Thank you for the add! I have a question about a saw that I am considering purchasing. It’s a Craftsman 358.36130, 18” 40cc. Not too much info about this model out there, from what I can tell, it dates from about 2003. Here’s the thing: it’s brand new. Never had fuel in it. The seller says it was found when they cleaned out the in-laws storage unit, the thing still has the paper band wrapped around the chain brake. It’s use will be for cleaning up storm damage when that occurs at my home in the middle of the woods (it always happens and my driveway goes about 3/4 of a mile through hardwoods) My main concerns with this era of Craftsman saws is that some have good reputations and others are pure junk. It’s not one of the incredipull models. The carbs are readily available, coil too. I’m thinking it would serve the purpose well, but sitting idle for 18 years without having any fluids in it kind of worries me. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
