Awesome advice GoBigRed! And i find it peaceful and fun too so farThings to look for are the cover for the choke and air filter. And making sure the air filter cage is present and in tact. They can be a pain to find but not expensive when they show up.
Once you get them home they seem a little odd to get to the engine but watch one of Leon’s videos and it isn’t too bad. At the very least I’m sure you can make one good saw from the two. It’s just a good little saw with plenty of power for limbing or even a decent little camp saw.
The other thing to look at is the fuel cap. If the cap has a primer bulb on it you want to ensure it works. Those are not easy to find and are kinda expensive (relatively speaking) for what they are. I like the ones that have the primer on the bar side of the saw, but there are different configurations. They made one that had oil flow control on that side. That is the one I had but converted it to a primer bulb instead.
And don’t worry about the bars. If you get in this game you will start learning how to modify and make bars fit your saw. Right now I have a bar from a Stihl ms170 on my super 2 homelite and just had to make a small spacer.
Saws are just cool. I can’t explain it but there is nothing more peaceful than going in the garage, playing some music, and working on a machine. Enjoy the ride. I’ve found that saw repair just gets better and better.
We stayed near deadwood last night and while they are getting ready I’ll reply. But yes, it’s good to be hanging out with the lads for a great trip. At least so farAnd BTW none of us ever have to apologize for being busy with our kids GoBigRed. They are WAY more important than our toys we talk about on here!! Hope you enjoyed the trip with your kids bud!

I’m not very tech savvy either. In fact, I was probably born 100 years too late.And btw it could be me doin something to make the posts messed up? Im not really tech savy. Lol
