I take it those are stihl parts ? if so how much are they ? You already stated might not need a cylinder, is there a way I/we can dertermine this before any other action is taken ? View through the muffler port ?

I have a Stihl 362, prolly 6 years old in nice shape. Started to start hard but when it started ran decent. Last time would not start so took it to Stihl shop. Was advised that it has low compression but otherwise looked in great shape. Not sure why as I ALWAYS run synthetic oil (45/1) little...

I purchased a Dolmar 7900 beginning of season after some serious thought about wether going with another Stihl 460 or try a new Dolmar. Got a lot of advise and opinions from this site which was great. Anyway went with the Dolmar and to date am VERY happy with saw. It DEFINITELY has more power...

540xp I have never owned any "climbing" Husky saw but from what I hear the old model was not very good compared to the Stihl's, at least that is what I have heard. Is the 540XP something I should consider down the road. Has anyone heard anything or have one that they can comment about...

can't shut off 200t (cont'd) Great.... now that I know what to look for it will be a "piece of cake". thanks !!!!!!!

I know there is a small 3" (I would assume grounding wire) inside the black handle and that is connected securely and cleanly on each end. (one to the frame and the other side to the spring clip that initiates the ground when you flip the switch on the handle. I checked that short wire, no...

HD Trolley cont'd I hear you pdqdl, if there is one thing that I have learned on this thread is extreme caution on side loads. I have always had a tendency to go over kill on gear to be on the safe side. Just because I have such a heavy duty trolley I probably will never even come close to...

Heavy Duty Trolley for Zip line (update info) was looking for a heavy duty trolley for a zip line and CMI makes one called "Trolley HD" rated at 22,000 with rope capacity of 3/4". Trolleys -- CMI Corporation I called CMI and talked to engineering and they said it was good to use in tree...

was working on putting an order together for that 5:1 pulley setup when pulling trees and shocked to find out that I cannot locate a high quality (or any quality for that matter) 3 or 4" Double prussik minding pulley for 5/8" rope. Lots of them out there for 1/2 but not 5/8. I only need one...

sharpening Greenteeth Cont'd I am assuming that you line up the center axis of the diamond wheel with the center axis of the greentooth, correct ? If this is the case then in your video is appears that you have to do quite a bit of grinding to allow the diamond wheel to begin cutting that...

have a 65' bucket but to date have not used zip lines. On occasion we have chipper off bucket truck and on a 4wd 3/4ton pickup and chip into woods. On some of these occasions a zip line to lower branches would be very efficient. Looked at some Youtube clips trying to see what would be best...

daimond wheel on chain sharpener Hi Shaun, just caught the comment about the diamond wheel on chain sharpener. I use the black wheels that I purchase from Silvey the company that makes my bench sharpener. I did not know that a diamond was avail. What is the difference in the standard wheels...

I started this thread and want to thank everyone for all of their valuable input, advise, tips, specs and such on 5:1's and prussiks vs friction capture devices (Gibbs and such). I learned ALOT and have accomplished my goal and now can proceed forward. I also want to thank everyone for their...

it looks like the video is a 5:1 (check out this) got some good feedback from everyone, thank you. The article on the double prussik vs Gibbs was excellent and answered my question perfectly. Everyone should check it out. In the continuing saga (debate) wether the orig video posted...

5:1 pulley system (followup) I am not an expert on pulley ratio's as I am just getting into it now but the quote below came from a document on mechanical advantages found on the net and copying it below and if it is correct then it would be impossible for the setup on youtube to be a 4:1 as...

follow up on 5:1 pulley setup got some interesting and great info. Couple of questions that i forgot to ask in my first post. Notice that everyone is using some sort of friction device knot to attached top pulley to pull line. Currently I just take the pull line quit a distance away from...

Looking to purchase (set up) a 4 or 5 to 1 pulley set up for felling trees when needed. Looked at a few videos and went thru Wesspurs catalog. Right now we have 2 large blocks and using them but since I only have one ground man there are rare occasions where I need all the pulling I can get...

Green Teeth Sharpening. I found this thread very interesting and informative. I did not realize that you (homeowner) could sharpen greenteeth. I have quite a few of them, 100+ and was thinking of sending them to a professional to sharpen as they do have to be done concave. Does anyone know of...

ms192t I have many many 200t's and 3 or 4 192's. Have to admit when I first got the 192 I was disappointed because of the power loss from the 200t but after using it for years I have to admit that when I'm in the bucket starting the job with all the small stuff the light saw is a pleasure to...

I have heard good things about the Dolmar 7900. how would you compare it to the 440/460 as far as power/weight/reliability ? the only thing that leans me towards another stihl is that I can changed bars from one to another if needbe, whereas can't do that with the Dolmar as it would be my...
