I picked up 4 saws today all from the same guy. His tree service went out of business in 2010. A 046 mag, a 066 mag, a 087 mag, and a 200t. None have been ran in 10 years. Should I pull jugs off and inspect? Maybe squirt oil down into the bearings? Or just gas and try to fire? I’m new to this and would hate to cause unnecessary damage.

Just finished this one, if you guys are in the mood for some 064 pòrn.
It’s also got a ported 066 jug on it.

That’s sexy.....you just made me order nos oem plastics damn you....
If they pull over smoothly and have good compression, I'd pull the muffler to see what P/C looks like.
If the P/C looks healthy, clean them up , put in some fresh mix and see if they run.
They may run fine, or need sinence
First see if they turn over smoothly and have decent compression, then I'd pull the mufflers and inspect the P/C. If P/C looks bad you may want to pull clutch/flywheel before taking off P/C. As you get parts off clean things up to avoid dropping filth into the case if/when you pull P/C.
If all looks good there clean things up, look over: filters, hoses, intake boot. Clean out what was left in gas and oil tanks, put in some fresh mix/oil. Put a little mix in the plug hole and turn it a few times in case things have dried out inside, then try to fire it up.
You may get lucky and have a bunch of runners with little work. If they won't start, and/or have other problems go from there.
Regardless if they run or not, do a good cleaning, pull flywheel and clutch. Old saws can have a lot of gunk hiding there.
I’d also check pistons and then put some gas in them. Maybe put a splash in the plug hole to get some mix in the chamber and roll it over a few times. Did the guy say they ran when shelved?
yes he said they all ran but the 200t. It has a starter pawl problem that won’t engage. He thought it ran right up to the point that the starter quit working.
Recoil might just be full of sawdust on the 200T.
What did you pay for the saws? Maybe a post in the YOU SUCK!!! thread is warranted.
$300.....for an 088 066 046 and 200t. They don’t look the best but they definitely don’t look the worst. The 200t looks the worst. The 088 looks the best. He just want them gone. With a 41”, 28”, and 24” rollo es bars all in decent shape. Still have a lot of paint on them. Like I said, I doubt I’ll ever get a deal like that again. He had just posted the add like 15 minutes before, and I was 30 miles away headed straight towards him.YOU SUCK!!!
Band and base cut. Timing changed and ports widened. The more I port cylinders, the more they look like they weren’t touched.Nice work and great looking 064!
Is that an early one with the Bosch coil? Coil/flywheel combo?
Looks not too wild of porting, cleaned up nice. Did you widen and or change timing?
What about the muffler?
It deserves a build thread!
