Just curious why you are running 40:1? You state that it seems lean, since 40:1 is leaner (less gas per volume) that 50:1 and Husky recommends 50:1 and since it is an auto-tune carb I would think that viscosity would come into play with fuel metering. Your other saws are manually adjustable so...

In addition to a good saws at a good price it is hard to beat Echo's 5 year warranty. The 562XP has a 6 month warranty:frown:.

Funny how the cheapest customers that you have to cajole to get paid are the biggest complainers and always want free help. I agree that you are charging too little. Some people see a cheap service rate and think you have sub par service, double your rate. Keep track of your good customers...

I looked at the link and the nearest is 200 or so miles away, but thanks anyway. I will see if I can get in at the Marina airport. Funny how it costs so much more not to get something added to the gas. The joys of CA.

After rebuilding most of my saws carbs in the last two years I want to find an inexpensive source of non ethanol gas. I am about 25 miles from Laguna Seca and they do have Sunoco offroad 89 octane unleaded gas for about $8 a gallon last time I was there, 112 leaded race gas is the same price...

Why would anybody want to take the carbon off of yer piston dome and combustyon chamber, that's just extree compression going out thee muffler? It's like bathing with soap. Crazy talk!

If you open up the adjuster hole is there any adjuster pin wear issues when you use a Stihl power head on a drilled out bar? Wouldn't think there would be but just curious.

I think I am done with cheap oil. This month I finally decided to tackle three large storm damage live oaks that fell last year. All of the trees are on hill sides so there have been a lot of undercutting on stressed limbs. I have most of a case of Stihl bar oil at my ex-girlfriends house...

I think I am going to get one after Christmas. I was going to build a new splitter to get more speed, but if I start from the ground up with new components I think I would end up spending more then the cost of the Speeco. I currently have a 22 ton hydraulic vertical/horizontal splitter that...

I have two saw and one trimmer with them and I have only had one problem and it was my fault for rushing. I found that I have to be cool headed to use the flippies, they like slow and precise or they will spite you. I like them better then my screw caps though, but them again I may be over...

I have the same saw in pieces as a project saw and I got excited for a moment thinking I could put a large top end on it. Glad you caught your problem. Good luck with your rebuild. You might also want to get a carb rebuild kit while you have it apart.

I too bought a few gallons of Tractor Supply oil when it was on sale. I find it to be too thin and flings off too easily. Cutting dry wood with it my bars get hot and the chains get pitch build up. I decided it is better to use Motion Lotion, Husky or Stihl oils. It costs more, but is less...

I really like .325 Stihl RM chain it holds up well in dry wood. I saw that you were looking for a safety chain. The RMC3 is the safety version of the RM/RMC and for a safety chain is cuts very well and is quite sooth running. I have been cutting storm fallen hardwood trees from last year...

I think the 260 is a bit stingy on bar oil. With my 16" bar and .325 chain it just oils enough in dry fallen timber. I know most people cut green, but I have some storm damaged trees from last year that I am just getting to. I don't know how well it would lube a 20" bar, it would probably be...

I am trying to follow the flow of this tread and there is none. Since many saws are being phased out due to the EPA there are fewer and fewer top end saws. I went to my local dealer and all I saw in the Husky line was 200 and 400 series saws with a single 576xp. I was also interested in a...

Like stated above the 260 usually comes with .325" x .063" chain. If you look at the bar the size of the proper chain will be stamped in it. The .325" generally give better results then the 3/8" chains and cut smoother. The saw sounds like it is trashed to me. I'll give your buddy $150 for...

If you use a lubricant won't it build up crud under the guards? Also I would think the wax and debris would make the wheel retain more heat because it would block pores reducing heat exchange with the air. As mentioned above commercial knife sharpening for industrial slicers use compressed air...

My girlfriends birthday is coming up and I am getting her a pair (not full wrap) so she will leave mine alone. Maybe a helmet as well. She will actually enjoy her gifts; well I am at least 99% sure.

I have one of the new cat equipped blowers and I was thinking of making it breath as the muffler outlet is tiny, but I stopped before I started due to the carb. Are those tiny recessed screws adjustable with a special tool or are they permanently set as stated? I did remove one of the plates...
