My Snap-on guy gives me a new tool when one breaks, then he rebuilds and resells the refurb'd broken tool. I've never even been questioned, and some of the breaks were definitely abuse...

Just a rumor??? :) That is also a great idea... and I still have the old Crapsman if I really get in a jam. How much can a guy expect to pay for another Stihl 20" bar, and a couple of chains?

So here's another one for you... Went down to clean up, and fired the saw up... and it didn't do the same thing it did earlier today. Full choke, popped it no problem, partial choke... it caught but only ran for 1-2 secs. No choke, it starts and idles, but has a 'boggy' response intially. I...

Thanks. I actually have a few of those, as I have a torch in my garage. Good idea. Now, hopefully I haven't already killed my new saw...

Next question - I think I know the answer, but I just want to be sure. I most likely didn't damage anything other than the chain by getting it in dirt? The oiling hole is still clear, bar is still straight (but some paint is gone), and the saw still starts right up. I assume I should clean...

The chain definitely touched dirt, more than once. I'll be more careful about that next time. I didn't know it was a chain killer! But I could surely see that being the cause... and it seemed to go dull when I was bucking the first tree, which would be when it touched dirt. The trees have...

So I'm an ex-cityboy, becoming countryboy. I don't know a lot about saws and wood, but I'm learning. We've moved out to the middle of nowhere in NC, and I'm clearing a small lot to build my shop (for my other sickness - race cars). I felled and bucked two trees today to get started. These...
