I'm a thief.

I\'m a thief.

I saw this today for sale (Private party) in a local ad. The saw came with the original gallon of oil he bought with the saw. The jug is almost full. I won't get into the details why he was selling it (personal reasons). The asking price was $100.00. I just gave it to him. The saw, Stihl MS 210 C is 1 1/2 years old. The original chain was replaced because the guy didn't like the way it didn't cut (safety kick-back chain). It has never been sharpened according to the seller and looks it. The saw was used to clear some small trees and brush from the backyard of a new house purchase. I "was" in need of a smaller ground limb saw. I really feel like a crook now . Yes, the saw runs great and cuts nicely.

Re: I\'m a thief.

I got to take the new Stihl out today for a good test run. After setting the carb mixture correctly, running way too rich. I cut down a dozen small trees and made firewood out of them. The saw is a definite keeper. The Stihl puts my other two small saws to shame. So long old Homelite Super II and the new Poulan that I just bought and don't like. Hello Stihl /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Great find! I have a Poulan Pro and haven't really had any trouble with it. What is it you do not like about yours?

You are not a thief, just a knowledgable consumer /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I bought the smallest Poulan made for a trimming saw. It is hard starting when cold, even with the primer bulb. It is not a vibration free saw. I was in dire need for a cheap saw and couldn't afford a more expensive one at the time. It did serve its purpose for what I needed to get done.

Hi Jim, nice find. Just remember when setting the carb. to not lean it out too much. Once you get it set to run the fastest, richen it up a little.
