    Is it just me or is the 038 Magnum underpowered

    30 years ago I was a ground man for a tree crew and slung a 038 Mag around all day. Recently, I picked one up and nearly hurt myself. I was in great shape back then but didn't need the reminder of what 30 years of blue collar rough-and-tumble can do to ya. Older and wiser. I'll stick with the...

    Japan now makes the best saws

    I like working on Husq 2** and 3** series. When they can make me mad trying to shove the carb compartment back together on a 4** series saw, I shudder to think what Honda might do.

    Japan now makes the best saws

    I agree only with the engine part. When Honda makes the entire machine, like their snowblowers or mowers, they over complicate things. The engines are a dream to work on. Their machines can be a nightmare.

    "Champion" saw in Canada

    If you want to tinker on your own saw, fine. If you want to help your buddy with his saw, fine. If you have a small business to take care of your family, they are a POS

    Yard sale Poulan 2055

    The connector was used by the factory to put two pieces of fuel line together. It likely was used to speed the production line. When you put new line in, you can throw that out. The duckbill goes in the fuel cap. Those caps are cheap so don't waste your time trying to reinstall it, as it rarely...

    Stihl quality headed downhill bad

    I can't see Honda putting out just any other old chainsaw. Seems the way they got so big is by being a leader, not doing the some old thing. Their very small four stroke is one of the few that are worth anything or I'd bet they're playing with direct injection behind closed doors.

    Saw doesn't want to run at high rpm's? (Poulan 245A) [SOLVED]

    Very nice! That just sprung to mind considering the age and that I'm always walking past the 306 sitting on my top shelf with a dead cyl.

    CAD

    If its gonna be a keeper, I barely keep track of the money. If its one that I find interesting to work on and to use a little but plan on selling it later on, I build them well, but end up spending enough that I usually only break even on. Beyond that, it has to be next to free to get and fix...

    Pole Barns

    We put up one with lean-to's on 3 sides thinking wood would be under one. Naw, equipment/toys filled up all of them in a heartbeat. Never big enough.

    50 CC Saw 3/8 or 325/

    According to some threads here, some dealers may not understand that chains can be swapped, so they might refuse to do it.

    How do you Answer "Can I borrow your Chainsaw?"

    Loan a saw and they may hurt themselves or, more likely, my saw. Neither are good. Loan a skidder and while sitting safely inside a "civilian army tank" they will destroy their splitter, their truck, their house, their garage. ---Priceless---

    Someone who ports/mods Echo chainsaw
