If that's the case its been raining chainsaws here. I've trash picked over 30 good saws this fall, most needed very little to make them run. Mostly just fuel lines broken off.

Sometimes it amazes me that things people just toss in the trash. I found this last night on my way home, sitting in a bright orange saw case with a 'free' sign taped to it. It needs a fuel line, the original is turned to a sticky, gummy mess. The woman there was dragging stuff out to the...
