As if things weren't confusing enough, was in Tractor Supply today and they carry a VP Fuel that is a 40:1/50:1 mix. So which one is it? What they heck is that all about?

I just picked up an MS261C-M. So the service manager comes out with it after firing it up and making sure it was all set. I mention to him that a lot of guys recommend running it at 40:1 and he freaks out. " Don`t do that unless you want to destroy the saw" he says. What are your thoughts? What...

I went with the M-Tronic.

Stihl MS261c and MS251c both run an 18" bar with .325 chain. Why does the 261 run more links (74) than the 251 (68) ?

I`m looking to pick up a new MS261 and am looking for opinions on whether to go with the regular MS261 or the MS261C-M.

I`ve been given a couple of gallons of TruFuel 40;1 fuel and was wondering if it would be OK to run in my Homelite 360.

Is there a distinct advantage to putting a Picco chain on my Stihl Ms251?

I`m trying to determine the proper chain length for my Homelite 360. It has a Homelite bar. The only marking on it is "085" stamped into it. Measuring from where it comes out of the casing to the tooth on the nose is 19.5". The overall length of the bar is 22".

What is the longest bar that a Homelite 360 can comfortably pull?

Stihl is offering the MS250 right now for $299.00 is price is an issue.

No, everything seems to be working properly. I can move the chain when the saw is off and no signs of any melting plastic. Maybe that`s just the way these saws work?

Chain is adjusted right and it is oiling very well.

I`ve got a little Homelite 33cc that I use around the yard for small stuff. It runs extreme well but when I release the trigger the chain stops immediately. I mean ther is no movement at all when I release the trigger. Is this normal or is there an adjustment to be made?

I would think that if it ran long enough to start smoking, it ran longer than ten seconds.

If you`re interested in the Echo CS400, they have a deal right now where you get the saw, a case, oils, for $299.00.

Picked up the MS251C today. I discussed the MS250 with the dealer and he said that he had seen quite a few that as time went on, they became tough to pull the starter cord on. So, I went with the model with the EasyStart feature. I ain`t no spring chicken. LOL

I went to order a rebuild kit for the Walbro and it was $6.00 cheaper to buy a new carb. It`s probably a cheap Chinese knockoff but I figured for $12.00 it was worth a shot. Threw it on and she fired right up. Runs better than when it was new. Pulled the old one apart and found nothing. I`ll...

When I push the bulb I get straight fuel.

I`ve got a little 33cc Homelite Ranger that I was cutting with the other day. I shut it off and when I went to start it I broke the pull cord. Fixed that and when I went to start it, it will fire up but won`t stay running. If I move the choke lever in and out after it starts I can keep it...

No, I don`t believe it is.
