I see this saw is still available, and now down to $175 :cry: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/424412264.html

Yep!!! Won't be catching me buying that any time soon!!! Really, the solution is simple. Instead of worrying about what oil best protects the B&C from heat/wear, simply limit what causes heat/wear in the first place. Keep your chains sharp. (not that it hasn't been said time, and time...

The original poster?

Wow MSH, you sure picked up a lot of heat for daring to question the price of Stihl. But I also notice that nobody could answer your basic question of 'what makes premium better?' for five full pages now. I don't have an answer, and doubt there is one. The only thing premium is the price...

Well, on a serious note, I have a similar problem on my 372. It's the oil tank vent which exits (surprise, surprise) right between the bar studs. Makes for a god awfull mess, just as you describe, when the saw is idling or after shut off. What's happening is, the cool oil is expanding from...

You must be mistaken. 2000ssm6 says all Stihls are winners and there are no leakers. And if he said it, it must be true.

A buck, ninety-nine to hear a saw rev on my phone? I wasn't sure before, but I think I can safely say now, that Gene Simmons must be CEO of Stihl. :sucks:

This must be a mistake. When did Husky become China clone worthy? :monkey:

OK, I guess it's my turn to ask . . . . . . . What oil are you using for the bar?

Neg worthy? I don't think so. It was just observations, good or bad, not a problem. I only ever negged one time, and it was for someone making a Stihl bashing comment. Wonder what 2000ssm6 thinks of that?

I'm not sure you've conveyed your message. You need to be more clear. :laugh: Yea, I wont argue that the monotone color makes it look like a cheaper saw than it's two toned rival, but aesthetics don't mean a whole lot to me. It's what's under the hood that matters to me. Mechanically, I...

Is it possible to fit a safety bar/cable to disable the PTO/engine if there'd be an emergency?

Ummmm, No? All it takes is a bit of brains to work it and not get yourself hurt in the process. Just like chainsaws. ;)

Alright, now that everyone has suggested the two things you already said you don't want, I'll give you the answer you've been looking for. The Stickler ( http://www.thestickler.com/ ) Low cost, not labor intensive, pretty high output, but perhaps a bit dangerous. (though, what form of...

I'm afraid to ask what he uses for two stroke oil.

I know you want 404 info, but I must agree with the rest. 3/8 is the way to go. Dustytools summed it up best in both his posts.

Just an update if anyone was keeping score, turns out my oil adjust screw is not leaking oil. Just looked like it was as it migrated around. Turns out it's doing the "burbling out the little vent between the bar studs" thing, especially at idle and after shutdown. Not sure there's much I can...

Might have not gone through as many saws over those years, had ya heard. ;)

No not at all. Quite the opposite really. The strictest of them stay very much to themselves, but are extremely close-knit amongst their own. If one of the families were to loose a barn to lightning or something, the entire Amish community comes together to put up a new barn. It's an...

Around here.... ....the Amish are great. They have high level of ethics, (very religious and traditional) so you get a whole lot of work out of them for a very honest price. Their quality is typically top notch. Amish made furniture is incredible. I don't get the muffler mod joke. When...
