Thanks for all prayers--Weather turning to sleet/snow this weekend --so many in homes with no power -no heat-shelters are opening up. We have line crews from about 7 surounding counties--They are doing great for such destruction. David

Here is the Dayton, the 306a isn't quite as bad.

What state are you in?

It wouldn't hurt to decarbon it, a piece of carbon could flake off and cause damage. I carefully scrape off what I can with the cylinder off and then use seafoam on a paper towel to get off the rest

I have a xl12 with pretty bad scoring on piston--Runs great after carb kit and line. Test saw--I will keep running but run the richer oil mix that I use on the old ones-- David--no more cold showers-cooking on coleman stove--flashlights and lanterns-- I am going to write BenFranklin a good thanks for discovering good old electricity.

I am BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday night 10.00 pm we had a tornado come through--My 1st ever--Power off at my house 3 days--Many will be off 1 more week . My house undamaged but Trees down all over city-Roads-alleys-structures badly hit. I got up tuesday morning- Got my chaps on and cleared downed trees on my street . Got to tear into another big pine till city came in with saw and backhoe--I was ready to rest-590 Echo cut well. Went to lowes today for supplies--All gas saws gone + lots of bars, chains and chaps etc. Met a guy does small engine work on the side. Says he has a couple old saws he wants to give me. I cannot help myself!!!

Glad you are back, even better that you house didn't get damaged. I can't imagine the destruction of that storm if the power is still out for some. You will have to show us the saws when you get them.

He said take it home and come up with a price. ran without filter but I think it will be ok

A truck saw should be on the cheap side, its like a truck gun, you dont want to put your para ordnance expert comander 1911 in there, toss in a hi point lol.

Is the 015 saw about like a poulan s25da in power???? Looks good--I an turning into a stihl guy--Every time I see a tree service I ask what brand--STIHL--STIHL-STIHL---------Even when the city came through-Big Stihl----I am scared--The parts are so high and I am so tight with a buck. I just don't just throw down $200 on a bar and chain like some do I do want longer bar setups but will take time. I Guess I got envious -Ha Ha. Kensie I wish you were here to run it. There are Giant pines,oaks etc down all over that need cutting up. If My back was not still healing I would be in the thick of it for days. Most trees will end up in inert land fill. Would be great to save as fire wood and milling. I hate to see that---
