    Seen an ad for a complete 031 and a parts unit also. I met the guy at the Walmart lot and did the deal. The one together will start but not rev , I'm thinking condensor. Let's see if the pics work from my new fangled iPhone.

    You don't want to get too hooked on those. Ignition issues and gas tank leakage were my biggest problems. I wanted to have saws with brakes too for regular runners.

    I'm not a fan but I do pass them to those that do like them.

    Only 2 so far and both about like this last one that was a great runner.

    The other one had the common issue with running 30mins get hot shut down till cool and restart.

    I have an otherwise nice 031 with a leaky gas tank. How do you fix it?
