Red saw lover
This saw was taken all the way down to case halves last April. I bought it off of EBay because I wanted to try the 346/2153 that so many members talk about. It is impressive, but a 5105 Dolmar is more my style and I almost have one together so I'm gonna let this go. This appeared to be a low hour saw that came to me having ingested a circlip. It got new main bearings, seals, an NE non-decomp piston and cylinder, metal intake clamp, and a rebuilt HDA-159. I spared no expense putting it together with all OEM parts because I thought it would be around for a while. I've ran around eight tanks of non-ethanol 90 octane and Dolmar synthetic oil at 40:1 cutting mostly oak tree tops. The first two tanks I ran it a little more rich and then dialed it up since then. It has no base gasket, squish is right at .020. The timing is stock as is the muffler. It runs so good I didn't feel the need to mess with either, and I read somewhere that the old oil painted mufflers were a little more open. I'm looking for $425 with the 16" .325 bar in the picture. I have a complete 359 intake tract with a freshly re-built HDA-199 I can send with it for an additional $50. I will include shipping in that price east of the Mississippi, and split it out west. These pictures are from last April when I got it together. It looks the same as my saws don't ride to the woods in the bed of my truck, just a little dirtier. If you have any questions or would like more pics just let me know. I also still have pics of the build if that interests a potential buyer.
