Is there a specific cc range you would be interested in? I'm sure I probably have something that is cheap.
I don't really know, probably something 80cc or larger, and be able to run (somewhat easily) a stihl mount bar. The greater the basket case, the better. Again, I need to get rid a saw (Mac 250) before I get another. Problem is that I probably can't sell it for a decent price until I get it running correctly. It has a new carb kit, air filter, duckbill valve, and is converted to run a modern stihl mount bar. Right there, that is around $100 is parts alone. Still pretty sure it's a carb issue, but it's hard to fix it with the little time I get when I go home. Despite that, I could probably work a new saw into the mix if I was able to sell some of the elm slabs I milled up some time ago to cover the cost.
 
I know several on here have milled some lumber, so how did you guys go about marketing and selling it? I keep on saying I'm going to make something with it, but I'm not going to get to it lol. Some thread was discussing how they were selling cookies from saw testing even:confused:. I need to try that in my town, as we have a ton of artsy people.

Well, 80cc+ saws are hard to come by around my parts. Especially the newer stuff, and if the newer stuff is a basket case then there is typically a reason. It will generally cost you an arm and a leg to build unless it's a 660 them you can use huztl parts. But I dont have any stihls

That’s the same way it is in my parts. The biggest I typically find is 61 cc or so. I used to find Stihl 044s and 046s but no so much anymore.

I don't know if I would do huztl or Hl supply for the next kit. Huztl annoyed me when they were super difficult on replacing my carb for the ms361. Sick of the run around, I don't know if it was because I was not the original purchaser or what, but that is over now. I caved the other day and just ordered one off of amazon. Good thing I waited so long to order it. It is supposed to show up next Friday, a week after I get back to school lol.

Speaking of 60 CC saws... I just traded 2 little Macs for this Echo 602, great compression good spark linkage isn't hooked up so she'll need a good going through but seems solid! That makes two 602s and 6 750s in my collection.
