Well, went ahead and picked it up today...40 bux. Came with the spare carb and extra dog. Complete, solid, and clean. Top end looks good through the exhaust, but I wasn't impressed by the compression. That said, there's a pretty hacked helicoil job for the plug that may be partly responsible and will need to be re-done sooner than later if it'll take another one installed properly.
So, no spark. Guy claimed he needed to re-route and repair the plug wire due to arching against the muffler causing it to cut out, but it recently just quit running.
Think I may have found
that problem!
All in all it was worth the ride and I'm becoming more and more appreciative of these older saws. Though this one isn't exactly a
classic old saw, there is a certain cool factor about it and there's 68cc's in a fairly nice little package that should be fun to run when I get it going.
So about the availability of misc parts for this rascal? Whatchya got old 040?
