No doubt they're great saws, especially for the price. Them and the 590 are far and away the best new 60cc for the money IMO

I was considering it to , lol
Usually, you can clean up the cylinder, buy a Meteor Piston and be back in business. However, first you have to find out why it is burning up. Sounds like either an air leak, or the carb is adjusted too lean (the Hi needle). Luckily, 046s are easy to work on.
Check all your rubber first ... fuel line, impulse line and carb boot. Your seals may also be bad, but often that means the bearings are bad, and the case has to be split.
I did just replace the seals once on my 044 (the bearings were good).
Often if a saw feels "too strong", it is running too lean.

Mine's all stock with 331k miles on it and here's my mileage data over the last 12,152 miles. Best was 48.82, worst 41.50. 95% of my driving is a 44-mile round trip to work through county roads and some state roads.

I saw a guy on Facebook who has 2 brand new old stock 125s. He's selling one of them for $4,000 and keeping the other.
Why beavers make such big chips when cutting down a tree.
NOS , that pretty cool , people have big pockets when it comes to something like that,

It'll sell though.
Things, recreational wise, are slowing down, so I'll start a thread on it in a month or so when I start to work on it. Thanks
Yea, there still out there lucky B-sterds
The more I do the further behind I seem to get! Going into this week the only thing on my calendar was a lunch meeting Wednesday. I had all good intentions of running my saw(s). That never happened... "Must do" things at my parents' home used up Monday, Tuesday and the rest of Wednesday. Today, after ordering parts for some of my Stihl outdoor power equipment (the stuff has been well used!) and picking up some supplies for my parents' house I planned to go back to my parents'. When I went into my walkout basement shop to get tools there was water on the floor... a lot of water! A quick inspection suggested it was a bad fitting on the hot water heater so I shut it down.
Then there was a mad rush to clean things up with the wet/dry vac and then move on from there. The worst part of the clean up experience was that the water had gotten into the very bottom of my gun safe through the anchor bolt holes. This despite being elevated off the floor on PVC boards. It seems that I gave the concrete guys too much credit for having a level floor when I picked that spot. It turns out the safe was in the lowest part of the floor! Dealing with that was a PITA... every gun had to be removed and wiped down. Most had plastic or rubber butt plates but others had steel, brass or wood butts (English stocked SxS shotguns). I don't think there will be permanent damage to any of them as they've been well cared for. I've got fans running to dry the safe and basement out.
After the clean up I diagnosed the heat pump hot water heater. Water was coming out of the cover plate around the upper heating element. Initially it looked like the leak was the connection between the element and tank. After disconnecting the wires and wiping it all down I put the tank under pressure with my compressor... It turns out there is a pin hole in the tank just below the element.
Oh well... What makes me concerned is that we installed two other heat pump hot water heaters at the same time... at my parents' and my brother's houses. I have "good water" compared to those other locations so I can expect to do all three in short order. Tomorrow I'll pick up a new one... Arrow points to leak.
Another week shot! It's a good thing I'm retired and have been vacating my government and fraternal organization offices in recent weeks so I have time for myself.

Got 47.28 this tank. 591 miles 12.5 gallons till it clicked.
don't know who's crazier, the guy asking $4k for that saw or the person willing to pay that much for it. I'd love to have one, but wouldn't/couldn't think of entertaing a price like that.
Hey guys. I know there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on here.
Looking for recommendation for a handheld GPS (for land use, not water). I am more or less looking for a small landmark in a chunk of very heavily wooded land and want to trace my steps so I am not missing any ground or repeating myself. No cell service in given area so phone apps are not helpful.
Any suggestions?

I had a Garmin hand held gps years ago. Think it was called a trex or Trax. Was pretty decent. Map left a snail trail wherever you walked. I don't remember what I paid for it, but I'm certain it wasn't real expensive. Biggest downside to it was it was only as accurate as how ever Many satellites you could hook up too, needed at least 3 or 4 to work. I'm sure they still make something like it.

Well this toy is about done, maybe add a bi-pod
Thinking I need to get the reloading going again, want to try and dial in the 7-08 a bit better
And then…. a .243 Remington 700 fell in my lap for a price I couldn’t say no to….
I dunno what’s worse cad or gad, I still need to put the 272xp back together…..
Oh and the other handful of saws I’ve been neglecting
