That is a terrible deal. Pm me the saw's location and contact information. I'll talk him down then, make him sell it top you
Your 630 will cut circles around the 520sp. Build quality is much better, too. But, for $75 in great running condition, you won't get hurt. Clamshell engine design. I have had trouble trying to seal air leaks at the oiler, but I did have one that ran great. It doesn't fit into my three saw plan. For limbing, I go to the 490 and felling, I use the 920. It was not one of Jonsered's better models.
Yeah that's because they have spent most of their life in a non-starting condition....or already blown up...LOL!! A friend of mine has one and he cut a 2-3" slot in the recoil cover with the rope...many many pulls...seen more of those on the dump than anywhere else... Sorry but the 5XX saws were the absolute low point in the Jonsered story....except the 590 which wasn't really a Jonsered at all....those were pretty darn good!!!
