"You Suck" Thread 2021"--Pics required!

[HumBurner]

Picked up a Solo 633 for $15 from the funky second hand store. Missing clutch cover but is fairly clean, brake works, stout compression but turns smooth. Havent had chance to fire it up or look at the plug yet, but will soon.


Pics next week.

Last week I nabbed a set of three fixer-upper husky saws for $100. The guy had them posted as three Husqvarna 257s. But one looked odd...like it was wearing a different saw's top cover (middle in the picture). Picked up the saws, got home, and turns out it wasn't the top cover that was weird. The saw was wearing a 257 recoil cover...on an early model 262xp . Better yet with a HDA 87. I'll start a thread on the rebuild later.

Only a half trunk full today. Everything has good compression. Will probably flip the two little Poulans so I end up with a free Partner 500 and Husqvarna 128LD trimmer.

Found myself a Poulan 3500 today. Last of the 60cc pro saws before Husqvarna turned them into Wal-Mart specials.

Are you gonna share the price paid so we can determine the level of suck to assign?
Thanks
Tom

Paid $75 for the two saws. After a primer bulb and fuel lines, less than a dollar total, I bounced the little 2150 out for $65. So... about $11 in the the 3500.

eBay score $160 delivered. Brand spanking new cs400View attachment 883206View attachment 883210
Shipping was refunded because FedEx messed up. It sat at one of their depots for damn near a week.

I have a Echo CS 450 and really like it. No vapor locking when it is hot, always starts and runs. I have 4 Homelite Super XL 12s that I bought new back in 1977, one has a 3 foot bar with a skip link chain for the bigger trees here. They run well but like to vapor lock when hot, still like them.

Znalazłem dziś Poulana 3500. Ostatnia z pił 60 cm3, zanim firma Husqvarna przekształciła je w oferty specjalne Wal-Martu.

Just picked this up today. Saw it last night, replied and denied. I was too late but said if prior person no showed they'd let me know. Went to bed in severe CAD depression. Got a notice this morning....NO SHOW, do you want it? "Yes pls". Picked it up, 40 bucks with case, got home dropped the fuel out swished some straight gas to clean the tank, fueled it, pulled it 5 times, primed it with mix, 2 more pulls, running and idling. I'm going to wipe it down and just because I live on the edge, I'm going to do a reversal of direction on the ole chain cuttery device. And sharpen it in case at one point it was ever run in the normal direction.

 

[Gumneck]

The saw had not been used a couple of years and I thought about just fueling it without draining it....only a thought!!

 

[Steve Hume]

Free. Dumped the OLD mix out, squirted some fresh mix in the carb and it fired up.

No wonder it didn't cut too well

Hi guys,

I got a bunch of saws last week basically given to me by a large Arborist workshop mechanic. Included were MS280, 020, 051 x 2 ( one is basically for parts ) and a early 041.

This is the MS280 before and after I gave it a good clean up. All it needed was a new throttle linkage which I got from my local Stihl dealer for $10. I will post more pics when I go through the rest of them.

Town dump strikes again! Free 028 WB. Early 1978 by the serial number. No chain brake, points ignition, 42mm piston, Tillotson "made in Ireland" carb. It was in parts in a cardboard box, seized, but complete. squirted MMO in the spark plug hole and the crankcase and let it sit on a radiator overnight. some slight persuasion with a wooden dowel through the spark plug hole in the morning got it unstuck, pulled the jug off, nice bright cylinder walls, no scoring, stuck rings. cleaned it all up and put back together. Great compression. Waiting for an electronic ignition coil and a fuel line. Pictures are after the clean up.

I haven't been doing much sucking in 2021, but I scored a FS110R and FS130 at a local auction for $250 for the pair.
They're a little dirty, but both fired right up. It will be a perfect opportunity to put the FS130 up against my FS250 on a brush covered area that needs cleaning out.

Did a little clean-up on the trimmers and here's an updated picture.
