Just acquired an old 015 top handle saw and it’s missing the black plastic choke lever and the air filter. Appears everything else is there If someone has anything I’d be very interested. Thanks!
So I was at my lol Rural King this evening and thought I'd try out a TRILINK bar and chain combo, since they were only $29.99 and everything is 12% off (after rebate of course) I figured that if I was gonna buy one, now was as good of time as any. Sure I'd rather have a STIHL bar, but I just got...
A while back, a guy I go to church with gave me an 028 AV Woodboss EQ. He thought it was blown up for whatever reason. It was free and came with a STIHL hard case, so I didn't care. Turns out the plate under the carb diaphragm was completely full of sawdust. It came out like a biscuit. The...
The other day a guy from work called me up, because he was having problems with his 435 Husky. He said it sat for several months (apparently somewhere moist cause the bar and chain had fresh rust) and got it out to do some work around the farm. According to him he got it fired up and then it...
So I went to the gas station to fill up my cans and accidentally started pouring it in my Mixed gas. The Yellow HEET isn't supposed to be used with 2-strokes because it has methanol in it. I'm guessing less than an OZ (probably less than 1/2 Ounce actually) went into the 2 gallons of fuel. The...
Dad's 046 magnum has the original air filter (and everything else) that has never been changed, but he does clean it. Lately he said it's been losing power as he cuts with it. Says it's fine when he starts and then bogs down progressively. He decided he wanted me to put a new carb and filters in...
Started tearing down my open port Husky 55 today. Bought it as a parts saw, because it was bell to be blown up, turns out the spark plug threads were stripped. So I figured I'd pull the jug and fix it and while I'm at it, do some port work and few other misc mods. Has anyone done a timing...
The other day I saw my neighbor at church and long story, short....he dropped off a STIHL 028 Wood Boss AV with the "electronic quickstop" He claimed that his dad had it for years and then passed it on to him, he ran the guts out of it until it started "loosing power once it got hot." He also...
The other day, my buddy gave me an old David Bradley (Sears) U4D model 917.60036 I believe. It's got the AH-47 and the kill switch by the carb. Tonight I started fooling around with it and the starter doesn't want to catch like it should. I took the cover off and sprayed some lube down on there...
Monday I drug out my Grandpas old Mac 35A. I didn't know it even existed really. It's not been ran in close to 40 years I'd say. I can hardly find any info on these style Macs, other than old adds, fuel ratio arguments and I did find the exploded parts view of a model 33. Here is what I need to...
I've got a STIHL 028 AV SUPER Wood Boss with electronic quick stop, that has a bad piston and cylinder. Apparently the 028 is one of the few STIHL models that haven't been duplicated by the Chinese, so a replacement P&C would run me upwards of about $90. I was about to trade it off or part it...
Just got an email this morning stating that BlueMax is now sold at Rural King....well online anyway. BUT they're on sale! I'm not looking to buy one, tho I would like to try one. However I am interested in they're sharpener. $30 for an electric sharpener seems worth the price. Anyone had any of...
My dad has an old 056 that he hasn't used for years....a few months ago he decided to take it to the shop and get tuned up just for the occasional use. The mechanic said the cylinder looked fine and he actually had it running, but that he was pretty sure it needed a crank bearing and that they...
Recently a told my wife to have my mother in law keep an eye out for old and/or broken down saws. We live in southern Ohio and she lives in Conway SC about 30 minutes from myrtle beach. She always seems to find me some really cool stuff down there. They've got some connections at a recycling...
Since before Easter I've been working on my Papaws late 80's model 50 Husky. I'm a pretty decent engine mechanic...but 2-strokes turned out to be more than I bargained for haha. Anyway, the saw had a ruined piston and cylinder, had them off in less than 20 minutes. 10 minutes and $23 on eBay...
