85cc Poulan CounterVibe.

Chrome looks good. Don't even see any evidence of aluminum transfer, so the piston was likely good too. The pin is a press fit on these saws, and he was surely too stupid to remove it property. Bet he either left the piston on the rod......or destroyed it trying to remove it. My money is on the latter...

In his FHC saw sale clusterfuck thread, he posted a VERY dark pic of a complete looking 6900-8500 CounterVibe saw. Was so dark that I had to mess with the pic quite a bit in order to be able to make out what saw was pictured.

*pretty boy never answered my inquiries about the saw........and a year later this butchered cylinder was in the lot of jugs that he sent Clint. I'm thinking that he junked the saw and this cylinder is all that remains. What a shame. There was a treasure trove of NLA parts (including a full wrap handlebar). Jackass.......

Agreed, what a waste.
Maybe the jug can be salvaged by forming epoxy webs back into the ports.

If they were his parts then he was free to do with them whatever he liked...he's not free to rip anyone off but the man can't be slammed for doing what he wished with his own property.

I had a guy come by the shop at night once with a pristine Danarm "Hi-Baller." He knew I wanted it as I was buying old two-man saws as fast as I could at the time. I knew the guy- he was local and known to have a prolific drug habit. He wanted $500 cash for it and it was worth every bit of double that (it had a 72" bar, original helper handle, and 3/4" pitch square-chisel chain). I couldn't get the cash that night because my place was a long way from any bank. He said "If you don't got the cash, then you don't got the saw" and left. The next morning he sold it at the scrapyard for $150 and they crushed it into scrap.

JJ,

He may have every right to do with parts as he wishes, but he should still be informed of his propensity for being a jackwagon.

JJ did you read his saw and parts sale threads on FHC?

This screwball made "I just sold a few of those for $50" type posts in other guys threads (IIRC, he was referring to Mac 797's). He then started his own threads where he posted pics (crappy pics mostly) of a bunch of saws (that may or may not have been his to sell) in an old shop, and then strung folks along or outright ignored them. Got him banned from the site eventually.

Come on man.....you know me better than that.

And as for guys like VF and that junkie with the Danarm..........well they are certainly free to do what they want with their stuff.............but at the same time, we are free to slam them afterwards for doing stupid/wasteful things wif it. Our free speach rights are as important as their private property rights...
