Well this weird and at the same time, so familiar.
I am sure that some of you have experienced this.
You get a "new" saw, possibly some model that yu havent owned, nor maybe even seen or touched before and you think its a saw that is kind of rare and nobody has em in your area....but after shor time, you seem to find more same models...
You see, this 5000 that i have, was like that. Nobody had em, nobody had heard of one....but now, today....
i have three of em....
All are wrecks, and i think i dont have enough parts to make one complete runner, but my friends dad, was fighting with his Stihl ms200 carb settings when i stopped by. I got it fixed and we talked about some saws and he disappeared in to his forewood sheds attic, and jumped down with an old dynamite box. I was scared :cool2:
He tossed it to me and said that " you keep this s-it,since you like this old c-ap".
There was a lonesome stihl muffler from i dont know what model and under it an yellow Partnet 5000....:msp_biggrin:
Apparently, its missing the front handle ( would any jonsered/husky part fit ? ), and the top cover was in 4-5 pieces, the choke lever / air cleaner cover was missing, and the handle was in parts or smashed. The tree had fallen up on it some 10 years ago, while felling the pine.
The air cleaner was also missing and the brake lever/clutch cover too.
But it has an intact, working starter cover & mechanism.. sorry i donno the word.... as well as a carb, the casings in one piece,ingition and , by looking through the plug hole, an good condition cylinder so i think the piston might be in ok contition too.
later today i went fixing my 4x4, to this guys son, my friend and he had the 5000, in which, was the air cleaner, from the wreck i just recaeived. They had used the one i got, as a spare part saw to keep my buddys, now retired saw a runner , before he went like others in this village.....they all have stihls.....well, 50% has stihl, 50% Huskys.
My buddy has two Stihl 023´s that ive repaired for him, and the 5000 that he has, was put in retirement too, and i got it.
:confused2:
