Just got back from looking at a ms440 Magnum with 24in bar & chain in Salem. $250 was the asking price. Compression seemed to be good, but I didn't have my gauge with me. Seemed maybe to be running lean. Also was leaaking gas everywhere, and no oil getting to the chain.
Guy didn't even have a sqrench for it. Got a bad feeling. Guy couldn't speak English, didn't know the asking price, was selling for a friend. Friend was in the hospital.
Saw was well used. I walked....
So, still for sale if someone wants to take a chance on it.
I saw that one and thought long about it. It's almost imposible to tell from the pic but a few things made me think it could be beat up. Like the guy's name on the side which indicated a crew saw.
Sorry you wasted your time and thanks for the info.
