“Used 10+ years Craftsman model 316.350840”

I bought the saw new a little over 10 years ago. I bought it because of Craftsman's reputation for quality and I wanted the more powerful chainsaw. I use/used this saw for 2 to 3 days at a time once or twice a year. I cut all kinds of wood(hardwood, softwood, large diameter, small diameter). I seem to have spent more time working on this chainsaw, than the amount of work I got out of it. A few drawbacks for me was the chainsaw was a gashog. I would run out of gas too fast. Saw was a bit cold blooded. It would take me a few minutes to get the saw running and keep it running. Once warm, it ran quite well. I spent a lot of time sharpening the chains. The chain was constantly jumping the bar, chewing up the chain and the sprocket. You have to keep this chain tight and tighten way too often while cutting wood. I changed the 18 inch bar and chain out for a 20 inch bar. Wow, what a difference. I really liked the larger bar and chain for cutting, but it was short lived. Smoked the clutch and chewed up the sprocket. Repair parts are discontinued and not available anymore. That makes this saw JUNK!
