Just this past Saturday a friend gave me, in exchange for a few cords of wood, an 039 Stihl that he got new in the 90's. He's taken good care of it, but never worked on it himself. It has been a firewood saw in national forest and farm land primarily cutting oak or locust. I would say on average it has cut 7-10 cords/year. Last year it started giving him some trouble: hard to start and would sometimes randomly cut off during use. So he replaced it a few months ago with an MS362 C-M.
This is a model I have absolutely no prior experience with. I'm pretty sure it's more a consumer saw than a pro saw, but would it be worth working on? I have nothing to lose, but I don't know where to begin either.
Any thoughts, suggestions, experience?
