My solo 616 came in today, I’ll get some pictures once I clean it up. It has good compression and everything but I may want to change the seals for good measure

My disappointing Facebook marketplace purchase.

Guy has a running PHO 064 for $200

I look at the saw in person and I see the broken wrap handle and missing clutch cover. The guy starts the saw up and I check and see that I can hold the saw up by the pull rope. So I buy it anyway.

So I get it home and today I pull the front of the muffler off and yikes

I pull the cylinder off.

Some 220 grit sandpaper and now it is good and smooth. Much better now

Dang, that sucks. You get it salvaged and running again yet?

Sorry to hear that. If I'm going to go look at a saw, I'm taking tools, if he wants to sale it, he should let me check it over.

Looks like you got some work to do on it.

I do, I thought it would have been fine since I could hold the saw up by the rope and it had enough compression to hold the saw up. Now I know that I can’t go by that test.

I’m glad to hear that, I thought I had found another one but the rails were chipped out way too bad on it.

Same thang I thought when I got that 4200 off eBay, it was for parts only to build my 5200, but was gonna put the 4200 p/c up, til I pull the jug and saw the deep gouge in the cylinder for the piston locator pin.

At 200$ even though it's an ugly duckling, you probably won't be upside down in it

A another friend on here found me three bows,two for poulans and one for a stihl, I put my son inlaw in touch with him for the stihl bow, don't know what ever happened on that. The other fellow wanted, if I can remember, $100 for all three but that's been awhile now.

I don't think i have $200 in my 5200 build yet, got to order fuel lines still and pick up a duck bill valve for the tank vent.

I don't want to say what i have into my 3400/3700 build.

Steve

 

[s sidewall]

But i think if I was, but ain't gonna, sale it I could recoup no problem.

I just tore into the gray Craftsman I got from my brother, turns out it's a 3800 not a 3400, pleasant surprise. Super clean saw

Make sure to replace crank seals, hard parts seem to be getting scarce. You don't want any leaks.
