You serious?

As a heart attack !

Stay away is my take on them. Junk imo.

If there junk you just buy when you findnthem and send to me for the SAFTY of everyone around you!

I don't think they really need the decomp.
This air filter comes with the base:

I saw.that and a bunch of goodies I'll be ordering Friday.

A little mickey mouse trick I've found on these for the impulse grommet/seal is that they take on a set with a bit of a taper, so flip it around and it fits nice and tight again.
Sometimes works to a lesser degree on the intake manifold/spigot sleeve also.

I know, they're cheap, just replace 'em...

I see what you mean in that aspect I have one as a personal I really like that saw I've had it 15 years and has been damn good They aren't worth a barrel of money though

 

[Dub11]

I have no problem flipping saws. Off the back of my truck lol

 

[jakethesnake]

I think if mine took a *s-word I'd fix it

 

[Motorhead]

I like my old saws cause new ones is too spencive.

 

[jakethesnake]

Ain't they

 

[jake wells]

i see you guys have been busy i have been at work all day.

 

[Stump Shot]

I hear what you guys are saying about selling these, profit on this one $5.00, but when it comes back for service, that's where some money can be made. Excellent saw for a do it yourself kinda guy though, in that respect them being cheap and easy to find with excellent parts availability is now a positive instead of a negative.

Jake, the anti-vibes on these are not like their 2xx series cousins, and require replacement from time to time. That and the aforementioned intake is about the only thing troublesome on these. They are a fairly mechanic friendly saw to work on. Mods can be done just as much or little as the Pro saws do. As far as parts go, was able to do a one stop shop at HL Supply for everything needed to rebuild one of these saws. As said before the air dam/plastic intake can be repaired by one of numerous ways if you have trouble with it. HL Supply has good rubber intake and impulse parts for this and I recommend changing them. Other than that, have fun with your build and let us know how your doing with it. SS

do the av buffers require a service tool to change the mounts?
