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

Re: I\'m a thief.

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.

Re: I\'m a thief.

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.
