Thanks friend. I think it's gonna take moving mountains and treatments that don't exist yet and the stars to align and god knows what else but, I'm holding out hope still as hard as it is some days.

Unfortunately for me, I can't really move much of anything over a lb or so or it makes me worse. Even talking or using my kb/mouse much makes it worse. :/

Apologies guys, my health has been horrible for last few years now and my mom has been battling cancer and I've been trying to help her. She just had surgery today that seems to have gone well. Normally when I see email updates I will log in and reply to something but I didn't get any, I guess...

Got a brand new never used 2018 395XP. Its been a while since I looked at the little label to remember where it says it was made, I assume probably Brazil but can't remember for certain now. I've been disabled since basically 2020 and can't really have fun with them anymore and times are...

I'd imagine mine is probably a brazil saw, I'd have to look, think I've got a minty 2018 that has never been run. Disabled now unfortunately and have been considering selling it to help get by. Considering the positive sentiment around the fella that just sold his lightly used one for 1150 I'd...

Thanks for the info!

Considering a stihl 261 - don't want the m-tronic. Can get a good deal from local dealer but would prefer non-mtronic version. With or without bar depending on price. 18" or 20" bar, either is fine. Used or new - however I won't be taking up any offers like I see on ebay guys asking same or...

That's kind of ideally what I wanted to avoid. I like to be able to take them apart without ruining the gasket. I didn't really think of using grease on the carburetor one too but that's a good idea I might have to try next time.

According to Acres site it's a 14 pattern for the XL-901 (square holes). C72 specs show a 16 pattern with round holes, not sure if I could make that work but maybe. Ideally would like an actual Homelite bar and not all rusted to poo. Have a rusted grenade already I don't want to use, too scared...

Thanks guys. I'm going to try the thin coat of grease for one. I don't tighten things a ton unless they are already leaking. Sometimes tightening more works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I think the gaskets are just too old and stiff, or they just plain suck I don't know, age isn't always a...

So, I think I hate paper gaskets. Sometimes they just seem impossible to seal. Workin on an old Homelite XL-901. Walbro SDC carburetor. Put a new kit in the carb, tightened the crap out of the bottom plate, still leaked air. Slow, but it leaked. Used come of the permatex copper spray slowed it...

Hi all! Have Homelite XL-901 Illustrated parts list if anyone needs. (Leon's Chainsaw shop has some great scans) NEED: Homelite XL 901 Service Manual please. And any other XL-901 or related manuals would be cool too.

Looking for both of these saws to try and play around with. Also interested in parts saws if I could rebuild them potentially for fair price. Mac having a longer bar would be nice, 24 - 28". Husky I can do with or without bar, 24" to 30" bar would be nice to have though. On the Mac would like...

I guess I'll hang on to it despite not having any immediate luck here finding parts. My health is too poor again to really work on saws much anyway unfortunately. Hopefully that will change eventually. I miss working on saws even when I know there are other things I SHOULD be doing with my time...

Hmm. I guess I'll probably take the next fair best offer I get on it then. I had a guy offer 225. I didn't really know what it was worth and thought it might be like the super expensive stihls that are 600 to 1000 bucks. Guess not. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. I do really like the design of...

Have a nice Jonsered 2139 Chainsaw for sale - only parts I know it's missing are side cover bar & chain. Cosmetic damage on spark plug cover. Have not tried to tune or mess with, just pulled muffler and piston looked OK. Runs, and pretty darn good too for sitting I don't know how long on a...

I guess I do it kind of often hoping that folks are still around. Like why not give it a shot and see maybe. Sometimes I don't even think about it, this time I admit that I didn't until Mark made note of it, heh. Maybe I won't be able to get it going after all.

I have one of these I was about to throw on ebay... but... I just can't, at least not if I can find the parts for it without costing an arm and a leg. Sounds like some of you might have the parts I need for relatively cheap. Here's what I NEED: Oiler - gear was ruined (also need the little...

I'm surprised nobody has broken a starter!

Well I installed the double pawl kit finally. Still wanted to just bind up it felt like. Pulled the decomp plug out, which was the correct plug btw, put the factory stihl decomp in, away she goes. Once it fired and ran a little I didn't have to do it again or push the decomp in. Runs fine now...
