    Some saws not seen outside Japan often

    Thanks for the photos of saws and Japan. I've become very fond of Japanese saws and would love to learn more about their history and development. Are there any brands currently sold over there which are exclusive to the Japan market?

    TSC not selling Oregon anymore or what?

    I don't buy anything small engine related there. Individual sellers on the Internet and local hardware store are always cheaper and give better service. I do buy my Carhartt jeans there because they consistently have size 40X34 unlike everywhere else.

    Is this late model Craftsman any good?

    Guido Salvage- I bought the Craftsman a few months ago, before I contacted you about the Homelite. It cost me nothing to fix. I put it on Ebay hoping someone would buy it from me so that I could then purchase the Homelite from you.

    Sand cylinder to remove glaze?

    Hey guys. I'm doing a basic rebuild on my little Echo CS-3000. Its getting a new piston ring, seals, gaskets, carb rebuild, and good cleaning. The cylinder is in good shape but has a fair amount of glazing on the inside. Would it be a good idea to lightly sand it to remove the glaze and create...

    Support your local dealer

    I support local saw dealers, they are just not local to me. I get alot of parts from Frawley's Saw Shop in Wisconsin, also BG's Small Engine in Pennsylvania. My local Echo dealer keeps very little parts in stock, they mostly just do sales of new machines. They are nice folks but I really don't...

    Is this late model Craftsman any good?

    I did get around to fixing the Craftsman. Turns out the oil tank vent tube was plugged with sawdust. Cleaned it out and now the saw oils and cuts great. I also bought a standard clutch cover and tensioner for it. As with other late model Poulans I think this saw would be way better with an...

    Ticks

    I have read that before modern insect repellents came about it was common to drink flowers of sulfur mixed with water to repel ticks and fleas.

    Echo CS-300 chain oiler problem

    I'm thinking his saw has a worm gear drive like my 3000. It's certainly the right age for a worn out oil pump.

    Echo CS-300 chain oiler problem

    Heres what I would do first. Fill up the oil and replace the cap. Remove the bar, chain and cover. Start the saw and rev the engine a few times. you should see a small stream of oil start coming out the oil hole. Your saw should have an oil volume adjustment on the bottom, turning the screw...

    Finished the ported and piped mini Mac... sorta.

    Awesome! Personally I think you should use it as a saw.

    Mini Mac 30 Carb Kit

    Your saw probably has a Walbro MDC, or maybe the Zama M1-M7. Kits are readily available on EBay. The Zama kit is an RB-19, not sure what the Walbro is. These carbs have both the pump and metering diaphragms on one side of the carb, the pump housing fits over the metering chamber. Other wise they...

    Diesel chainsaw

    I like the idea of propane and CNG. The biggest problem with them right now is what tu use for a fuel tank. I think it would be neat for the vehicles to have removable tanks like a BBQ grill, you fill up by swapping tanks.

    Ms 250

    Ebay and Craig's List are my fave chainsaw dealers. The more time I spend here the more wise a choice that seems. I did pay a visit to my local Husky and Dolmar dealer yesterday, Marksman Equipment in Lawrenceburg, KY. Walking in I immediately knew it was my kind of place. The showroom was...

    McCulloch Mac 110 leaks bar oil

    Check the T fitting, it just sort of snugs in to place with nothing holding it in. Also check your O ring between the tank and pump. Check your tank very carefully for cracks. Also, make sure oil flows freely to the bar with both the manual and auto oilers. If its getting blocked somewhere its...

    DevonPro chainsaws, info, opinions?

    Maybe Efco builds saws over there for other markets and this is an in house rebrand?

    Diesel chainsaw

    Yep. Nowadays the cost advantage of diesel has dwindled down to nearly nothing for many applications. Would love to have an F-250 Powerstroke some day though. My dads boss has one and it gets 19 mpg on the highway. By comparison that is actually a bit better than my best friend's Toyota 4Runner.

    Diesel chainsaw

    All my automobiles and garden equipment are gas, so I only have to stock one fuel. I was an auto mechanic for my first career and I know my way around a gas engine pretty well. Not saying I can't learn diesel but it would be one more thing to worry about. Gas powered tractors tend to sell for...

    Nik's Poulan Thread

    Just when I thought I had seen all the 70's and 80's Poulan rebrands I find this one on Ebay which was apparently made for the Ridgid Tool Company. I have a big pipe wrench from that firm. I don't see what they were trying to accomplish with a rebranded chainsaw but a neat piece of ephemera just...

    Stihl Dealers Getting Dropped

    My mom has two of those nominal Husqvarna mowers. Typical overpriced, short lived crap peddled to unknowing suburbanites. Cupholders and Lazy Boy sized seats atop fragile hydro transaxles and huge, gas guzzling engines to make you feel manly. I would take my 23 year old Murray 12hp stick shift...
