      Saws were made clear into the late 90's without chain breaks. You can get this same model saw without the chain break. Infact fallers preferred saws without the chain break because of weight.

    When you’re dealing with old saws like this you must never forget: The first thing you do is replace the fuel line and filter inside the fuel tank. Remember this and you will go far. Know how I know this? Cause I like chainsaws.
    And you gotta keep it. You’ll get that Husky pinched in a tree one day and then you’ll be glad to still have it.

    Nice. A heck of a lot of people today have no interest in troubleshooting, nor fixing things. We all do it to an extent. Some things aren't worth the effort, but most are. We live in a throw-away world. Broke? Chuck it in the bin and buy a new one. There is so much good stuff thrown in landfills every day it's sickening. A chainsaw for $2 is a no-brainer. Even if the engine is kaput, you can salvage parts. Thankfully the fix-it-yourself lifestyle is making a comeback, albeit slowly. I say good job, Capt. That saw has a new lease on life.

    Keep it Mike, You just never know when your favorite saw will crap out on you. Also a suggestion, when taking mixture screws out count the number of turn in toward the carb in 1/2 turn increments until it bottoms out, then when you put it back together set the needle then back it out the same number of turns you counted before. When ever I get a piece of equipment like this the first thing I do is rip out all the old fuel line and replace it with new fuel line it's just cheap insurance against frustration down the road.

    Sell it, Captain, sell it!! It's a heavy old saw without the safety technology that anyone frequently cutting wood should have.

You already have too many saws! Get rid of it!

    If you want to fix plastic best way is to weld it. Get some super glue, clean out your crack and fill with super glue. Now sprinkle some bicarb soda on the glue before it dries . results can be filed to shape. Best idea is practice first. Also note this causes a reaction so dont get glue on skin.
