Picked up a 254xp today

[sunfish]

Local Pawn Shop find. Pretty clean saw, not beat up too bad. New bar and chain. Comp feels good, runs but not good, acts like a carb problem, H screw all the way in. Will get into it tomorrow and see what's up.

Anybody else got one? How's it cut? Mods? :msp_unsure: :msp_smile:

Man Don, your really racking up!!

Looking at your signature, wasn't you the one that said you'd never have use for a 70cc saw? Its addictive eh?

Just gouging ya, Ive herd the 254s are real runners.

The 254 has a very good reputation, if it is in order! :msp_biggrin:

Yep, needs to be in order.

Forgot to ask - when was the saw made (or post the numbers on the plate)?

Looks to be clean and in great shape, spend a little on it and have a lot!!! Local pawn shops here are magnets for 025's and 029's.

I envy you guys, Only thing I can find in pawn shops is wore out homeowner saws....and there the same price as a new one.

Thank you, my friend. Well, it's in good shape for it's age. Bet it was just a local firewood saw.

Sounds like a horror story!

It surely looks good - I assumed it was newer, based on the looks.
