Greetings folks My HS80 has been in the shop for tuning and they are saying the carb is dead and not revivable. So on to a replacement. Anyone have an opinion of chinese brands or a source for a decent replacement please?

You weren't wrong... The 039 is the cleanest saw I own! Pic 1 starting to clean, others after a petrol wash and blowdry

Same year as I am, and has history. Used to belong to the wife of a Nobel prize winner, ran around Africa in it. Anyway, back to the saws... ;)

Need to do it sharpish. If all goes well I'll be getting my hands on this at some point...

The 039 looks clean and under used as you can see from the very intact labels. Not tried to start it yet. The 034 has a little scoring on the piston but good compression on the cord. Started 3rd pull but has been out of use so long that the chain is too stiff to go round the bar.. :wtf:

No pics yet so advance apologies... I said I'd stop buying after I found the 441, but a mate told me about an old chap that was selling his tools after heart surgery. Who am I to turn down a rummage in a well filled garage? 034 and 039, 80€ each. I walked off with the 039, I'll get the other...

Last question for the moment (probably) on this thread... Them whats gots a 044/440/441. I've just taken the chain and bar off and the burrs are horrendous. I'm looking at decent aftermarket stuff that won't cost a fortune, so 25" is a given, but for the smaller side, 15", 16" or 18" ? (Thats...

So, did I make a mistake? As of 3pm I don't think I did, although there's still the basic strip down and checkup to do. I was woken up with a coffee and a Weimaraner, which is always nice. Looked on LBC (our site for used everything and anything) and there was a MS 441, 18". I sent a message as...

The 260C has just reappeared on the same sales site I used to sell it, with €200 added.. :envy:

That sounds good. An 044 has just appeared at 350 euros. Too old? Photos look pretty good, and I know that 90min in a car for the lower 48 is nothing! There's a supply chain problem here at the moment. My go-to shop had 2 saws, both 261CM./ Another I use had a 355Rancher husky and not much else...

I sold some saws. Lovely saws. My MS 261 c / 45cm, MS 390 / 64cm and my very old jonsered 2054 turbo. The 261 was getting untuneable and wasn't getting better... I got them all cheapish, did some work on them and now have 750 euros to spend on a replacement. Usage wise I probably cut something...

Incidentally, how did you find that out? I've been looking on and off for months!

Every time I tried to post I got a server error message, obviously it was posting anyway... Is it possible to delete them? Although the first one has pics...

Great I'll have a look. Thanks!

Happy New year all, hope it goes better than the last one! I'm trying to service the carb on my Kombi but there doesn't seem to be a service kit anywhere, even in China! I can find half of it in one kit, and the other half in another but that seems a bit ridiculous. It's a ZAMA C1Q with the...

Not sure if this is a wierd one... the flywheel locating pin just sheared off. Thought it was tight but maybe not. Are they machined in to the crankshaft or can I get it out and put a new one in?
