Wow, talk about reviving an old thread! I dont know if it will do anything really, i still have never used it! Its setting exactly where it was when i started this thread!

I have the max air flo system for my 066, and i know they make them for the 044/046's, but has anybody made one for an 036? I would like a better, higher flow filter than the stock filter. Any ideas?

Depends on the saw. On my 066, I wash the foam pre-filter out in gasoline, and re-oil it. The inner element i blow out with compressed air. It has lasted for years, and looks new. The flocked filters i separate in half, and spray them from the inside out with Brakekleen. The Tri-Chlor in...

If anyone is still looking for an 056 parts saw, i just put mine on ebay. I was going to fix 'er up, but just lost interest. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4352970455&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

The future is allways a little uncertain. I think I have accumulated enough parts saws to last me a lifetime but...everytime i see a box of parts at a flee market or traders fair, and they are orange and white......I stihl have to pick them up!

Hey there Russ, good to see your still around here! I dont have near the cutting to do this winter as i did last year. I have a lot of maintenance cutting to do. Lost of trees hanging over the fence lines, and then there are some saplings trying to grow in the fencrow i cleared last...

Well, this isnt too much chainsaw related, but, this is the only forum i post in, so i gues its relevant. I have been away for the summer, as i am only a seasonal user! This weekend i need to tune up the 036, sharpen it, and cut down a few ash trees for the bbq....Long story there..was...

I do plan on attending this auction, but not for the saw. But, I will post back the price it brings. Any gueses on what you guys think it will go for???

Really, this probably belongs in the off-topic forum, but there are a ton of other threads related anyway, so i thought this is a good place. If you all have read some of the Art Martin threads, and seen the pictures, there are several old cross cut saws shown. Like this one, Its at a...

Count me in, although i dont really have a saw to race, but what the heck, i will give it a try!

Daniel, I can not offer any advice on sharpening. But, I have wondered about these chains for a while. What do you think of them? Did they hold up pretty well in your opinion? What have you ran into with them, fence and such? Sorry to ask questions instead of give an answer...

The pieces missing on inside the flywheel, on the tapered bore. When they sheered the woodruff key, part of the keyway was torn, or broken out of the center of the flywheel. Other that than, there is only 1 fin missing. Thnaks, Matt

Yes, its the SEM ignition. Looks like the flywheel is pretty well shot. When whoever sheared the woodruff key, it took a couple pretty good chunks out of the flywheel. Parts are starting to add up on this one!

046, Changing the cyl base gasket from the .031 thk paper to the manilla paper makes a small, but i think noticible change in compression. Plus, thats a good mod to make if you are changing cylinder/piston anyway. I have heard of people polishing both mating surfaces, and using a...

Thanks for the info! I will check the flywheel tonight. I think it is one piece, but i will double check. A dual port muffler would be pretty cool on this old saw.

wow, the picture worked...How cool!

True Russ, I should have put a discplaimer on my first post. Yes it would a little scary for a newbie to tune it this way, leading to a very expensive lesson. On the bright side...that would be one more saw i could pick up from the dealer needing a rebuild! I need to work on the wording...

I checked out that 056 saw I picked up saturday morning. It does have pretty good compression. The muffler is shot. I am not sure what somebody did to it, but it is smashed, and has chisel marks all over it. It even had a 3" long drywall screw holding part of it together...whatever works i...

Why would i want to lower the rakers, or sharpen the chain???It is cutting like a mad...throwing chips a mile! I really dont think its possible for it to cut much faster. It is ported/polished, and muffler modded. It took me a few years to get the sharpening down, but i have it. Thanks...

Thanks! I will have to do a search for the same thing. I just got a new gigi cam, and the pics are a little large.
