Just another junk chainsaw

Husqvarna 268 I picked up not running to fix and flip.

Was easy peasy. :cool2:

That 460 clone G466 is pretty nice right out of the box.

Gives those firewood guys on a budget a whole new level of saws to use for 200 clams.

Saws are a crazy deal. I like the wrench too.

I took a 36 with full comp chain and bar in trade. I looked around and thought I wonder how the poulan 65cc would pull that buried.

I was shocked and amazed how good the quad port 65cc did.

Years ago I had a similar pawn shop experience. Stolen merchandise, weeks go by police found nothing. My wife and I went to pawn shops looking (we never shop in one). Sure enough there it was! Wife waits while I go get the box. Serial numbers matched perfectly!
Now...hindsite is 20-20. Today, I'd take MY merchandise out the store. It's mine, verified by serial numbers, witnessed. Let them call the cops...I'm retrieving my stuff I paid for!
Instead...dummy me...I paid pawn ticket!
Several trips to court, #@$$# never shows up. Finally investigator calls me..."I don't have to go to court, he was arrested and charged". I never got pawn money back, and judge made guy pay me restitution.
$1,200 merchandise, restitution was set at $10 a month!!!!!
In the end I got a total of $120 since he got NO jail time and one year probation. After the year, guy moves, no forwarding address.
People wonder why there's so much crime? It's lucrative!

Forgot to add...that $1,200 was my total loss since most things I never recovered.

I like a thicker grip. So I ordered the full wrap for the G372xp. $29 shipped OEM set.

You couldnt give me a 026 260 for one of these saws. IMO better design intake boot layout. Better choke and air filter set up too. Poulan 3000 49cc thin ring brought back from the dead.

Another plastic saw with the normal rattle it's muffler apart inside. Lucky it didnt get back into cylinder. 029 039 290 310 390

Can see it back there. Had to order a muffler. Should just start stocking the dang things.

Went on a roll and fixed 3 more 54cc chrome bore saws for a total of 6 to sell to locals. My fav small saws I like to use. Plus if it keeps one person from buying those over priced plastic saws :laughing:.

Couldnt trade me 026 260 for these they are IMO that much better. Built the same but with better quality in them by poulan.

I used to use 325 in oregon LG, then stihl RS, then tried LPX years back and fell for that over all of them. But always wished they had it in LGX. They listened.

Now to see if it will be my new favorite in 325 or not.

Set up on a 3.3 335 chrome bore to test out to see.

Since you know chains i have a question, what is a "Pico" type chain and what is the difference from a non pico chain?

Picco is what stihl calls 3/8LP low pro

Good read Chainsaw Chain Measurements, Sizes, and Types : eReplacementParts.com

Thank you for the reply and info. Does the low pro of the chain help with reducing kick back?

Heres a real world review on a Stihl clone, a Holzfforma G660, seems like a good buy but I'm still leery....
