ShearHeadMS did you get your fill of boat anchor saws yet?
Good old chainsaws wanted
- Thread starter ShearHeadMS
- Start date
If you need small old trim saws. I have some I took in.
If you are into Homelite's these might be right up your alley. Trade me something or make a offer in PM.
I'm just not into getting into another saw brand.
XL was traded in by original owner. Got this one running and cut with it for some test cuts. Might need a carb kit down the road but was able to start it normally after carb adjustments. Just needed carb adjusted for now. Primer bulb is cracked all over on top of the fuel cap, but is not needed. 2 Jackson's
XL2 came in from a friend with red case and paper work where bought new. Metal cased bought new in 1980. The duck bill checks out in fuel tank. Runs on mix squirt down carb for as long as you feed it.
Just needs carb kit, fuel line. Since I can squirt mix in carb to start and keep running as I squirt mix in. Diaphragm is stiff and wont draw fuel. Mise well replace other lines while your at it.
I tore it down to see if I was right on carb kit. Yep. Not putting back together, just boxing and shelving it. 1 Jackson

I have 3 old McCullough's, various stages of disrepair. 2.0 engines w/16" bars (3) different models. Pay the shipping and they are yours. Soon they and some other derelict small engine stuff are going to the recycler. When you have to pay $200 for a part for an item you can buy new at $300 they get shoved out by the new.

I just gave away my old 1992 Stihl and a Craftsman, because I can no longer use them with an ICD implant (defib plus pacemaker). We use 18v B&D ones now and hire anyone to do bigger stuff.

I am a sucker for older chainsaws on CraigsList. I picked up this Poulan 4000 Professional
for $50 a few weeks ago. Not running, but it is a pro saw with 2 piston rings. Old
enough to be mostly magnesium instead of plastic, yet new enough to have electronic
ignition. This one is an '87 model with 24" bar and 65ccs, manual oiler, and no chain brake.
After a full rebuild, it runs great.
