    Want to Buy Need white stihl ms261 fuel solenoid.

    Anyone happen to have one or access to one please? None local, and dealers are not being very helpful. I bought a version 2 saw that’s like new, but barely starts when hot. Gotta start it the dangerous way with a finger on the trigger. :-( looking for part number 1140 007 1802 Or 0000 120...

    Sold Trio of NIB Stihls - Shipping included in the prices.

    I am just happy Dan posted that perhaps a carby 462 may still be available. Thought for sure he would never be back. Hopefully he continues to buy saws and uses them and sells them on here used. Sure someone will still have their feelings hurt though.... Thanks again Dan, you be the man...

    Sold Trio of NIB Stihls - Shipping included in the prices.

    Unreal. Simply Unreal. Pathetic looser whoever pulled this stunt.... As if it was not enough for Dan to go through the headache of dealing with all of the questions, and emails, and postings, and packing, and shipping... for this? He sent me a couple loops and the shipping was over half of...

    Contemplating my 462 purchase from Dan at the moment. Perhaps in the end it was a bad call, and I should test the 500i out??? LOL!

    Sold Trio of NIB Stihls - Shipping included in the prices.

    Stellar deals. Mr. Dan sent me a couple more loops just the other day. Faster than I could have made time to get from my local dealer, at a fraction of the price, from half a world away. Based on the postage, I think I need to send him a few more bucks, as I am now CONVINCED he is loosing...

    Want to Sell New Stihl ES Light 20 and 25" 3/8 .063 Bars

    Dan always passes on very great deals, only surpassed by his fast shipping, and packaging. When you get a saw, you cut through about 3 boxes, and 2 inches of tape to get to the box that actually holds the saw! LOL! Need a saw to open the package! LOL! I just really hope is lays off.... I DO...

    How much chain do you use up before you retire a chain?

    This used to be me. Why? When I first starting using a saw, I started with a new chain, and the gimmicky tools to sharpen it. Always did a half-azz job, and I'd throw a new chain on and be happier the way it cut. As time went on, and I got smarter and more confident, I upgraded saws, and...

    Luckily I am a dope novice and don't know the particulars about this saw/brand... ...sure looks purdy... ...ok, moving on, and not coming back! LOL! (an aside, Dan is the man..... bought from him 3 times, one in fact today.... and all for a song..... buy without worry!)

    Has anyone sold/purchased many chainsaws on Arborist Site?

    Bought from here from our Greek friend. Great deal, insanely fast shipping from across the pond. No reason to leave the couch...

    Looking at either a Stihl 462 or 500i

    Sell your 461 here, and perhaps buy your 462 here. Our greek friend can send you one quicker than quick!

    Looking at either a Stihl 462 or 500i

    I am no saw expert, but I love my 462. I started with a 290, then 362, and now a 462, and I am very content now. I run a 25 es light bar, and it takes care of all my needs easily. (I think a 28 would be ideal for this saw, but again, I got the bar and chains for a song from our Greek friend.)...

    New land and new saw needed to replace MS 250 - MS 261 C-M?

    That ms261 is a bad little mamma jamma! On my short list for sure!!!

    Ms 500i (are you put off?)

    uhhhhh.... lol............My 462 does indeed have a tuneable carb and no m-tronic system. I have no issue with mtronic or fuel injection, but for me, I could not pass up the deal that was posted on this forum from our friend in Athens. I bought the brand new power head on the cheap, and he had...

    Stihl MS462 Spikes Question

    I will have to post a pic of my setup. Purchased an inside dog via ebay for my small cover 462, and trimmed it down a bit and really like it. I felt the stock dog was too small, and most of the aftermarket were too big for my needs. My trimmed down one suits me just right...

    Ms 500i (are you put off?)

    I think the 500i will be a winner, but I do not need, and probably will not buy. I went a different direction, ms462 with a carb... simple, and a dope like me can tune it. I would not be scarred of a 500i or M tronic, but at this point my 462 is all I really need, and in fact is probably a bit...

    What to get.....462 or 661

    Just read through all four pages, and lots of good info in this thread. I am no pro, just a homeowner who likes good equipment. Gone through some saws over the years, and have landed on a 462. I have a feeling you are going to be very happy with it! As for bars, I run a 25 light on it, and it...

    New MS462 C-M...

    I got the sarcasm! LOL! I moved from a 362 to 462, though mine in a non M tronic, and agree with power assessment. 20 on the 362 is all it wants, and the 462 plays with a 25, and no worries it would run a 28 with ease, possibly even bigger depending on wood. I did not find the 362 to be the...
