well it turned up this afternoon, well what a piece of crap! it was probably a decent saw before he got his hands on it! chain is junk,as is the bar,sprocket,chain brake is broken, and the whole thing is encased in baked on oil and sawdust that looks as old as the saw itself, you have to keep it in a bucket there is so much oil leaking from it! I didn't even start it, you can tell the guy wasn't that hot on cleaning or any form of maintenance by the state of the car he arrived in, which broke down yesterday hence the arrival today, and only just started after about 5 minutes of cranking it over when he left,, he seemed quite put out the local dealer had said he didn't really want it as a trade in, but would knock a tenner off a new one. it was obvious why once you saw it.

346/357 leaked chain oil like it was free. It's just a little seal on the pump that's normally the issue.

 

Seems like your going to have to spend some money putting new bits on it. Bit of Stihl varioclean should clean up the outside.

I didn't buy it, I pulled the exhaust and there was almost as much shit inside as on the outside, he said it ran better with the air filter removed.I told him to take it away.

I'm almost thinking it was a joke played on me by someone who is going to confess next time I see 'em.

oh, I forgot to add the punchline,, seeing the state of it I asked "what wood you been cutting, looks like mahogany",, "yeah, some old windows"!!

To what base product is marketing added to make that? I've just used petrol and brushes before.
