Only issues I ever heard of was when they first came out, which I believe has been at least 7-8yrs, maybe 10 by now. Injector leaked and created potential fireballs. They fixed it fast, as they had to. Haven't heard of that happening since. I'm not really in the Stihl-loop, but everybody was...

Bump I'd trade one of them for a QC250 new or near new and fully-functional with no issues.

Bump. I'd love to get this lot gone. Feel free to make an offer. Edit: $450 + actual shipping

The few times I've forgotten and left gas in a saw too long, it starts to turn green. XP+ and ethanol gas. My grandfather had a little ms180 in the shed. He probably hadn't used it in 10-15 years. I checked it out one day a few years back, and the oil was bright green but sldugy. Took many gas...

Had the oil congealed, or was it still fresh?

The .325mini that Husqy has on their battery saws calls for 5/32". On this last chain I've been using this week, Ive used an 11/64" and am finding it quite nice compared to the 5/32".

Is this a fully adjustable carb, or low-only? I'm only seeing one slot but figured I could be missing it.

Great post. Very true, working in the woods is very different than just cutting trees.

Based on the word choice and perceived attitude, I wouldn't hire them. I like down to earth folks, but that's poor representation of oneself, imo. And gives no contractor info to verify the insurance policy, etc... Just my opinion. No real problems with it. To each their own. Present...

Bump I have a second one I'd probably be willing to sell, also, if someone wants two.

To each their own. It's rare I wrap a cracked tree, anyways. Ways to deal with it without wrapping.

Riding mower is absolutely not an option due to the incline of much of the ground, as well as holes from varmints and water. We've had some warmer weather on top of another 6" of rain. So far, the grass hasn't come back to full height as it was last year. I'm thinking the degree to which I cut...

IF you're going to do this, use chains not strapping, and especially neither from Harbor Freight!

As others have said, round out the depth gauge, don't have it ramped or flat. It's very easy to leave a lip on one side of the depth gauge, so I like to hit it once or twice from the opposite side at the end. I've never found having a ramped/flat depth gauge to have any benefit, and would...

Both my old 562s are long gone, but thanks. Got an MK2 recently but haven't broken it in.

Is that pretty consistently/always true for the vertical streaks? My first 562 began losing compression and had vertical streaks in the cylinder. It was a 2014 (and a demo model with 40+hrs on it) on the first or second-style air-filter setup. Seemed like I was always cleaning fines out of the...

Is the sticker new, or did I miss it before? Either way, I like it!

Paul would agree, RIP
