And I'm sorry that I inflamed this thread. But I know what I know. A 351 with unknown history and a 346 top end is not a 500 cad saw in these parts. 300-350, as verified by another member here. Like here in Canada that is.
the 5000 plus is a superlative saw. Yup, few parts available. I agree. Unless you've run one you wouldn't understand.
anyway, it's been fun. I gotta clean some deadfall off a trail right now. I'm gonna bring one of my jonny 590's and my jonny 2152. Gassed up, sharpened, and ready to go.
see yous later
