    Withdrawn Homelite 750 project

    These saws almost always have a bad intake boot. That is most likely what is causing it to lean out, and probably what killed the top end. Ethanol gas eats these boots up quick. I think the boots are still available.

    088 clutch looks hot (pics)

    Don't judge if it is bad by the color. It is bad if it does one of two things: 1. Grabs at idle. This would mean the springs are most likely shot. 2. Slips at high speeds. This would be quite obvious. You should never cut at anything other than WOT, and the main reason for this is that the...

    Clearcoat over Stihl Grey Paint

    One thing that works really good is Minwax Helmsman Spar Polyurethane in a rattle can. Doesn't wrinkle and is very resistant to gasoline. I apply it before the base paint is completely dry.

    2018’ Upstate NY GTG

    This thread really quieted down. Everything is still a go right?

    Anybody running the Chinese Stihl knockoffs?

    I bought an MS380 knockoff from DHgate.com I have also bought an 090 and a 372 clone from them. They ship direct from China, and are a bit cheaper than stateside pricing. I immediately put big bore kits on the 090 (it is an MS070 clone) and the 372XP (it comes as a 365). The 372xp really...

    My latest truck

    Picked up a 96 Dodge Ram Cummins with 200K miles on it. Around here this truck is a unicorn, because it has zero rust on it. I painted the bottom of the body with bedliner and changed the bumpers. The front bumper is off a 2012 Ram with conversion brackets that I bought on Ebay. It is a...

    Straight-Gassed

    Yes 102 octane low lead. For some strange reason they won't allow you to put ethanol gas in aircraft, lol. But of course it is perfectly fine for everything else. This gas will never varnish up. It does evaporate quite a bit faster than pump gas.

    Straight-Gassed

    I have never done it either. I have two dedicated 5 gallon jugs, and a 2 gallon filler jug. When the 5 gallon jugs are empty, I run down to the local airport and fill them with 102LL fuel. I then mix in Amsoil Dominator oil using a 3 oz. Dixie cup, 5 cup fulls per jug. No ethanol, about...

    I think we should have a mini mac throwing contest. I can bring 2 I think.

    2018’ Upstate NY GTG

    GM just went bankrupt a few years ago. Their trucks can't be that great. Of course Chrysler has been passed around more than a hooker at a bachelor party. My big problem is that I like to hop everything up, to the point that it blows up....... Chainsaws included.

    2018’ Upstate NY GTG

    I'll be there this time. On the way to the GTG last year, the head gasket blew on my truck.

    Want to Sell MAC SP 125

    That's what you get when you don't include a price.

    Want to Trade Ms661 full wrap handle wtt

    Best bet is buying a half wrap and then selling your full wrap.

    What's on your Chainsaw Dream list?

    Solo Super Rex Stihl 090 AV One of those giant Skil saws, can't remember the model. That would just about complete the collection, lol. Every other big saw mentioned in this thread I already have. My 3120xp doesn't run on nitro though. Somebody should have said a Mac 125/101b Kart saw. Those...

    Building a SP125C / 101B Kart Saw

    The freakin compression is so high, that I can barely get it to turn over. Every time I try to start it I think that I will break the starter or pull cord, or my arm for that matter. It will start on the third or fourth time that I get it to turn over for more than one revolution. Nothing at...

    Want to Sell Stihl (090?)

    It is a little steep based on the pictures, but it is listed as obo. By the looks of it is more like an $800 saw.

    Building a SP125C / 101B Kart Saw

    I own that saw, and it still looks great. I have only made a few cuts with it. It is really difficult to start. The tank leaked, but I sealed it up with Casewell Tank Sealer, and it has been good ever since. A little bit of the paint peeled on the tank, and I touched it up so that it is...

    Price on a mcculloch super pro 118?

    The man to talk to about those saws is Leeha. He has about 30 of them, and I think 3 are yellow. Good luck prying one of them out of his hands.

    Price on a mcculloch super pro 118?

    Just a regular 166 is worth over $1000 here, so a good SP118 is worth more, mainly because the shipping from Australia is pretty steep. It is one of the "holy grail" saws for muscle saw collectors in the US in my opinion. I have one, but sorry it is not for sale.

    Old time saw porters "the legends"

    I have a stock 2094c, and it runs like a ported saw. It is a beast, by far the most stout 90cc class stock saw I have run.
