The needle valve holds pressure. Could you explain what is happening?

I have trouble with an 036 after it sets for a number of days, a week. I pull it over on choke and get no pop and then it’s flooded. Was told not to pull more than 3 times on choke. Two fifty cc saws start on 5 pulls or less so it isn’t the gas. If I start the 036 every day it’s not a...

Well, not knowing about it, you might try to find an older model sans bulb model and see how the gas line is routed and the carb used on it, etc. I got one at auction for $15 and I see them for 60-80$ on Craig’s and Facebook. Switching might be a fools errand. I believe they came with a 16” bar...

I have the Makita 520i equivalent. 18” with 3/8 low profile. Similar to the 026 pro in power and weight. Great saw. Got it dirt cheap at auction. A favorite at my house.

Black walnut will have a dark brown center on the branch with a small ring at the outside which is white. I wonder what was done to that tree to make the trunk base the way it is. Looks like an intervention of some sort.

How much $ ? Does it run good? Inquiring minds want to know.

OP said favorite, forever, implying “one” and listed 2. So,,,,, my favorite would be, 036 Pro, 028 super, Makita 520i, Echo 360t, Homey XL. But I only use one at a time. All bought used. Not gonna spend real money on the newest, latest, greatest. Just sayin. I do buy new jeans and shoes now and...

We had a 2” rain over the x-mas weekend. Tiles were dripping for a few days. Des Moines river went up 2 feet. Whether was on the warm side for Nov.-Dec. Had all the lawn leaves chewed up and cleaned up the mower for the winter. A week later it wouldn’t start. Tore the old Grazer completely apart...

Burned up two of those modules in a series 1 028 Stihl before putting a coil from an 029 in it. Ran fine after that.

5AM. -18, 2days of whiteout. Not much snow, just colder than I like.. Wood burner in basement and it can’t keep up with these temps. Burning some LP.

Got a plastic caged clutch bearing for an echo and other parts in cushioned bag from ereplacements. Bearing was in pieces and they were in and out of my account about four times before they were done with me.

Local John Deere dealers sell echo. No parts, Very little equipment on hand .

I got to thinking about my 028 post above a day or two later. My coil took a dive and I put two little modules on it from a Stihl dealer and they both died. Pioneer600 or Harley pointed me towards an 029 coil. Worked great. Would also agree with the 036 pro post above. Bought one at auction for...

Ultimate Scrounge? Ecoheatfirelogs.com. Burns hotter, longer, cleaner, less ash, more green, etc. only $500 /pallet Equal to or better than your favorite cord of hardwood. No more 2T sniffing, expensive saws to maintain , what’s not to like.

I’ve run a duromatic 18” on a 028 Stihl for about 20 years or so. Years ago my Stihl guy said I might get a 10% jump in speed with a front sprocket. I did have a front sprocket bar for a while till it fell out of a tree and went back to the Duromatic. I only cut about six chords and some storm...

I ran a series 1 028 over 15 years, maybe changed the spark plug . Had a series 2 for a y ear or so when I ran into a Super 028. Never paid over $200 for any of them. When I got the super I sold my ms290, what a boat anchor dog. The 028 are about as bullet proof as a saw can be. I also run a...

A two year old boy was hit and killed by a falling tree felled by family member. Very sad. Gonna be a long Xmas. Thoughts and prayers for the family. God speed for them.

What do mean by”something was off” ? Do you feel like you didn’t get the same saw back? Parts changed? Show it to the guy you bought it from. Does it run good, better? Why did you have it worked on?

Listed on Waterloo Iowa Craigslist on 10/30. Looks legit. Thought someone might be interested. The price of $750 on the 500i looks very reasonable..

@ Bill G, it’s called K C Nielsen
