There are many YouTube videos of plastic welding, some are even helpful.

A local guy dropped off a couple of saws today, says they haven't been run in a while...



The 262 seems to have great compression, the 36 not so much. His idea is I get the running and he will sell them. Just curious about the value of these all cleaned up and fully operational before I put the time and effort into them.

If the 262 cleans up well and runs good, maybe $400. For me the 36 would go in the trash, but I’m sure someone will disagree.

$100, all fixed up on the 36. They make great little camp saws
I paid $500 for a pair of 262 project saws. both "ran" but needed...still do...a lot of work and a few parts. They got back-burnered

 

[heimannm]

Update and hoping for more input...the 36 has about 125 PSI compression and O.K. spark. Slight score on the piston is visible through the exhaust.

The 262 has 150 PSI compression and good spark. Piston looks good through the exhaust port.

I expect it would be 2-3 hours to tear the 262 down for a thorough cleaning and inspection, replace the lines, carburetor kit, other bits as needed.

It might be possible to sell the saw locally for $300 but frankly, I don't have many folks looking for "bigger" saws around here, most want smaller and lighter.

I'm thinking of offering him $150 for the pair as is and go from there.

Am I off base???

I don’t think you are off base unless you are wanting to work for free.

 

[heimannm]

I already do a lot of that...

If the 262 has a good oe carb, I'd go $200 for the pair.

The owner of the saws is downsizing and moving off the acreage so he no longer needs the saws, but needed a leaf blower instead. I happen to have a very low hour Stihl BG50 available, we will make the trade.

Is the carb an 81 attached to a KS cylinder? If so, my stock 262 was 170psi and I only ran it for 20 years and sold it for $500. I would give him $200 for it, if it's a KS, clean it, new ring, vacuum check, open muffler and pop can gasket.
