Does seem a bit neglectful to be a 17 year veteran here and be classed as a peeping tom...
Nice looking Saw Somebody is going to be very happy.

Not saying your wrong, but I’ve been a member of a lot of forums for several years and maybe posted 10 times in them. Just used for how to’s and what not. Pics do seem like something straight off eBay with the background though. Is payment goods and services? If not I’d stay away.

ArboristsSite has been good to/for me. There is always someone trying to help. There is the occasional Schmuck that trips triggers and they sort of single themselves out in time. The conspiracy concept that there is a dishonest person lurking around the corner is always a possibility, but 17 years of membership with no body commenting about any issues with someone speaks a lot. Stands to reason that someone has a busier and less boring lifestyle or just less CAD than trouble makers like me. ArboristSite and other sites tend to point sutel to flag waving fingers if warnings with experience are necessary. A kind of check and balance in its' own manner. So as a manner of asking this "CAD" member wonders why the OP would be selling such a nice saw? Your pic of the serial # is noted.

More info on that serial number:
Product Type: Chain Saws
Model: MS650
Serial Number: 163748093
Date Shipped: 07/11/2005

Date Purchased: 10/24/2008
Registration Date: 03/02/2009

The background is that it belongs to my brother, a toy maker who bought it in 2008. He mills his own lumber and will occasionally get a large log that needs to be cut . It has been used a couple of times a year but mostly sits on the shelf and collects dust.

TOY MAKER could be a thread of its' own..

Did a compression test yesterday, 115 psi.

115 PSI seems real low for these. Maybe not right type of compression checker?

Even stock aftermarket 66 ones here pulling 160psi to 210psi new not broken in.

I would think it should be 150+.

Might be a issue in there if it isnt a faulty gauge. GL

 

[pondnstream]

Thanks for mentioning that , I’ll try and find another gauge . What temp should the saw be when doing a compression test warm or hot ?

It can be cold.

 

[Tml061583]

You need to use a compression tester that has a scrapers valve on the end of the hose that goes into the cylinder. Testing should be done cold.

 

[Matt Schmitt]

I do cold and throttle wide open as that lets most of the air in.

It’s still for sale , MS650, hardly used.

Atmospheric pressure will fill the cylinder just fine from the exhaust port side, no need to crack the throttle.

There is plenty that won`t believe you. Exhaust port wide open and no exploding gases to keep air from entering at a slow turn over rate while pulling the recoil, you betcha air will enter.
