I'll be retaining very few 'lookers'. There's the cherry XL-12
that my wife bought me for my birthday a number of years
ago.....................the sweet Craftsman 2.3PS/VL that Tim
sent me, my Craftsman 5.2, and a couple more. Those only get
ran at GTG's. The rest have to earn their shelf space.8)

I have used almost all my saws, but by far the ones in the 54 to
68cc range get the most use. Some of the older bigger saws
will not see much use though with all those 505's hanging around
and of course the 2100cd.

It looks good. Have to be $300 or less for me to pick it up for
a wall hanger

Man that's a nice 8500. Like Mike, $600 is twice what I'd spend
on that saw however. Collector saw prices are going nuts. All
over the map on eBay. I still blame it on the FB/instagram/etc
crowd. 8)

If it smokes then the PTO side crank seal likely needs changing.
The underside of the bar oil pump is 'wet' on these, so the
crank seal always has oil on the outside. The 4900 I had passed
pres/vac test and ran fine, but was smoking and fouling the
muffler and plug. It did seem to be hard to pull a prime from
the tank when cold.
Thinking that the impulse signal was a bit weak due to the
leaking seal. Changed out both seals and it ran perfectly. I
think the bar oil masked the crank seal leak. After the seal
swap it pulled a prime much better, and didn't smoke anymore
once the residual bar oil in the crankcase and muffler burned
off.
