good in the end. It definitely had a couple minor issues. Compression was good, P&C looked great. Someone did paint the chassis, no big deal, looks ok. One of the lower mounts wasn’t installed correctly, fixed that. It came with a 20” .325 B&C while the saw still had the original 3/8 rim sprocket 
.Replaced the rim just in case and put a 20” 3/8 B&C I had. Replaced the 2 shoe clutch with the 3 shoe that came on them. The recoil wasn’t right. They had the 380 flywheel on it and stuck the 335 recoil on it 
. That doesn’t work. I put a flywheel and recoil from a 336 I had. Saw wouldn’t start, not a pop. Checked, no ignition, checked switch not that, no biggie I got another module. Went to replace the module found they pinched the kill wire under the ground wire when they put the module back in from painting. So apparently they never ran it after all the work.
