That 034 AV looks like it would cut to the right with that monster pull handle weighing down the left. 
Old powersharp crap didnt work.Do those chain sharpeners actually work? I had a saw maybe 40 years ago with one and it didn't do squat...never really made it very sharp, and it "sharpened" lopsided so the saw cut on an arc. Think it needed a special chain too. Yanked that assembly right off and got a normal chain.
I personally dislike spring assist starters aka a weak link. This body builder owner had no clue it was even on his saw. He sure dont need it.
Going to talk to him about going to standard recoil cover and pulley. About the same dang cost of replacing the spring assist parts.

The guy who does custom sawing down the road from me uses an electric Echo around the mill. It's a lot quicker and more convenient than using a gas saw. I've been thinking about one to carry in the truck for moving trees out of the road. Rather than bouncing around in the back getting rained and snowed on, I can have it under the seat.I got fed up with my gas powered chainsaw spending more time in the shop than actually cutting wood. On a whim I picked up an Ecco 58v cordless. 16" bar and surprisingly effective. I lost a tree to the 'great freeze' this winter in Texas. I was able to process the whole tree (about 20" diameter and 25' high) with that saw. It took a couple of charges to get it all done, but I have two batteries. The battery also works on other things like the weed wacker. I am not especially 'green' but for someone like me who does not have the time or expertise for fixing small gas engines, this has been a good deal.
