this is a 6 sided cap and I can't see a tube on the underside. There is a vent hole that is molded into the cap that has a 90 degree turn which opens out the side of the cap.

I know this is an old thread but I just started having problems with a Homelite 150 that is pissing gas out of the cap. A small hole that looks like a vent in the side of the cap. The saw has never done this in years of use. Not sure what to make of this. Any insight would be appreciated.

Stick with it Brad.

Does anyone here have an owners manual available to verify how long a bar this saw will pull?

Can anyone tell me if the acresinternet data on the 038 AV is accurate? They list this saw as being able to pull a 32" bar? It is a great little saw but not sure it is up to that much bar without a significant loss of HP.

Thanks for the trade offer on the 038AV but I think I will hang onto it for the time being :cheers: The C5 has a 29" Carlton bar. A bit much for the clutch but if you are careful and not dig in too hard, it will pull it. I have a tough time ripping with this saw as the noodle buildup...

Hey Eccentric, How are those C-5's running? got mine going about a month ago, put a new bar and chain on it and it has been running like a striped ape. This is also after my local Stihl dealer told me to drop it in a trash can or use it for parts.

so it is looking like a mix of 3 oz per gallon of Stihl Ultra or Mobil 1 2T with at least 89 octane fuel is a good place to go?

this wood was dumped at my place. Almost all cottonwood come from locations close to a water source like creek and stream beds. Using a semi or micro chisle chain on it.

I was told by some people that consider themselves experts that you should remove bark on some trees before bucking it. In my case they would be cottonwood trees. Bark of these trees supposed to be very hard on chain sharpness. Would like to hear what you think... :confused:

well, that didn't work either. maybe a computer class would work :bang:

Thank Gary; Still trying to figure out how to post a photo in the thread instead of the link to another window with the photo.

well, this is not working. :givebeer: A man's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer

trying this one :angry:

lawnmowertech37;949811]mjbilbo i happen to notice on your signature you still need a clutch for the C-5 ? Hi Calvin; The clutch in this saw is a 3 shoe I believe. I was told that you can find a 6 shoe upgrade but they are not common. The clutch is still good on this saw as long...

You are lucky. Had a friend a few years ago cut himself badly and opened his femoral artery with a little Homelite 150. He damn near died from that little cut. I am a weekend firewood cutter for personal use as here in Colorado, the cost of propane is really getting to be a pain in the...
