I wouldn't spend $115 on it.
Well I might, depending on the condition of the rest of the saw. And wether I knew for sure that it would fix all the problems.
Didn't take nearly that much trouble to convince me to go spend $250 on a brand new, dependable saw.
Those old saws are cool and all, and I want to get my old 009L running perfect again if I could do it for 20 or 30 bucks. This saw actually starts and runs but gets hot a little quicker than it used to. I'm thinking it might be developing a leak at the seals, which is about $20 in parts. I'd buy a new bar for it too if I got it running perfect.
But I still like having a brand new saw that I know every part on it is brand new.
Keeping in that weight and power range, I bought an Echo CS-352. And it's a nice little 34cc sub-9 pound saw with decent power.
I was going to get a CS-400, which is a little heavier and more powerful than the 009 or the 011. But they were out of stock at the store I went to buy a saw at, so the 352.
But then, later, at my local dealer's 20% off sale, I ended up getting the saw I really wanted. A saw very similar in style to the 011AV, but much lighter weight, and a little bit faster. The Echo CS-361P.
I really love the 361P. It's a nice compact saw with the 14" bar and chain and lighter and more powerful than the 352. But they aint cheap. It's a solid well built saw though.
I sold the like new CS-352 to my brother at a good price, to replace his old Stihl 017 or 170.
