I still have GREY echo saws that I bought new, two cs8000's with 36" bars have never let me down. A couple of grey top handles and one on a winch.
I bought that years ago for my dad. He was having trouble starting his Husky435 because it doesn't have a decomp button. The recoil wouldn't hold it upright so I took it off. If I remember right, I got it at TSC. https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Good-...e01YL1wfP1pap6Duqu5hB-ZyDIKhBxzMaAjx5EALw_wcB
How do you like that 044? I found one in a warehouse my brother was helping clean out. didn't run great, shop put a new carb on it runs good now, although I am not super impressed with it.
My wife destroyed my man card today...I bought a new saw after work today and she went to the garage to take a look. First thing she said was...It looks small, she took a closer look and said, I thought you would buy a Stihl, FML!
