Makita 7300/7900 AV -- Easy DIY Improvement
HomeDepot Canada had a good online price on the EA7300P and so I ordered one. It arrived promptly and for the most part I'm incredibly pleased with it -- starts quickly and loads of torque. One thing I noticed that I disliked fairly quickly after unboxing was that if you roll the saw on it's... -
Husqvarna 562XP winter kit tips
One mild annoyance I have with my 562XP is the winter kit. In general, I think it's great but my two complaints are: the instructions that it comes with don't describe what all the parts are for. the air plug that closes off the hole from the air box to the cylinder is just a loose thing... -
Husqvarna 562XP spark plug tightening torque question
My workshop manual (i.e. one I downloaded) indicates that the correct tightening torque for the spark plug on a 562XP is 18-20Nm. That's 159-177 inch-lbs -- and it would seem to be around the normal range for a 14mm threaded spark plug, but it seems really high for a little 10mm thread spark... -

Stihl 056/045 Clutch-side bearing source idea
I stuck this in an old thread, but I'm giving it a bump because I want some opinions on whether my idea on clutch-side bearings for an 056/045 would work. See below: On a related but different note, I also noticed that somebody gives the 'standard' bearing number for the original bearing... -
Identifying Carlton rims
I usually buy chain and rims for my saws from my Carlton chain dealer -- there are local Stihl and Oregon dealers I could buy this kind of stuff from, but I've been happy with Carlton and the price is better. I had always assumed that the rims I was getting were Carlton, but I recently...
