Carb orator? I didn't know carbs could speak! Next time, I'll just ask it what's wrong - "Is it your fuel pump diaphragm? Metering diaphragm? Come on, speak up!"

I wonder, is this the fault of auto-correct or voice recognition software?

Probably is...I get some nonsensical emails from auto-correct software. And you'll ROTFLOL to some Google voicemail translations.
 
Now, I wouldn't walk across the street for $125 Husky 240. But I'd do some driving for a 555 used 2x. I've emailed for model #.

What, no comment on the 17" bar? reeks of a "hot" saw, and I don't mean one that cuts fast...
 
It may be HOT. And I figured 16" or 18" and "owner" is a dingbat.

If you bought a Husqy for whatever money an 18" bar would fit on (and it was recently---new saw, only used twice), you'd remember that it was an 18" bar. And if not, you've got way too much cash on your hands.

He emailed it is a Husky 351. Hmmm, Husky stopped production in 2006 or 2009, I think. Maybe he'll answer more emails.

Sears had 'em sitting in the store wayyy past that. his story could be solid. Except the 17" bar part.
 
Re: Husq 351 - Email response below. I'm betting it's stolen.

"I've had it for a little while and I bought it used and the gentlemen told me that info so I forwarded it. Guess I should've done research and forgot about taking his word for value. Please forgive me for trusting an individual. Never the less the cost is as mentioned. Thanks for inquiring about my add"
 
hunned dollars but check for a S/N first. still a good saw... Dont let anybody follow you home to your other saws. in fact tell this dude it's your first saw ever.
 
Yeah, a good saw - could put a big bore 45mm top end on it. But this is all too wiggy. Quite a drive, too. I'm gonna pass.
 
What do you get when you combine an el cheapo Harbor Freight trailer, some green painted plywood, and a couple John Deere decals? Your very own John Deere lawn trailer!

Wow. I've got a 50 year old Massey-Ferguson trailer. It doesn't have stickers anymore so I wonder if I put some Ferrari ones on there if someone will bite. Any interest here on a 50 year old Ferrari lawn cart?

That should buff right out. Couple coats of wax and she should be good to go! :)

Heh. There's an 044 ending on eBay today that had a tree fall on it. I found myself studying the pictures and making a list of the parts that might be salvageable. Crankshaft, piston, muffler, clutch, oil pump, flywheel, carburetor, coil and a handful of screws is all anyone could hope to get out of it. The case was broken, fins stripped off the cylinder, front handle pretzeled, rear handle broken, all the other plastic smashed up.

3800 miles on that Impreza. I bet the timing belt is in great shape.
