    346 piped husky hello little leroi, you had better look that saw over carefully, when he ran it a oroville he came and asked me if a 346 barrel and a 026 stihl barrel would interchange. I told him of course they would. I think thats why he's had your saw so long. ken

    Piped Dolmar

    Piped 7900 Dolmar Hello Ben, Well it looks like you are getting ready for some heavy duty cutting with that dolmar. Now if you use some good synthetic 100% oil like maxima K-2 at 32-1 it should dominate the 5 cubic inch class. The saw looks nice ken

    Stihl 084 and 088

    stihl 084 Hello George, The original stock 084's just didnt run all that great stock. when we modified them they ran very well. they were designed 10-15 years before the 088's came out. Stihl realized that they could make power by changing some of thier port timing figures and some of the...
