    I’ve been looking for some air tools and stumbled across a local ad while looking for Shindaiwa stuff that was a combo of tools and this 488 chainsaw.
    It is an epa model with the non adjustable carb, but fired right up and seems to run well.
    Swapped out the 16” bar it had for an 18” which I like running on the 488s and 500s.
    Knocked a little dirt off of it and she doesn’t look too bad. [​IMG][​IMG]
    Hopefully I can give it a test run this afternoon.
