    I'm wondering if anyone would even be interested in a saw that used to run like a beast but now (or as of 7 years ago) would only run for a minute and then falter & die. I don't have the smarts or wherewithall to fix it. Is this something maybe for parts or a project saw that could go on the classifieds? It still has strong compression. What would I even ask for it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think there would be interest in a saw like that. I probably wouldn’t part it out…it most likely wouldn’t take much to get it back to good health. I am not sure what the market looks like for these. If you wanted it fixed to keep and run, there are probably some fellas on here who could help you out.

    Looks like a nice clean saw. Worth $450 all day long if the piston and cylinder are in good shape.

    I'd be interested in that, when you figure out what you want let me know.

    That's a good looking saw. I enjoy running mine. 70cc's in a 10-10 chassis.

    That’s a very nice saw. It’s worth the time , effort ,and expense to get it running . It’ll put a smile on your face when you hear it running .
