I'm not keen on the idea of buying a Chinese knock-off saw...or any other knock-off for that matter. However, I'm in a bind. I'm building a home that requires (5) 12"x12"x12' posts and a couple of 6"x16"x8' posts. The local sawmill I was planning to get these from is at least a month out. That...

I had about 1/4" more to cut in the back cut when my saw stopped. Geeze!!! I pull it out, start it, and heard something inside hit the saw then saw something fly out. Then the saw quit. I took the cover off and found that the E-clip that holds the sprocket on was gone....as well as the washer...

I didn't look too hard, and the lighting was poor and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. But....I didn't see an idle adjustment screw that is typical of every other carb I've been around. And my idle somehow increased to the point of my chain spinning pretty fast at "idle". What the heck?

I'm building a house on an acre...a wild acre with trees, stumps, rocks, and plenty of dirt to move around. A loader would be a huge asset around the place but also during construction with lifting beams, posts, etc. I wanted a skid steer, but...decent looking ones seem out of my price range...

I saw this thing advertised on Facebook. A sponsored ad. So, I went to the website and... though my rational side said something isn't right.... I have to say that it at least looks legit. And.... that little thing would be really handy for me to trim sage brush and similarly sized things off my...

A buddy of mine was asking me about 60cc saws and wanted to know which to get between Stihl and Husqvarna. It was tough for me to recommend the Husqvarna to him given the nightmare carb issues I had with my 500xp. But, that was a while ago, on a different saw... and I would assume (HOPE!) that...

After running only 4 gallons of gas run through my new 261 this time two years ago, I began having some issues with it at 6,000' elevation. It ran perfect at 3600' though. Long story short... though I don't know what was wrong with it, Stihl installed a new carb and vent... free of charge. The...

Made a foolish mistake and dropped a tree on my saw. Luckily, it just glanced off the handlebar. Unfortunately, the handlebar is now broken. Can Stihl parts be ordered on-line? If so, where's a good place to get them and what do these things cost?

Last year, I rented a DR 8.75 Pro-XL. It had all the power I needed...but, the wheels looked to be the weak link for me. I'd be using it to mow the center of a two-track dirt road that is very rocky. Any recommendations?

I've been absolutely tickled pink with this saw. Regardless of elevation or weather or temperature, this saw has started right up and ran perfect. Every single time. Yesterday, I ran it for a few mins and it ran perfect. Let it sit for 5-10 mins, and it wouldn't start. Smelled like it was...

My generator worked fine last month. This weekend, I turn the petcock on only to see gas start running out of the bottom of the air filter. I took the float bowl off thinking the float might be stuck or something else obvious. Everything looked fine so I reassembled. Same thing. Gas just running...

I'm using an Stihl RS23. Which one would hold its edge longer in dead wood?

The price, for a 16" chain, is $13.19 for the WoodlandPRO compared to $24.65 for the Stihl 23RS...at Baileys. Is the Stihl chain worth that much more for the non-professional who is watching his pennies? Will my Husqvarna roller guide sharpener, modified slightly to fit on my Stihl 23RS, fit...

The bar is 16". The chain is H30, .325 .050. Both have roughly 4 tanks of fuel on them. The filter was used to make a few cuts. The carb is the AT 7A.....the one that's been problematic. My saw ran perfect with this except for it stalling/stumbling after idling for several seconds. Some have...

I have the stock 16" bar on my 261. Would like something a bit lighter. Appears Stihl doesn't offer the E Light bar for the .325 .063 chain. Is that correct? If that is correct, is there something else that's light enough to justify getting a different bar? How about the Oregon Pro Lite? It...

I have a simple file holder but don't think I'm able to hold the correct angles to do a good job. I also have one of the little clamp-on contraptions by Oregon with all the adjustments. A little too involved for my tastes. I had an attachment for my Dremel. Seemed slick....until I realized how...

I'm not concerned if it has scratches and/or scrapes....as long as it doesn't leak and isn't too awfully faded. I can get a new blem shipped to my door for $51....but, due to budget constraints, I'm hoping to find a used one for less. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to part with? Thanks!

A new fuel line came with my replacement carb "kit". I don't understand whats different about this line but intend to install it. #577 50 41 If it were simply a hose, it would be a no-brainer removal/install. However, for those who have messed with them, you know there's built in grommets...

As can be seen in the first pic, I'm pointing to the new carb, and more specifically, the fuel intake which, is angled down instead of straight out like the original carb on the left. Then, if you look at the area I'm pointing at in the second pic...the little slot the original fuel line sits...
