Has very high compression and huge displacement, so best to save on your recoil and shoulder by using the good working decomp valve under the rear handle. I haven't run this saw for around 4 or 5 years and it started cold in just a few pulls and ran out of the gate.
A rare survivor of the early run of 075AVs which were usually battered stumping old growth or abused on a chainsaw mill. This one is a clean example and a great runner to boot. Has the west coast wrap handle and the original large falling double dogs. Only issues I can see are the chain rash on the clutch cover and chain catcher area, but damage is limited to cosmetics. See cutting video in 32 maple running new stock semi chisel / chipper chain. For small items, the cut is high.Please keep this in mind when browsing.
