OK, was heading from Michigan down to Florida on saturday morning with the family. Was in about Findlay Ohio and and could not believe my eyes. In the right south bound lane of I-75 doing about 50 to 55 mph's was a 2008 (guessing a 2008) Chevy Corvette towing a log splitter! By the time I...

So I have a TSC 22 ton model. It's just over a year old. I like it and have no complaints. I like go to flea markets, auctions, etc. and every now and then I come across some pretty massive electric motors. So I got to thinking, if I ever come across one that is big enough for a splitter...

So I have this 056. Bought it a couple of years ago from another member on this site. It was a very fair deal and no complaints about the saw. Bought it for the occasional "big job" when gathering firewood. I mainly use my 028 with a 16" bar for the regular stuff. Anyways, the 056 came with...

I keep losing the muffler bolts on both my Stihl 028 and my 056. I have tried adding lock washers and they still eventually vibrate out. Got pissed yesterday and used some loc-tite 272 (high strength, high temp). Probably won't help as it can only take about 400 degrees, and I am sure the...

Picked up a 22 ton model from TSC about a week ago. Nice machine, I have split some elm, some black walnut, cherry, oak, and maple with it so far. Has split everything I have thrown at it, but I admit, I have not had any real nasty knotty stuff yet. So far, I am happy with it and the $1000 price...

Not sure what it is or who made it, but someone might find this of interest. I do not know the person selling this, just came accross it looking for something else. KD http://detroit.craigslist.org/clt/902552836.html

What is the number (or model, or type, etc.) of the the Walbro carb that I need for a Stihl 028 Super? I know the Tillotson HU is for the standard bore 028, but from what I understand, 3 different carbs were available, and I would like to try and locate one of the carbs that came with the...

Hose came off yesterday while cutting into some 36 inch oak. I want to replace it as it is probably original. Dealer part only? Also, what needs to come off? Fuel tank/carb mount? Top cover? Or both? I have had this thing apart before, but just don't remember. Hopefully that was the...

So a huge old oak came down by the side of the road on my way home from work. It blocked the road initially, and the fire dept. cut it up and moved it enough to clear the road. It is rural, farm land in between the town I work in and the town I live in. The tree crew was out last week trimming...

Just pulled the flywheel to figure out why my kill switch did not work. Turns out the thin black lead (short circuit wire) came unplugged from the spade connector on the back of the module. No problem there. My real question is: on the high tension lead (spark plug lead) coming out of the...

OK, so time for another project saw. Was thinking in the 65 to 75 cc (around there) size. Sorry, I am partial to Stihl, but have never really played with other brands. Was thinking about something like an 045. Yes, it's an older saw, but thats what I like, the older saws. Mainly used for...

OK, so I rebuilt this 028 about 8 months ago, (tecomec super piston and cylinder kit) been cutting with it since. Runs good, starts easy enough, gets the job done. Compression shortly after rebuild was 148 to 152 range. Was cleaning the garage today and came accross my compression gauge (yes...

What set up should I switch to? It has the original removable "spur" on there now. It's the type of spur that is held on by a C clip. The clip gets removed, then the "spur", then the plastic clutch cover gets removed to expose the rest of the drum, oiler gears, etc. The actual spur is separate...

Not sure if this is an issue or not. Mentioned in previous posts, stihl 028 that had the piston installed wrong from previous owner. Put in a new tecomec cylinder/piston kit (super). No real issues installing. For the heck of it, I checked compression prior to first start after rebuild and...

Been playing wioth a used Stihl 028, I bought used for $75. It had descent compression of 145ish. It did have minor piston skirt scuffing as viewed from exhaust port. Played with it by replacing odds and parts, rebuilding carb (leaky welch plug), new buffers, bar chain, etc. Used the saw...

OK, I have a standard 028 AV. Recently picked up an 028 Super cylinder kit (includes piston, pin, clips, rings). Goofed up and ordered the standard 028 cylinder base gasket. Of course, slight size difference. (Gasket material protrudes into cylinder bore of the super) Can it be s simple as...

Well, just picked up a "Stihl 028 AV electronic". I was looking for a used saw, and based on the info I found doing searches here, I decided to keep an eye out for an 028. $75 bucks later, I have a very clean 028, no bar or chain, and does have a few issues. Compression checks out at 145...

All this talk about the Dolmar 5100 has me interested. The 540 caught my eye as it is in my price range, the 5100 is a little out of my price range. Anyone running the 540's? If so, how do you like it. I had my hands on a Makita version the other day and it felt good. Reminds me allot of my...

It's a 510sp. I bought it used about a year ago. It always starts within 3 or 4 pulls cold (even weeks) and 1 or 2 when warm. Cuts good, seems to have plenty of power, for what I paid, I feel I got a descent saw. I have no problem using it the way it is. Got bored the other day and decided to...
