Now we are talking!!!
I "Was happy with my MS390", until I ran the 262xp that the folks on this site encoraged me to buy at a garage sale.Man I was an idiot to sell that saw!! It didn't cure cancer, it wasn't unstoppable as a freighttrain, but man did it run a 20" with authority!! Just couldn't find the air leak
I had always thought a ported 460 would just be the cats meow for me. Well, that oportunity presented itself when I piped off one night!!! Low and behold, I not only got one built the way I wanted it, bu I got to watch it's development during the build on this site!! That was cool!!
So BY BY 390, sold the 262, and kept my 350, the saw that I started out with. Yup, the first new saw I ever owned!! Couldn't rub two nickles together, wife and I were BROKE at the time!! A buddy talked me into cutting wood for him. Talked the wife and I into going to Attwoods, buing the saw and all I needed on their credit card, getting 10% off and SWORE we could have it paid off in three weeks. THREE DAYS and I gave my wife the CASH to pay that card off!! She doesn't question my tools much anymore!!!
Paid for a 192t, neat saw, I liked the less weight than the 200t and better balance. Ran it a bit, but not really that much, if that makes sense? Really liked that saw!!! Had car problems with it, never could get it to run right. And rather than buy a new carb, I used my bonus from work to buy the highly touted 200t. Now, not all of that was due to this site, I watched a 200t outrun my modded 346xp!!! After running, and COMPLETLY removing trees with JUST THE 200t, I'm sold!!!!
OK, I am rambling now!! Thanks for playing PA, I apreciate it!!!! Pain killers are kicking in hard now!! Should be a fun night!
