    Makita 6421 flooding issue

    Probably flooded from using the choke. I have a ms362 standard carb version and it will flood on choke unless it's below 55 F or thereabouts.my older saws (non strato) are much less sensitive.

    Difference of Husqvarna 550XP / 550XP.v2

    I had a 550xp v1 I bought it in 2016, used it with a 20 inch bar to help a friend take down a couple large elms. Also used it to cut 4-5 cords of firewood. I was amazed that a 50 cc saw could have that much power! It did have a hot start issue but it never failed to start, you just had to hold...

    First big boy saw

    My first experience with saws was in 1984 I was 14. My first saw was of all things a pioneer p61, yes it was too big , but I was pretty strong for a 14 year old so I set about cutting up a log truck load of lodgepole for a neighbor. My father had given me the pioneer and I told him that the 32...

    372xp X Torq. How long are you guys getting out of them before the bottom end goes?

    Easiest starting chainsaw? (50-80cc)

    My easy starting saws are a 2016 550xp and an old 266se. The 266 starts on one pull warm and about 3-4 pulls cold no compression release lol. The 550 cranks up on 1 pull warm also. My ***** is a 372xt that saw can make me mad sometimes it's about, 9 pulls on cold.

    "372xp X-Torque" ... vs 372xp disadvantage?

    The 372 xtorque is a great saw. I have cut 50 cords with mine, its never missed a beat. The pre epa xp model is a better saw to modify. I think we all know that.

    5 top selling saws in your neck of the woods.

    Husky 455, and 445. Lots of older big saws 066, 288, even a few 056 and 045 stihls being used for firewood(a good bit of big dead pines here) whats left of pro logging is mostly mechanical, so they got a 461 to use if its needed.

    What is a good 1st saw

    i put this theory to the test back in 09 i wasnt working much and i cut about 30 cords with a 455 rancher with a 24 inch bar. Only thing that failed on that saw was the oil pump. I traded a cord of wood for a wore out 034av and used it to cut another 10 cords the next season. When i got back to...
