Factory-Reconditioned Homelite ZR10580 42cc 18-in Gas Chain Saw

Difficult starting since day 1, progressively rougher running until it wouldn't start anymore. Repair shop made carb adjustment (need special tool), which lasted an hour. Currently in repair shop needing short block because of piston/cylinder scoring. Awaiting Homelite authorization for repair. Bottom line: There's a reason these saws get sent back to the factory. I wouldn't touch another with a 10' pole!
Update: Got rebuilt saw back, used for a month, experienced same hard start/no start problem. Took it back to repair shop - same problem - new cylinder scored! This time I thought I was dead in the water, but the repairman talked to the factory, and lo and behold, 3 weeks later a BRAND NEW saw was delivered to my doorstep! Having been burned once, I sold it unused on Ebay for what it cost me - less aggravation. And my conscience is clear because the NEW saw MAY reflect the high quality standards of the older Homelite chain saws - maybe...

Paid $78 2 years ago from a large home improvement store
Saw worked the first time then it locked up pull rope would not move, after reading on net found the only way to fix was remove brake band = metal band that goes around clutch as housing was plastic and everything had melted in that area causing problem, it now works but has no safety brake just like the old days, I did not use saw for over 1 year after buying and so I was stuck with it. Junk in my opinion, I have over 40 years experience with these things.

Works as described.
I had some problem getting it started at first but now works great.
I would purchase other items from this buyer again.
