I have the exact model bought new probably 30 years ago. It has been run sparingly over those years, but has original bar and blow molded case, but I've replaced the chain a few times. Other than a bit of a pain to add fuel to get around the hand guard it has been a terrific saw. For its size it has good power and is very light . Good saw
If itvwon’t start without a squirt of fuel it’s because your carb probably isn’t set right or improper starting procedure. Verify your carb is together right and all orifices free and clear, make sure float height is set right. You need a gauge for that. Then choke on full and homd the throttle 3/4 open. It should fire up in 3-5 pulls. If not your low speed jet may be to lean ( not enough fuel). The carb needs to be tuned right or they won’t cold start well. Mine usually starts first pull.
I have one just like it, but with a 14" bar. No major issues with it & everything on it works properly. Bought it in 1985 at Best Products in Dayton, Ohio. Think I paid about $145. The anti-kick back tip fell off in the late 80s. I cut a lot of osage orange out of the fence row with it back in the day.
