I've had several older Echo, Stihl and Craftsman chainsaws.

The fuel line in the Echo (16" bar) actually dissolved over time and close inspection revealed a case crack, so it wasn't worth fixing.

The Stihl (80's vintage, 20" bar) and the Craftsman (by far the oldest one, 70's vintage, 14" bar) are still working well. The Craftsman needs some carb adjustments to start and run properly sometimes after it has been sitting for a long time but otherwise it is ok. The Craftsman is actually my go-to saw because of its bar size.

I can see why saws of that vintage are available because I got one of mine from my dad when he got too old for that kind of work.
