I have two saws with the Tillotsen HS carb... and unless Mac has bolted on extra stuff, it doesn't look like the ones I have.

Thanks a lot guys... really appreciate it! I put some good money into the saw, and I'd like it to last as long as my dad's Pioneers did, which was about 30 years.

Hi guys! Just some questions about my saw: Was reading the manual, and it has a few pages on maintenance, and when to do it. Now, of course, I'm not using my saw daily, so I imagine that the manual's suggested maintenance is refferring to a saw in more constant use. Under the "Weekly...

First saws My first saws were two Pioneers I inheirited from my dad: A Holiday "G" and a 3270. Both saws right now need repairs, not sure if I'll ever get them running again... the Holiday may not be worth it... it was our go-to saw and has seen MUCH action. We shall see... However, the...

I just bought a 365 a week ago... I've run about 4 tanks of fuel through it and have dealt with some oak and younger maple. Was totally satisfied with the saw's performance thus far. I'm not a pro like some guys here... just giving you my opinion based on my use of a 365. Judging from what...

2nd Day of Work... bar length Tony - the saw came with an 18" bar. Well, after owning the saw two days, I've run through about 1.5 tankfuls of gas, and even after that, I've noticed the saw picking up a bit. Did some more cutting today... some in the morning, some smaller stuff about 8-12"...

Love at first cut... Ranger... oh yes... love at first cut... I was so amazed! My first job was finishing off an oak that had snapped off last year. There was still the bottom 10-12 feet or so... had to make two wedge cuts to bring the sucker down... that Husky cut through it like BUTTER...

FINALLY! Got myself a new saw today... Husqvarna 365. :D Got it late in the day, so I won't get a chance to try it out until tomorrow. :( I can finally get some cutting done... I'm really pumped about it... tomorrow can't come too soon! As this is my first new saw, do you gents have...

The only problem I see using a choke style carb (did think of this, as my Holiday has one), is that the choke is on the other end of the carb... the carb mounts opposite to the Holiday. Installed in the 3270, the carb (in reference to the Holiday) is mounted upside down and turned around...

Thanks for the advice guys... I'm defininately looking at the Husky 365... I think I'll be picking one up in the next couple of days.

This somewhat follows my post on my 3270... If trying to fix the 3270 is a lost cause, I will be without a saw, as my Pioneer Holiday has its day as well, I'm afraid. Now, as I can't buy two saws to replace them, what would be a good all-round saw, mainly for home use? The Holiday was...

Did the carb kit on my Pioneer 3270 today... went to start it, and fuel was leaking from the primer. Took it apart, found that the rubber seal inside was broken, hence, no prime. I'm going to call around to see if anyone has this part. If I cannot find one, do any of you have any...

Looks Good! Glen, you are a gentleman. Thanks for that link... that sure does look like the goods to me. I appreciate it. As for the price of the kit... I am in Canada, and I know the kits down in the US are about $10-12, so if you add in the exchange, my cost is reasonable. The kit and...

Hi guys! Long time no see! Anyway... got a carb kit for my Pioneer 3270 and will be doing it myself. After talking with the gent who sold it to me, it seemed to be a better idea to spend $20 on the parts and attempt it myself, rather than $75 (or more) having him do it, as he said that...

I'm in the market for a new saw too, and have gotten great advice from the guys here... Do a search using my user name, Sting, and check out the threads I've started... might be some "food for thought" there for you... You can also try entering the saw model in the search, might get some...

Re: Intended Use My situation will be as you describer there Russ, need a smaller go-to saw, as my Pioneer 3270 is just too ???? big for small stuff. As for price, there's only about $70 between the 260 and the 351, with the 260 being more expensive, but there are the goodies thrown in...

Thanks for all your input guys... I really appreciate the advice. From many of the posts I've been reading here, it seems many of you run hopped up saws. Now, I'm far from a professional user, and have visited sites like Walker's. Whichever saw I get, Stihl or Husky, do I really need the...

No, Tony... she won't be using it. It was a reference back to a previous post... I wanted to buy a new saw off the bat, but the wife figured I might be able to find a half-decent used saw... I took her along and she heard from everyone that the buyer should really beware with used saws...

Having done some reading on the site, I'm reconsidering the 346XP... most of what I've read has been VERY positive about it... factoring that into the equation, it would appear my choice would then be down to the 346XP or the 260, then wouldn't it??? I'm starting to pull my hair out here...

Well, after some time passed, checked out options in used saws (having my wife with me). As I had told her, most people we spoke to said the same thing... beware of used saws. So, long story short, she's finally agreed to a new saw... :D Anyway, was reading some posts here about the Stihl...
