I'm trying to get my friend's dad's early model (white top Rancher) Husky 61 back in running shape. The tank is split at the seam. I have read that the aftermarket ones have throttle trigger issues, and so I am looking for a decent used one.

The GB bar I have for my Echo CS60S needs 69 DL, and I was hoping to shorten a 72 DL EXL chain. Do the 3/8 Oregon pre-sets (P23910) and straps (P23837) work for EXL chain? If not, does anyone have a source for the EXL 3/8 tie straps? I know that they come with the rolls, but I haven't found...

Looking for a clutch cover for a Homelite 2000. I have read that the 1020A, 1050, and 2100 have the same cover, and that the 2100S will work...

We got a pup, so I need to put up a bunch of fence. Back home, we used a bar to make a pilot hole and pounded the posts in with a 16 pound post maul. Down here, they don't even sell tapered posts. So...I built a jig around the bar clamp for a Granberg Mini-Mill:

Almost nothing I own has them, but all my buddies that leave fuel in their box-store 2-strokes and want me to clean the carb have equipment with them. The last one was a Ryobi pole saw with the bulb built in to the Zama carb. Once i got it back together I found that it wouldn't prime or run...

Been doing some milling with my 076, and was quite alarmed at the amount of dust packing around the clutch, and the cracks forming in the clutch cover. It has taken me longer than i wanted to get up to speed on milling, and I don't want to stop to be replacing the clutch springs. Looking...

...take the handle screw out, and put it back in with Loctite. Especially if you are milling. Just sayin'...

I know a lot of guys have had a lot of success working the transfer ports. It seems there would be disadvantages in terms of velocity, and perhaps bulk flow, as well as the risk of screwing up the scavenging pattern. It seems that transfer work is part and parcel of the port jobs now, but I...

The idea has come up a few times in the shiny new sticky dumpster, but it doesn't get much play there. Might just be a bad idea, but I think it is worth considering. The problem is that new members likely will have no idea what a "sticky" is, and are less likely to know that there is an FAQ...

This will clear a few things up (unless, for some reason, c and d are underepresented)...

I really shouldn't start this without having any pics. Even though I hate having my picture taken, if i could have found someone with a camera, I'd have done it. Last year I bought a 50cc Piaggio scooter because it was a 2-stroke, and it was a heck of a deal. It's fun to ride (when your...

Not a new Olympic sport, just what my Huskapoulan 141 does any time I get it within 3 feet of some brush. I thought I had the cause figured out, and was getting ready to attempt to remedy the situation when I saw the real problem. The saw was a hand-me-down from my dad, and is sporting a...

Saw this on Craigslist. What climbing gear the guy has might change the picture, but it seemed like an insane request to me:

Before I even begin, let me preface this by saying I know there are guys that do this for a living, and know what they are doing. I am fully aware I haven't the first clue about what I'm doing, and won't pretend to...but I sure had fun doing it! There is a big pine at the corner of our garden...

A recent suggestion to put porting threads in the "Modded Work Saws" forum got me to looking...and there it was in the "Hot Saws" forum. Who knew?

Got bored while visiting the inlaws, and spent the $5 on eBay to get the 1959 Oregon booklet. I thought I'd share a couple of things I found useful. Maybe it's old news for everybody else, and probably available elsewhere, but it was news to me! Seems obvious now, but I had never thought to...

Burned some fuel last week "prepping" a big oak blowdown. Got a chance today (I get 2 hours during naptime) to start bucking the trunk for milling. Finally...a chance to run the 42" bar on the 076. Got the chain out of the box and, after a few minutes of looking like a monkey trying to...

Where does the spark arrestor screen fall on your list of checks when your saw starts running like a turd? I know the list order changes from one saw to the next, and varies based on what you last did to the saw, but running through the list today just got me curious about the steps others might...

Thought I'd list some common questions and links to threads covering those questions. Please chip in, but make sure to add the links to the appropriate threads. If you want to voice an opinion on the idea (good or bad), or have suggestions, please start a new thread (e.g., what I think of the...
