I did the obvious. Start it up and touch that clip to the metal that flips over when it's turned off and it shuts down. That clip slides into that plastic thing perfectly. I would have thought it slid into something metal like a clip is designed for. Nope. Fits in perfect, started again and now...

The detached wire with clip end might be the reason? I would think it should be attached to something. The smaller black thing flips over and a metal clip goes into the middle when turned to off. Kill switch (Coil ground?) . It seems this wire needs to be attached to that but I don't see where...

I missed your post, sorry: Since it jumped from being a firewood cutter to something that I could use to cut fallen trees, I agree. I got my money's worth. Still want it to work, though. I also have a 362 that is a year younger, that I use 3X as much. I did what Cookies said. I then let it sit...

I actually did that. Cleaned off the plug, connected it and tried. I couldn't get a pull through. Came close to a full pull. ------------------------------------------ Okay I wrote the above and forgot to send. What I failed to do was screw the pull cover in tight so I did it again and it...

I pulled it 20 or so times and no leaking. I put the plug back in and it had less resistance. Then the resistance came back after 1 and a 1/2 pulls. But I could get it all the way, just very jerky. I then pulled it about 100 times and no leaking but I could then pull it 3 times, very jerky but...

I'm going to do that right now. DON'T MOVE. lol...thanks. I also should have said that I bent out the baffles on the muffler 10 years ago. I don't remember if I messed with the screen. Tuned it with a tach. It cut WAY better but I kind of figured this might shorten it's life. The 'gas mileage'...

Spuldup: This happened two days ago and all I did was take off the cover to check the rope. Read a few things and took off the spark plug to see if it pulled smoothly and it did. I don't know how to check for the carbon buildup. I will read and figure it out. I've fixed our pellet stove a...

Mine is not a tough to start issue. It's a rip your hand off problem. It's a new problem, I've had the saw for 13 or so years. A stronger person would just break the cord or rip their hand. Mine has always just started right up. Then it got a bit jerky. Now it is impossible to get it past 4 to 6...

I've had the 580 for a few years. I also use it to clear off snow from the cars and 4 inches or less (powder) on the driveway. Sometimes it's all I have, as my snow blower blew the auger belts this year and last year it was a cable and so on. This thing is a beast but the gas mileage is low...

FOP, you are correct. I have a powerful inverter that works with cables off my tractor battery and allows the electric saw to work. I have a weaker one that is used for electronic devices off the cig outlet. No way the saw would work off of that. I just wasn't thinking, is the excuse I will...

I guess the generator would be an issue in those stealth moments. Inverter off the truck battery or cig lighter/outlet, then.

I got the Remington this past Spring and it works good enough. But my usage will be from time to time. It does get oily like IFishsum said. At worst it can be a back up if all goes well and you buy the Stihl down the road. You can also use it for limbing in those 'have to be quiet' zones...

Click and HOLD the icon to the left of the www arboristsite at the top of your browser and drag it to your desktop. Better than a bookmark because it downloads to your PC instead of giving a link that may be dead one day. So now you have created what looks like a new icon to the internet but...

I bought one of their used carpet cleaners about 5 years ago. Amazing. I went through a Bissel and a Hoover that were both impossible to clean after using and were brittle. Plastic crap. Basically your homeowner vs. pro debate. More like pro vs. useless. The carpet is gone last year (wood...

The tool rental guy can do a search on the computer to see if any other Home Depots are selling a specific tool you may want. I saw the screen and there were 3 for sale within 30 miles. I had noticed they had a brand new saw, so I asked if one was for sale and it was sold. But, he said, if we...

So, what you're saying is don't use a tach to tune a saw with a limited coil but if you do, do the opposite.:msp_w00t:

As much as I love the saw (I tried buying one, guy lost the check :wink:, cost me $31), I'm liking that cherry cabinet into the dining room thing. Nice.

I walked into E&E a few months ago and Kyle is such a nice guy. Nice mutt too. My daughter went to college nearby but tranferred this year and so it goes. His parts are a lot cheaper than the local dealers in my part of NY. I will be buying here in the future. From when I got off the main...

I wasn't impressed with mine the first day either. In fact, I lost some sleep. Then, a funny thing happened about 10 or so tanks later: It kicked into another gear. It will happen to you too. ps Not sure of that half throttle thing. Either go all out or don't go out at all...

Maybe you meant after it's sold? PM someone who has sold multiple items.
