Found a pretty good deal on an old EZ but I am not sure what kind of shape it is going to be in. I am interested in the EZ because I have got some old photos of my Grandpa with one that he traded for an XL 101 that I have got now. Now my question how hard are parts going to be to find and if it is locked up what is it going to cost get it back running?

When you say old EZ I'm assuming you mean the original EZ with a vertical cylinder - yes? Even the little EZs can be classified as old because they have been out of production for close to 40 years.

Yes the original EZ is the one I was referring to I guess it was made in the fifties

Parts really shouldn't be too costly for it, nor hard to find as the ez shared lots of parts with other saws, the EZ-6, Zip series, and the 600D to name a few. Folks on this site should be able to cover the vast majority of your parts needs, if not there's always ePay.

I don't know if it has any fire or what if any compression it does still have the original bar but no chain and I think it is missing the spark plug cover. Would it be a good buy for $40.00?

Personally, if it does in fact have comp and spark its a good deal for sure. Even without spark it'd be ok. Low compression means a rebuild...which could be expensive, but that depends too. Lots of variables really. But if its in good physical shape, why not! You stick around here you'll get it running  |

I think I might chance it, I might can get the guy down a little but I don't want to push it and I think it would be a good addition to my small but growing collection.
