Want to Sell or trade for quality splitting tool or ? EFCO MT 4000

This a pretty nice 42cc smallish built chainsaw. I don't use it much, mainly because the pull starter is a bit rougher then average and it has quite a bit of compression to pull. My right shoulder is a bit sensitive and I have other saws that are easier on it. It also is cold blooded, seems to take a few minutes to warm up and accelerate smooth. She winds out and rips very good after a good warm up. If you have a good shoulder it should serve you well using it on longer run times. Pics are from a year or so ago, but it has changed very little other then I put a new 14" picco bar and chain on it and used it little afterward. If buyer rather go to 16" I have a new b&c optional. $125 for power head an 1 Bar and chain, I will chip in $10 on shipping , buyer pays any above.

Low hour saw here, would make a good porting project. I expect the cold blooded nature I mentioned would be eliminated with a better or bigger carb. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me porting normally makes compression feel less when pull starting.
I would take a fiskars splitting axe in on a partial trade. Looking for the original design in excellent condition. I don't like the new long handled version. Or may be an Big Ox splitting maul from Ochsenkpof or Stihl .

Porting generally is aiming at improving flow rates and increasing compression. That means you would likely feel more effort is required to start the saw

The reward is MUCH more power, when done right, anyways

Edited title, originally listed it as an MT 4200. Cut about 1/2 a face cord with it yesterday and noticed its MT 4000.
Still runs and cuts, idles fine after its little cold blooded fit . You can run and idle and set your choke where you want which makes the warm up easier. I think these were $250 to $300 new .

I still have it, freshened the gas and started it the other day. No problems, started, idles accelerates fine. Lowered price to $110 + shipping. I also have a nice moderately used Jonsered 2141 w/18" .325 b&c. Its a little beefier saw, runs excellent, $160 +shipping.
