dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[diggers_dad]

Two more just arrived via Fed Ex. Both have a little oil on the bottom but no evidence of actually being used. No sawdust anywhere, one still has the spacer where the bar goes, as well as a bottle of 2 stroke oil. Both have screnches, manuals, brand new bars and chains. I haven't run compression tests on either one yet but they both feel very good.

They are like a little grey plague multiplying in my basement... :help::help:

Well my bank account says only 1 at this time. Maybe I should sell some better saws to buy a couple more of these piles of crap.

One of us should message him and tell him we'd bite if he'd go back to the $35 buy it now price. I'd get a couple more at that price. I just hate to pay more than I have to. He had to be turning a profit at $35 or he wouldn't have sold them that low.

Take a breath, 08, hold out for lower prices and then you can have more money to spend on your curvy interests...:hmm3grin2orange:

Wow. I thought I caved in easy. You guys are pathetic. Which makes me feel better about my own horde of these little saws!

If someone came to you (anybody) and said I'll double your money in a weeks time would you do it ?

he would probably sell more of them if he had a buy it now price of $75 shipping included
after all everybody knows that you can't buy a new running chainsaw for $35 delivered to your door,
those have got to be junk clapped out parts saws that only a bunch of saw freaks would have any interest in.:msp_scared:

they are not junk saws at all,, the one i built,, the reason for this thread,, was in new condition,, i didn't look like it was ever run,, by the time i got done doing the mods it was a good runner

Someone put this guy on the "Spam" list. $75!!!! Hush, he might hear you!!!! :msp_scared::msp_scared: How can I delete someone else's post?? :help:



I just checked the compression on the two that came this morning. The first one had 162 psi and the second had 170! Strong spark on both of 'em, too.
