Free 2300 (and matching 2000 not pictured).
Three bucks worth of fuel line between the two and they both run great. Since everything went so well I popped for new $4 foam air filters for each of them rather than scrounging foam and cutting to size.
Both came with good bars and decent chains but I located new shorter bars for reasonable from a member on here.

Everything is (knock on wood) working on these two saws. As soon as my new air filters arrive I will take them out to the woods for a little test running. Will definitely let you know if I need anything (or the whole thing LOL).I've got a parts 2300 if you need anything for it or you can have it too lol

Been trying to get rid of it for a while lol
PM me pics? I have two of them and wouldnt mind a parts saw. Shipping couldnt be too much eh?
Getting this saw brought me to this site. I think it qualifies as a you suck. My wife went to a friends house to set up for a yard sale last Friday and spotted this saw. Asked them how much they wanted for it. They said to just take it. The husband had it given to him by his father but he only used it a few times. I don't think his old man had used it much more than that. I checked it out, added gas and bar oil, and it fired right up. Came with a new chain in the box too. Not sure how old it is but it looks about brand new.
This past weekend, I was given this 084. Included were 2 spare chains, a gallon of bar oil and a litre of Stihl 2 stroke oil:
It is in nice shape overall, but there is a little impact damage on the plastic:
It would only run a few seconds at a time. The dealer told the P.O. that it needed a carb, which is no longer available. Thanks to members here, I downloaded the appropriate technical information and received some diagnostic suggestions in another thread. I found the impulse line had popped off the barb fitting. I reattached the line, added some Seafoam to the tank, adjusted the mix and now it runs like a raped ape.
I did replace the tiny little scabbard with a full length one. And the seal around the gas cap was starting to crack. So I ordered them from my local Stihl dealer.
Grand total repair bill after taxes: $10. That would be Canadian, so about US$7.50. Does that qualify for submission to this thread?
