Maybe my search abilities are failing, but I didn't notice a thread for good deals on chainsaws. I saw one for tools, but chainsaws are more then just a wrench to this mechanic...
Hoping this will be a thread of celebrating with others and not a bragging thread. I am just overjoyed at the good deals I have found this spring cleaning in Alaska.
First was a ms200t that wouldn't idle right. A reputable shop had diagnosed it with a scored piston. Got it home, cleaned it up, reassembled it and did a compression test. 170psi..... Fueled it and it fired right up. Richened up the L circuit and a touch on the H circuit and it ran great. Best $100 I have ever spent. Sent it to my uncle in Missouri to tear down a barn.
Last night I picked up the next project. No pictures yet due to the dust that needs cleaned off, but it is a Jonsered 2095 that was overheated on a mill. Just so happens I have an extra top end from my other project 2095 (which is running and in the picture). $50 and everything is there but a kill switch, clutch cover, and clutch.... I think.
Anyone else have a good deal to share? Lets hear them!
