I would be a little leary of these numbers. May have a scored cylinder, or just simply worn rings. How many bars have been on this saw?What is the clutch drive pulley like?When was the saw run last? When was the last time it had a new air filter and gas filter changed?Iff the owner cannot answer these questions right off I would look around. That is My opinion, Ken
