    Shindaiwa 488 bogging down

    Easiest thing to try is a new spark plug. I run lots of Shindaiwa saws and have rebuilt quite a few carbs. Even now I don’t get it quite right on the first try from time to time. I’d double check the carb. . Reset your screws to factory spec positions and open up the idle screw a little at a...

    Store bought shed?

    I had a cover put up over an old cement slab that had been previously used as a dog run. Was able to order a custom size, and while I didn’t put it up myself, the folks that did had it done in 4-6 hours. I opted to leave the sides open but can add additional panels to the sides at any time...

    Shindaiwa saw question

    I’ve never heard of one but over time I have seen some odd models pop up from different areas of the world. I do have a couple of 550s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Where do yall go cutting?

    It’s pretty much an honor system here once a permit is required but I’ve never felt the need to take more than allowed. There are folks who take all they can just to sell and eventually it will just end up screwing things for everybody. Already too many locked gates and ditched roads in this...

    Collecting chainsaws?

    Been collecting Shindaiwa equipment (saws and brush cutters) for several years. Most common is they don’t run and need a fuel line and carb cleaning to get them running. Not very popular but they seem to run well. Reliable once set up to run. Got 50 or so runners. I’ve been running a 488 and a...

    Splitter Advice

    I would think the quality of the wood might have a big bearing on which splitter would work best for you. I shied away from splitters for many years because they didn’t appear to be tall enough to work with. The wood in our area is for the most part easy to split. I purchased a cheap pre owned...

    Easy pickings

    Been a while since I’ve gone off the homestead to get firewood. Got a permit from the state to cut close to home and had a beautiful day here to get a load. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cautious in my old age.

    I’ve got some logs down that need to be cut up. It is so dry here I am waiting for a bit of rain before I go after it. When I was younger I was more willing to take a chance but now that I’m older I will just wait on nature to remove the danger of starting a fire. I have actually cut in the...

    TK carburetor adj

    Some of the Shindaiwas route back to the tank and others don’t. I’ve never had an issue with it coming out the tube while running it. I thought that was just to handle the priming fuel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shindaiwa 695 throttle trigger

    I’m glad to hear you got it going. I didn’t find anything here that would work for you. Admittedly I haven’t run my 695 much but folks that have seem to really like how they perform. It should handle the 20” bar with ease. I did have a minor issue with mine when the spark arrestor screen got...

    The 510 had a different rear handle assembly than the 500 does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
