Sold Husqvarna 346XP NE for parts or repair

[user 34550]

I bought new in March 2009, had ~20 tanks of fuel through it, got very hot and locked up felling a pine.
I replaced the carb diaphragms, installed aftermarket piston / cylinder, added fresh fuel mix (93 octane w/Klotz R50 at 40:1). Started up, bogged some upon acceleration, but I continued to cut pine tree, it got hot and locked up again within 5 minutes. My dealer called Husqvarna tech dept. - they believe it has an air leak causing it to run very lean.
The saw is in excellent condition aesthetically, with normal wear on silver chain cover. I will include original piston / cylinder if you want it. No bar or chain. This saw has an unmodified, non cat muffler.
$200 including standard shipping.

Gonna be an expensive saw by the time you repair it right.

Yep, waiting to see if the OEM cylinder can be cleaned up.

Llast used one I bought was in good shape and same price as this one.

I'll stand second in line if Don doesn't want it

 

[sunfish]

PM sent.

Half_full, if it doesn't work out for me, it's yours. Thanks for not jumping the gun!

 

[user 34550]

Just received an offer for my asking price, so a sale is pending. I hope whoever gets it will let me know what the probhlem is... and don't say the previous owner!

 

[sunfish]

Wasn't me, I was too slow on the draw...

That's okay Don put that $200 towards your 550 XP

Ken, maybe at some point.

wasn't me either... I guess standing in line and being polite doesn't pay

Been skipped a couple times myself...

Some people just want the money and don't care who gets it or in what order.

Only once did I not let the 1st person who PM'd me or posted on something get it. That was only because I got a trade offer I wanted, and the 1st guy was a cash deal. In that case, I wanted the trade more than the cash. Otherwise, there is a standing order.

that's what happens when newbe's sale on here

 

[user 34550]

My apologies, gentlemen. Unaware of the Tradin' Post etiquette protocol, I sold it to a member here who, via PM, was the first to offer me my asking price. For future reference, how should I have decided who got the saw? Thanks in advance!

 

[redfin]

I would think the first person you agreed on a price with. I rarely post in a thread if I want something I pm the seller.

Edit. However, if there are several showing interest at said price it would be courteous to give the option to the first contact made.

redfin,
Thanks for your reply. I actually did sell to the first person I agreed on a price with. Thanks to everyone who showed interest in my saw!
