Timing is Everything when You're Cheap and have CAD

Grab it. We'll go cutting with 500, 400, 034's in tandem. Gonna have to be a big score though as thats a lot of chain saw.

 

We’ll call you the synchronized sawyers

 

I’ve heard a few different stories on the red lever. Some saws had the red lever during their first couple years of production. I don’t believe the red lever meant the saw was hot out of the box, but many early Stihls of that era had better port timing before they were handicapped by the epa a few years later. From what I’ve seen, it may or may not run better than a black lever saw, but it probably doesn’t run worse

 

You stole it Brad! I have 2 red lever 034's. One is a super. Great reliable firewood saw.

 

That’s the golden price. I hardly pay more than that for any used saw

 

Thanks for your input guys. Appreciate the knowledge and wisdom.

 

I was wondering if this was a Mike price or not.

 

Well night off last night.
No update .

It's certainly not going anywhere.

 

I came across the 288xp similar to that. Needed crank seals and a piston. Paid $75.00

 

Have the father in laws old saw now. Served him well for many years. Bought brand new and was the one saw in his one saw show for the majority of those years. Cut at least 10 face cord a year to heat his home. Sometimes more but never less. Only time it gets used now is cutting firewood for myself in the woods where we used to cut.
