    Help with 026 please

    I have an 026 that idles and runs great. The saw can be hard to start after sitting up. When I move the master switch down to choke the flap on the filter choke seems to make a good and tight seal. However the throttle doesn't move at all. The black plastic parts that are supposed to open the...

    MS 026

    I cut a tree for a friend yesterday I didn't expect or ask for any payment, it was just a favor for a friend.

    MS 261 hard nose bar question

    I have wanted to put a hard nose bar on my 261 for a while now. I inquired about it at the closest saw shop and I use the term saw shop loosely (the closest REAL saw shop is a hours drive from me). They all told me that I would have to change my rim sprocket to a 3/8s pitch and buy a 3/8s 60...

    Poison Ivy

    I've got it. Does anyone have any good remedies to get rid of it. I would like to avoid steroids as they screw with my blood sugar to much? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First fire in new boiler

    When I built my house three years ago, I put in masonry fire places. My wife didn't really want a wood stove so I left them open. For the last three years we have used a heat pump and burned the fireplace from time to time mostly for ambience. This January, after three years of freezing to death...

    MS 180

    I picked up a MS 180 for little of nothing today, figured it would be fun to play with. This thing takes a minute to open up when you hit the throttle. It's like it bogs down for a second, then it opens up. The carburetor has no adjustments that I can see. Does anyone have any advice on what to...
