Good grief! Don't forget another 9.50 per piece to ship that junk! I have trashed better looking parts than that!!

I have PAID another member for parts that looked about like that... apparently, they FAILED to mention issues with the parts.... :bang:
nice enough to tell me they were dirty, though
UGH.. some people think JUNK is worth SOMETHING.... :dunno:

I sold my dads about 10 years ago for $350 on eBay, lol. Gotta love eBay for starting bidding wars.

Yeah....................but a used sledge hammer is easier on the eyes than a homely 150, costs less, and is more useful for other tasks. I did do one EXTREMELY stupid thing regarding a 150 once though; I passed up a mint looking white/blue 150 with a blown oiler diaphragam (had oil coming out the muffler and it felt like it was heading towards hydro-lock when pulled over) at a local scrap yard. I set it down, walked away, and watched as a fellow from our 'migrant worker community' picked it up (almost ran to it when I set it down) and proceeded to pull and pull and pull and pull.............until it went "crunch". Smiled to myself.
The STUPID thing I did was not wait for him to set the 'broken' saw back down and go pick it up to purchase. That was stupid because I could have gotten it for $5 or less, and it had a CHERRY Homelite Marked 16" Windsor Speed Tip sprocket nose bar and a good loop of 3/8" non-safety chain. The 150 shares the same bar mount as the Homelite E-Z. Man I'm a dumbass. If I'd bought it instead of setting it down (and watching the moron hydrolock it), then I could have sold the powerhead on feebay for $20+ as a fixer-upper. Even after he bent the rod (or did whatever damage he did), I still could have at least recouped my money and ended up with a free Speed Tip bar and chain. Don't see those Speed Tips in that pattern much anymore................especially with a nice looking Homelite logo intact. I'll bet the saw was last ran about 30 years ago, and sat with bad gas (and a slowly rotting oiler diaphragm) until somebody cleaned out a garage...

I made a deal on some small running saws.....3 for $50 for an extra $5 the guy threw in the Homeless 150. Now an 8lb sledge cost more, and doesn't make me feel better.

Aaron wrote his Masters thesis on this chainsaw malady. He can email it to you, and spare us the pain and suffering...........:biggrin:

Still not worth it. I got my last used 8 pound sledge for less than $5 ('twas free), and despite being old and rusty, it doesn't give me intestinal cramps when I look at it. Can't say that about a 150...:msp_scared:
Air can be compressed. Fluids cannot. In this case, enough bar oil had been drawn thru the ruptured/rotted diaphragm and into the engine that the cylinder filled up. Cranking over an engine with a cylinder filled with fluid to the point that there's not enough air space left to compress............makes things break. That's the short and dirty (AKA Jonathan's....................nevermind) version...
Cheeky bugger!:jester:
thanks, that's a succinct thesis that makes perfect sense. never knew what it was called.
