    Lawnmower engine for CSM?

    I don't know if this helps but I've played around with racing go-karts and a Honda clone 6.5hp engine. Harbor freight sells a very nice Honda clone engine on sale for about $100. Note they are a horizontal shaft though. The good news is that there is a tremendous amount of upgrade parts...

    Black Walnut

    I'm a bit of a lurker here, but I'm not sure what sticker means? Is that the sticks used to separate the slabs after the wood is cut?

    FS Black Walnut log - Allentown, PA

    Sorry to the AS moderators but I couldn't find the appropriate place in the Classifieds for this posting. I'm listing this for someone else, so here goes. A black walnut tree was up rooted in a storm late last year (I think Hurricane Irene). Because of this only a few feet of the top of the...

    Need AS advise - newbie interested in milling a Black Walnut log

    Old Blue & BlueRider - Thanks. Some very helpful information here. It sound like the attics is out, which is okay. It just seemed like a nice out of the way place which can act like an oven in the summer. I have looked at the alaskan/granberg type mills and like the idea of using an...

    Air Filter cleaning

    This is what I do. Just be sure to blow from the inside of the filter out, to avoid embedding the dirt in the filter.

    Need AS advise - newbie interested in milling a Black Walnut log

    Here's my situation I have access to a very nice black walnut log which is about 20' long and the diameter goes from about 24" to +30" at the base. This section has one slight bend otherwise it's very straight with no branches. The tree was about 75-100 years old and was up rooted by an ice...

    Looking at a Stihl 066

    Brad, I would agree with you if he is paying less than $300. But if someone is paying more than $500 or $600 for a 10 year old saw. I would highly recommend having it checked it out. And if the buyer is not able to check it out, then find a dealer and spend a few bucks to have it checked...

    Looking at a Stihl 066

    I'm assuming this is a working saw, so taking that in to consideration you will most likely being looking at $500+ dollars. For this kind of money I would definitely do the following: 1) Remove the muffler and inspect the piston for scoring. 2) If you have the ability I would highly...

    Annual maintenance on MS260

    Blow it out with compressed air. I would suggest removing several of the covers too. Also a new air filter might be in order. Edit it looks like H2H already suggested this.

    Meteor Cylinder Kits MS660

    I will offer you another option. Sell it to me. No seriously. :msp_sneaky: Currently I'm in the middle of a 066 rebuild and I've talked to a few of the saw builders here and they have all recommend OEM parts. I'm sure the BB kits and the meteor kits are okay but I decided to go OEM because...

    Hickory - tearing my chain up bigtime.

    Erik - I've been cutting a lot of hickory latey (some shag but mostlyl bitternut hickory) and here's what i've learned: 1) if your oiler is adjustable turn it up all the way to help avoid overheating. 2) DON'T PUSH THE SAW. Let the saw cut, the chain will last much longer. 3) the...

    Changing pitch from .325 to 3/8 on my 026

    I agree 100% with J2F. I too did the conversion and went back to .325. You will lose chain speed because the 3/8-7 rim sprocket is bigger in diameter than .325-7. The only reason to ever run a 3/8 on a smaller saw is because all your bigger saws run 3/8 and you are too lazy to change the...

    Crank Seals on a 026.

    Does anyone know where to purchase the Stihl seal puller for a reasonable price? I contacted my dealer and they wanted $230 for it? I've seen posts where some people here have gotten it for $130. Thanks.
