Craigslist find for free. Came with the tiller attachment as well as a new 1.5 gallon gas can full of red armor fuel.

$10 at an estate sale, not quite as nice as Paul Silvestri’s, but a diamond in the rough nonetheless. Also came with the original tool kit.

2083, sold with "low compression" decomp was bent and fouling the top cover and one broken AV spring- around USD$120 delivered.

Oooooh, that's a pretty one - and clean! When the decals are still there, I'm thinking low use saw.

She has a bit of scuffing on the base- but yep, pretty clean.

This is a potential “you suck” moment that I need talked into (or out of).
Someone in my area is selling a good condition husky 365 special for $200. I absolutely do not NEED another saw whatsoever but I hear so many good things about these and it’s so hard to pass up. What do y’all think?

OF course you should buy it...but who around here is gonna suggest NOT buying another saw? Spending other people's money is easy

Personally, if it was a 2165, I'd be all over it. Orange? I'll leave it for the next guy.

Good saw. I would buy it at that price, even though I don't need another saw.

That 1020 looks a bit like a C7/C9, but I'm not an expert on them. I only recall them coming with a clutch cover and a separate flimsy-ish muffler cover, but I could be mistaken.

It looks exactly like my other 1020 except for that clutch cover so I assumed that is what it was.

If it's premix how could any sensor detect the presence or lack of 2 stroke oil in the gas?! This is up to the user/owner job. Not mentioning the oil to fuel ratio for a good lubrication... One incompetent user could screw that up too...

Wild theory...could a temp sensor pick it up? Straight gas means no lubrication which, I guess, means VERY hot cylinder, very fast.

Could a tiny temp probe detect that it’s too hot?

It could measure the ohmic conduction (high when cold ,low ohms when hot) but if straight gassed it would be too late. And how would you "alert" the operator? Beeping is useless( I wear ear protection anyway). Vibration in the bar ,pointless,whole thing vibrates... It's not like a car with a dashboard. Only way would be too connect the sensor in line with the ignition system. Too HOT=no ignition, or stops while running if overheating! Tricky if the guy cuts wood in air temperature of 38 degrees Celcius,like I did not long ago...
That's why I was thinking of a better less restrictive exhaust. But that's another topic. So far I use the 6100 as is.Those engineers that designed it can't be that stupid... Or me ,some genius synthetic 2 stroke Motul and fresh gas. If it seizes ,to hell with it. There's plenty new chainsaws everywhere!

That was my thinking...but as I think on it more, I think it all happens too fast. The piston and cylinder would heat up, but likely by the time a sensor could work out that the temperature was significantly hotter than normal, I suspect the damage is done. It is literally a combustion chamber after all, it is supposed to be hot.

Picked this up for 150 bucks from my local shop. FS trade in and all checked out. Tons of compression and starts and runs very well.

Nice score Sir!, my favorite model of stihl!
I think I need to start hitting you up for parts with those shelves.

Oh my,Paul... So many chainsaws... I get "scared"+tired just thinking of sharpening the chain on ALL of them...
Might take SOME time...

I have two of these 441 and I absolutely love them!! I know many are completely the opposite but I think those purest just really like the o series saws. I do as well however I don't see what the fuss was about with the 441. Seems to be very easy to work on, and yes I've had it taken down and split the case off and put them back together and I didn't find it that hard at all.
