Have him buy a brand new 461. When that burns up it'll sting a bit more and he'll learn. Give a man a fish.....

Does he put oil in his gas? Mix 100:1? He is doing something wrong!

Piss reving it's an addiction.
And has terrible consequences.

Husky 350s have an air leak problem with the manifold clamp being the culpret and they throw muffler bolts leading to lean issues and burned up plastic.

But you could get a slightly roached 350 for cheap, throw on a 346xp P/C from Spike 60, new metal clamp, muffler bracket, gasket delete, muffler mod, and follow MattyO's videoes to put together because there are some tricks to it, and the saw is a very, very strong saw for cheap. I have done two of them and am way happy.

To be honest I've ran several of these clones of the zenoah designs i guess? the earthquakes blue maxes etc. I have friends who have had them for years for firewood 100-150 bucks seems like a good deal to me.

While reading some posts and it's on my mind, and @Jimmy in NC could verify or not...this guy fellas could just be one of those type of folks who just kinda sorta lingers right at the edge and stays 'spring loaded in the *f-word up position' at all times. We've all seen and been around those types, lol.

Put this guy in a perfectly round room for 15 minutes with nothing but an anvil and a stick of butter. He might be able to break the anvil with the butter and manage to loose the butter all at the same time. I work with this type of guy x5 everyday. Nothing surprises me anymore. However when they drop things off for me to fix that they broke I find some of it truly impressive as to how they can jack that much stuff up while trying to conquer a simple task. Also wild thing with a file x2.

I hear ya...they could give a rats' ass less...it ain't costing them dick.

As much as I hate to say it, send him to Lowes or Home Depot to buy a cheap saw and buy the extended warranty. Let him trash that garbage all he wants instead of ruining perfectly good saws.

Dumb question,

Have you offered to run some saws with him?

Best gift you could give him is showing him what he's doing wrong.

The old "Teach a man to fish" story...
