Gents, I have 'opportunity' to take possesion of a somewhat whooped on 543xp. It's rough and not making much air. Ex side of piston looks fine but I'm only seeing ~50lbs on the guage. It's got a broken flag, bent handle and the on off switch is wonky. Does make spark. No joy with some gas down the plug hole.

Is it worth any time/money to try to revive one? It's free to me.

I found a Husky 136 at the dump missing the clutch cover, recoil and has a scored piston and possibly some scoring on the cylinder, but found it worthy to bring home and revive. I figured if anything it could be the "loner" saw when someone comes and asks to borrow one! :D

I probably have some parts for you if you get me a list or maybe you can have the whole box

Further teardown revealed a broken case at the flywheel side where flag attaches. No go. It was either dropped from a bucket, or run over.
