I don't really need it. I have a 3120, 090, 2095, 2094, 9000, 288xp, 7900, 6401 and some smaller saws. I do have a 54" large mount Stihl bar (Cannon Superbar) with no saw to put it on though (the 090 has the 41" ES bar).

200 seems too high to me. I would put it on a mill to spare the 090 and 3120.

Sounds like a parts saw to me. That he ran it a short while and it quit, now has serious score marks sounds like it was run on straight gas. I agree, the price is high.

Here is a question for you. I came across an 075AV Super the other day. If you pull the carb you can see the piston has scoring (you can see as well as feel the scratches with a fingernail). It also has a shiney piece of Aluminum imbedded in the piston. It is not locked up and you can pull it over and feels like decent compression. Can't see the rings or the cylinder bore. How much is it worth?

A guy bought it off ebay about a year ago and used it a couple of times and then it quit on him. He traded it in to the shop where I saw it. The cylinder base gasket and the crankcase gasket are both a red substance (not original gaskets). The guy wants 200 at the shop. Turned down an offer for 175.
Seems high to me. What is your opinion on value?


Don't be so sure the piston/cylinder is shot.. I've seen a bunch of the 051/075 style saws, and even more of the TS510/TS760 (same cylinders as the saws) with obvious piston marks and they work great... Are the piston marks "shiny" or dull and dry looking... The shiny marks seem to be fine...

The cylinders on these old saws just seem to go on and on and...

If the base gasket has been replaced with red dirko, then someones been messing with the saw to raise the compression/whatever I'd be more worried about that.

No, one on left is off of a website. One in signature liine is the one I'm talking about--blue eyes, but you can't tell that from the black and white picture.
