Pawn shop score. Think I did ok?

[juttree]

I saw an add in Craig's list today for a 390xp for $250, it had one bad picture and no description other than it leaks bar oil. I called and it ended up being a little hole in the wall pawn shop so I took the ride and got the saw for $200. It's dirty as he'll but will clean up ok. It also has a dented muffler and one stripped screw for the brake handle but the p/c look perfectly fine but a little low on compression at 140. Also, the oil leak was just a messed up oil cap.

Also forgot to mention, it came with a 24" bar and chain that weren't in too bad of shape.

It looks like hell right now but, you did good!

My 390 looked worse than that when I got it and it looks pretty decent now. I'd get a ring in it and check the decomp... Mine was crusty.....

Ya this thing is pretty crustified right now but plastics are easy to change if I really cared about looks. Most of my saws are pretty roughed up but run real good.

[juttree]

To be honest, I never ran a 390 but usually hear nothing but good stuff about them.

you suck!

Now I know I did ok.

retune that saw to some good 32:1 and then test the comp it should come up some.

I'm gonna tear it completely down, do a nice and easy rings and seals rebuild, clean everything up, and maybe even put one of those XP decals on it for the bump in Hp, then probably sell it. I have a hard time letting go of saws though.

add a magnum sticker if you want power i recommend caber rings.

Those are exactly my plans for my 390..... Except the selling it part, of course.

I have a feeling it's gonna be hard to let it go after I'm done. Now to think of a good reason to tell the wife why I need another saw.

It's best not to go the "I NEED IT" route... Just embrace being a collector
