Too make that story worse at the time i was a field service tech for the big equipment at the dealership i got the saw from and they tried charging me for the service work on a brand new saw lol i told them I’d have worked on it myself if I knew there was going to be a charge for something that...

just a quick update after getting back on here and doing some reading thought there was something I had not tried prob cause I thought the gold star tech that looked into the prob when it was new would have tried this but anyways I started playing with spark plug gap and plugs and hit on the fix...

I also have a 280 IEM saw and when ya say hard to start are we talkin like 4-5 pulls or more I love mine but its 4 pulls on a good day and 5 on not so good if its quite a lot more than that there was a issue with the IEM on a few that super hard starts equals something wrong with the IEM so may...

just wanted to chime in an update on ms280 IEM saw had mine for 7 years now and I love it runs a 20" bar with M/M now I just a home owner that heats with wood my only gripe is it takes 4 pulls too start only stihl ive had that takes more than three but it out runs husq 450 Xtorq ms260 pro pretty...

I only have one thing to say and its from experience find a good servicing dealer and buy whatever brand they are peddling trust me you'll be a lot happier Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk

OK getting ready to get back at it fianally is been a pretty bad year so far for me (things at home more or less fell apart so its just me and my son is here half the the time so not that bad ) But I think I am running this thing way to lean I am noticing some scoring on the cylinder bore got...

this thread should be a reminder to all that read it that it realy doesnt matter what make of saw you buy if you dont have a good servicing dealer your going to have problems ! and yes i have learned this same lesson i will never buy a saw again that there isn't a good dealer close if want to...

could somebody tell me the max rpm on this saw and whether not this saw was realy set that lean from factory? it was set at 11900 but it would take it forever to get to max rpm so i broke limiter and backed the high screw out about half turn and im tellin you this thing came to life it is a...

my opinion is that their both good saws so i would go with a servicing dealer just in case you have trouble because if you do what i did it can be a pain (bought a husky 450 from a local hardware store broke the motor mount on the 2nd or 3rd tank of fuel ) i took me three months to get it...

if ya run the saw wide open with the tip 6 inches away from a peice of wood or somewhere you can see oil splatter it should put a streak of oil on it

my friend had a global that we spent more than 50 hours welding on last fall good luck with your neighbors all i can say is get a good mig welder and grinder and get busy

well got the little buger out and cut some wood it is a ton better are these things realy set that lean from the factory

the answer is simple get a 96-98 dodge 2500 with the 12v and a hand shaker i get about 22 hwy but only 15 city so it probly depends on your commute weather it is hwy driving or city driving jmho

this will be my second seson runnin sunoco 110 and i realy like it it does seem like i have to pull the starter cord a extra time when temp gets in to the teens and as far as older saws with lower comp it worked just fine in my old 028wb that didnt seem to have much comp

ok thanks i like this little saw i just seems like somthing is holding it back i straighten out the slow rev prob by gettin rid of limiter cap and puting tach on it was just wondering about the muffler i didnt think it was a strato cuz there wasnt the extra hole under the air cleaner

can some one tell me weather this is a strato engine does it have a cat in the muffler

belive me it is a whole lot easier to ask a few seemingly silly question than pay for the mistakes that will happen if ya dont lol

ok thats good yup thats the lift pump you can also loosen the line at the injecton pump to help when doing the intial bleeding

yeah i read your write up on it gonna be a while before i go much farther

i am realy hoping you removed the lift pump and not the injection pump (the thing with steel lines running to the head) as if ya took injection pump off this could open a whole new can of worms lol the best way to bleed system is use push botton or hand pump to get fuel to the injection pump...
