Just picked up this wee fella on the cheap last week.
Ex arborist saw, had been to the shop umpteen dozen times (for the same issue) and had been dropped and the top handle broken/replaced, but basically it spent more time bogging on full throttle than it did running the chain at full throttle- owner got sick of it and wanted rid of it- in steps me.
Now these things are no 200T- but will keep company with the Stihl 150 and Echo 2511.
Quite well thought out and put together, easy to work on- you can separate the top handle halves without needing a degree in rocket science to put it all back together! Couple of side covers off and the muffler exits stage right- entire engine can come out stage left- pop out cover reveals all fuel lines and return lines, self resetting kill switch, captive bar nut, flippy caps. Nice wee package.
Issues- it had a small tear in the fuel delivery line- just below where it exits the tank- so replaced section of fuel line. Stripped and cleaned the carb- altered the metering lever a touch higher, removed limiters on the carb adjuster screws and tuned old school.
Now runs like a charm.
