To close the loop on this thread, I went to retrieve the 032 and was presented with a bill of $44 to diagnostics.......basically how much to tell me they couldn't fix it. But, if I bought a new saw they would wave it.

In the end, I would up buying a Stihl MS271, 18" bar. I'm not cutting for a living, or even firewood to heat the house......more like clearing brush and downed trees, so this should suffice.

FWIW, 032 is going to a farm raised kid whose passion / hobby is patching up small engines. Will see what he can do with it. I have the diagnostics summary, so we basically know what is wrong with it. That, plus the websites you guys mentioned here as sources for after market parts......will help. We will see.

Also, when I talked to my independent small engine guy, he also said it would be $50 to find out if he could fix the 032 and it would be like a 1 in 4 chance of being successful, knowing the age of it and what seemed to be wrong with it.

And lastly, local Stihl dealer, which owns something like 75% of the commercial small engine market around here.....including 99% of all the professional weed wackers.......has dropped the Echo line from inventory, including all service. Echo is now found in the box stores and they no longer want anything to do with them.

Small engine guy told me Echo and Stihl are both good, but Echo parts are expensive by comparison. He doesn't see much Husky as no good dealers around locally, so not many are found in this market.

FWIW........

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
