I got given a 042 yesterday. The piston has a few scratches. And the brake is missing. Any good to anyone?

Paid approx $165US for this - its the most original 266 I have ever seen, looks like it has only a couple of hours run time since new:

Also very original..... but used alot! Stopped by to see if my friend had anything saw related and gave me this for the right price of 0$ .
Funny enough the large hole in the top cover made it easy to dump a cap of gas in the air cleaner and it ofcourse ran for a minute! Has saw holding compression to !

Covers can be so misleading.

You sucked twice.....once in the first post, twice in the second. Now take that free dead cricket and go catch a giant bass for a third sucking....

I posted the first cuts on Nik's Poulan thread just now.

Yard sale 25.00$ needed a spark plug to run. Had an original Mac10 hard nose on it.

I should have taken before pictures, but was too excited to spiff it up. This was listed in the local CL ads. It stated the pull cord was pulled out and he wasn't sure of the condition of the saw. I responded. It was literally 4 blocks from my house and it was free. I rethreaded the pull cord. I also found it had been run with the brake on and toasted the clutch bearing and the clutch springs were sprung. $15 to replace those and some scotch bright to the bar, I am good to go. The clutch seal checks out good for now. I pulled the muffler and the piston looks great.

Hi guys,

I think I might just come close to winning the you suck.

So a customer comes into my Auto shop and I noticed while selling him some parts for his Landcruiser that he had an arborist business, so I asked him if he has any old saws, even if broken he would like to sell. He told me that he had a old MS441 Magnum that he purchased about 12mths ago from a Chainsaw/Arborist training school for $950 aussie dollars and that it now wasn't working. I asked him what was wrong and his response was " not sure but the local Stihl dealer said it was too expensive to fix". He wanted to give me the saw for free, but I insisted i would prefer to pay something for it, so we came to a $50 deal.

Expecting it to have a burnt out piston or something terminal i was just happy to have it for parts. But once I got it home, I decided to have a look and literally all I did was clean the air cleaner add some fuel and it ran and it ran very well. Only thing I have noticed since chopping a couple of trees down as the lack of full throttle. Which I might of found the issue. But I will post a question shortly in the forum for some close up photo's of the linkage setup on a MS441.

Cheers

Justin

My you suck contribution today is a Pioneer Super 6-20 and a IEL HM Pioneer for $20!
Pioneer Super 6-20 has spark and compression so it won't take long.
No idea about the IEL HM, she sorta threw it in on my way out the door.

Covid has disrupted my usual suckage searches, but I did pick up 15 used Stihl .325" .062" chains for a 16" bars for $50.
They needed cleaning and a session with my grinder before they could be used, but now I'm set for small saw chains for the foreseeible future

I don’t know of this counts but I got a 026 for $100 runs and oils and the piston looks great

I'd say it is with the crazy prices 026s have been going for.
Plus getting a good saw for a c-note isn't anything to sneeze at.

I need another 026 like a hangover, but if I spotted another running 026 for $100 my wallet would be opening.

Sounds like my Pro Mac 10-10 rescue plan.

Me too, gave my last 026 to my dad. Wish I hadn't. He likes it though.

Good plan.
I'd ditch the "safety" chain that's on the saw for a new loop of Stihl RS chain and let the chips fly.
