    They're hard to find!!! The guy I bought this one off of had two, I bought the more complete saw, the other was missing all kinds of parts. It sold almost instantly on ebay for $345.00, which if you look around, was a good deal for a rebuildable engine. I should've bought them both. I spent a lot more on the complete one! It was a gamble for sure, but now that the piston is free and I got NOS parts for the internals, it was worth the gamble.....

    It's already shredded to pieces. Let's build it, break it in and tear it back down for paint! Ha!

    The Echo CST610-EVL/Deere 66SV uses a similar opposes piston concept to the same purpose, reducing vibration.

    I LOVE that marketing piece Redfin posted. It uses "trouble-free" and "breaker points" in the same sentence! :rofl: :lol::doh:
