I know this isn't vintage but today I picked up a stihl 024. It seems to have compression but is super dirty. I also picked up a Poulan pro 34cc cheapie (low compression). I got it because it had about a 20" stihl bar and chain. Now I have no idea why someone had such a big bar on that saw. I paid $20 for the pair.

You need to post that in the "you suck" thread! That's a heck of a deal no matter what. Except the Poulan....whew almost forgot that :)
 
David and Josh at the swapmeet--Odds are good to bring home 1 to 3 old saws cheap ,some old tools--Hope my leg/back holds out--Its a all day walkathon and that does not include the vintage car part--Being on the hunt is exciting-- When find is sighted--must remain calm-try to evaluate seller and item--slow-pick it up and check it out-do not act to interested--Does it run--use to--missing parts-yep.. How much-----$$---Put it down start walking off--I will take $--Sold-put said object in our wagon. You never really know what you will find--some years 0 --- others the mother lode and since I have saws it is easy to leave it there if to$$:surprised3:
 
Sometime I ask how many people really want a old heavy saw-no parts available --That does not run/locked up------Right?? Josh and I know what to look for for each other also. At times you have to slow down an look ask about stuff. People see old saw in my wagon--I tell them to bring what they have to next meet--might buy....
 
Safe move on a saw of that caliber. Let's see it in wood next!

That was my thinking. I don't mind trying but I can't hear the tune real well on the newer saws either. On the older ones I can hear it much better. But that dual port made it sound awesome. Hard to hear in the video

And I briefly put it in wood and it was awesome. I noodled to bury the bar and it was slinging noodles out too and bottom it was ripping so much
 
Anybody know where to get the large body small nipple ceramic filters. My local parts store stopped carrying them, now all they have is the small body ceramic ones
