I know not technically a chainsaw, but it's engine is bigger than some of them!
Picked up this fs500 clearing saw last week, been sat for 10 some years with a broken clutch.
I didn't take any pictures of the strip down (sorry) as I was too excited to get it running. Piston and cylinder are absolutely spotless, still has machining marks on the piston. Picked up a NOS clutch assy off the bay of 'E' rebuilt the carb and filled it with 32:1 saber mix and she fired up. Bit of carb tuning and all I can say is wow!! What a beast!!
I'm thinking of ordering a brush destructor for it, http://brushdestructor.com/ as This will more than suit my needs.
Picked it up for £80, I'm thinking I did pretty darn good?
