At Jokers GTG back in '05 I got to meet John. He brought with him an 044 Frankensaw he called it made from a bunch of old 044 carcasses. He told me he flat filed a millimeter off the top of the exhaust port and a millimeter off the intake side of the piston skirt. I did three cuts (down-up-down)...

I'm rebuilding a nice Husqvarna 2100CD. I bought a set of bearings off the auction website designated for the 2100. Both bearings were perfect; they pressed into the case halves with no drama. The seal for the flywheel side bearing slipped down over the crankshaft and was easily seated into the...

I was talking with my wife about getting a small wood stove for the garage, so of course today an ad pop-ups on my phone for a brand called Cubic Miniwoodstoves. I checked out their website and these small stoves look pretty nice. It looks like it would be good for burning small odds and ends...

Does anyone know what gasket material would work best for a Husqvarna 2100 case gasket?

I had a 6401 that I put an 84cc big bore kit on. I could not get it to run right. It was always too lean even with the H needle backed nearly out. I got my wire drills (I forget which size now, maybe it was 0.8mm or something like that) but I made the opening in the main jet a few tenths of a...

Interesting article for what they leave out, not necessarily what they wrote about. Anything other than wood typically requires massive, fossil-fuel consuming infrastructure to extract, refine, transport and store. With a saw and an axe, a person can gather the fuel needed to heat their house...

I was just given an 041AV by a friend who was also given it from a client he did some tree work for. I figured I'd check the port timing to see what was going on; both intake and exhaust have 145 degree duration. I was watching a video from Buckin' Billy Ray Smith where he had Donny Walker on...

Brad, do you know the part # for the coil to get with the EL48 carb?

Has anyone tried this style of crankcase splitters for Stihl saws?

Nice! I both love and hate the smell of red oak. It's a great firewood and there are so many red oaks around here that it's usually 80-90% of my firewood mix. The rest usually being maple. But, man, that smell is nauseating. (Good hinge on that stump by the way...). Where did the blue covers...

Does anyone know the part number for the coil on a 2260 that matches the EL48 carburetor?

Not just EAB but also the ALB (Asian Longhorn Beetle). Severe outbreak a few years ago had the fed's attention due to the likelihood of affecting the maple syrup industry in USA and Canada.

I failed to pay attention to the connection of the kill switch wire on my T540XP when taking it apart to replace a torn carburetor boot. Now that I've got it back together, I have the small blue kill switch wire that comes out of the handle into the carburetor area, but I don't see any where to...

Excellent tips. I have a Sawzall and long metal bar, so I can try those tools to see how it goes. Thanks for the help guys!

An elderly neighbor is asking me if I can remove a stump left behind after a tree crew took down a 24" diameter maple. He dug around all the roots so the stump is pretty exposed. There's about a foot of wood above grade. Other than not running the chain into the dirt and rocks, are there any...

Nice! I was picking up some fuel at the local saw shop and a guy was outside with one of the salesmen firing up his new 572XP. I was/am very envious.

Thank you DND9000! That's a huge help.

Buckin' Billy Ray on YouTube has some great videos on getting down in the gullet in order to get a nice beak on the working corner. All my life the sharpening instructions said not to have a beak on the working corner! Following Billy Ray's method of a few strokes to clean out the gullet allows...

I need to get a pull starter side cover, air filter and air filter cover. I visited my local Stihl dealer Saturday and the parts desk tech informed me there is a gap in the parts list depending on serial number. I didn't have the SN with me and now the dealer is shut down due to the coronavirus...

I think those little nooks and crannies are there to hold the melted butter...just kidding (that's an old expression from a advertisement for breakfast muffins). Actually, my sinister take on this situation is that those hollowed out areas are designed to reduce weight for advertising purposes...
