I had a  female friend of mine. Tell me that she had two chainsaws when I asked her and told her I was interested in chainsaws well she said that some guy she knew or something had worked on this homelite it fired off just yesterday. She came over glanced at the saw for second and then we spoke and she told me she would take $40 for it. I told her that I would pay her the following day. I then took it and brought it into my shop opened it up tried to pull the rope and it was just Free pulling. I took the starter off and it got a broken crank bolt. should I pay the $40 and fix this or is it even worth the trouble?
