Just another junk chainsaw

Got lucky on the nice parts saw I took in for some labor on a saw.

I could hear the rattle in the muffler. Didnt care myself. Parts are parts to me.

Anyhow #5 is a runner now too. Still need to run all new lines though.

54cc chrome bore. I wouldnt trade these for a 346 5100 260. That how good there are.

That bolt probably keeps the carbon buildup down.

stihls are pouring in :licking::moneybag:. another 028 and a 023 with the common plastic crankcase issue causing it not to oil.
Plus not running right for crap and choke wont pull off like normal.

Dads poulan 3300 54cc he bought new in 1993 is cleaned up and ready for the shelf. Just purrs like a kitten idling forever and turns into a mad hornet.

Will just get it down from time to time to use and keep it going.

Made me smile and feel good about it.

Now to finish that little mac TH 130 I hated with a passion. Bought new in 79-81

Before then cleaned up

Dads 3300 on a tear down I did for him many years ago. av's, intake boot, lines, etc. Normal up keep over the years. Topend always looked great.

I love those little Homelite XL saws. If you have the older version with points find yourself an old style Homelite 25cc or 30cc weedeater or blower and steal the coil, strip the saw down and bolt the coil on and continue on with life, works slick... I have one with a 16" bar, think I got it for $5 and it would cut 2" into a log before it would jam from the chain being sharpened so badly... I need my shop, get all my chainsaws in one place and working... really want to see that old 85CC McCulloch go...

I had one of those for years, but finally ditched it when I bought my 254 Husky. The biggest flaw was the lack of a chain brake; once I upgraded I won't run a saw without one.

I do wish that I had kept the Homelite and hooked it up with a Lewis Winch
Lewis Winch 4 MK2 | Portable Chainsaw Winch | Portable Winch
though.

Used Stihl MS461’s seem to sell for $850. I think the current new price is around $1150.so call it 75 percent of new.

Still trying to figure out new vs used. Lot of money either way, but the Ms271 works hard on the bigger trees and really struggles at milling.

Not around here they dont. 50% of new price and up down on condition. Some more some less.

This saw sold for new for $600 before tax. I just sold it for $350. I like quick sells and not storing saws though. I'm not out after every frigging dollar like some folks are it seems. Like someone would at 850 on a 461 IMHO.
