Its not much of a looker but its a runner. Didn't really do too much, put in a new fuel filter, good gas, cleaned up the plug and pulled the starter about a 100 times. Nothing. Adjusted the low and high carb settings to one turn out - fired right up. Even cut a bit of wood (after reversing the chain direction) - wood came out in long peels rather than chips - perhaps a sharpening would be good.

Now, get a 30" bar and I'll be all set to use it as my 'big' saw.

Thanks for listening, Steve.

	Just because they lack yellow paint, doesn't mean they aren't real chainsaws.

Probably you can tell me from the numbers! Steve.

Steve.
