    how do you attach bumper spikes?

    I have put these on 2 poulan saws with the screws mentioned and they have not loosened or fallen off. Screws cut threads into the plastic.

    This is for all of you thinking of either doing or hiring someone to replace main bearings in your saw..

    Why would you go to cool it down with water? Would that not warp the case halves?

    Has my wood chipper chipped its last branch?

    Maybe the clutch is seized. Try removing it from the engine and inspecting it. There should be little clearance between the shoes and drive cup. An alternative would be too put a pulley on it and run it straight from the engine. It could also not be a clutch but a keyed pulley and the key has...

    Chainsaw won’t start driving me nuts

    I had a crank seal pop out and once it was re-seated the engine ran fine. It had me chasing my tail for a while though. Husky is a good make as a general rule. All makes have their issues...just don't give up and you will find what the issue is.

    Check flywheel key by removing flywheel, remove muffler and see if piston is scored, check fuel lines and pick up tube in fuel tank

    When you replaced the cat muffler with the noncat 5100 muffler ,did you have or see any issues with the top cover melting? I bought a non cat and was noticing the exit will blow against the top cover.

    Sachs Dolmar 114 Quits after 5 minutes

    I am a bit unconventional in my install. I ran negative wire right to the coil mounting bolt. I ran Positive wire through grommets for original Module down under the flywheel to where the original module sits. I soldered that wire to original wiring terminal. Put elec-chickens tape over it and...

    O.K> I will keep that in mind if the Universal Module does not do it.

    Sachs Dolmar 114 Quits after 5 minutes

    I did see the Mega Fire and pics looked the same as this. I have also read a 120si coil swap will work without the Module, everything is in the coil. So I have 2 options. Thanks again.

    Sachs Dolmar 114 Quits after 5 minutes

    Think I will try the Universal Ignition Module from ebay for 15 dollars before the coil swap from a 120SI that. If the module does not do it, I will fond a coil and try that. I will post my results.

    Would be nice to have a back-up crap kicker saw. Runs so well until it dies. 18 inch B + C and it was cutting great. Thanks for your reply. I will call Makita Dolmar tomorrow and see if they have a work around.

    Sachs Dolmar 114 Quits after 5 minutes

    I knew they were NLA as I went looking for one. Is there a coil that works without the modual? Searching the net , I have seen some that claim to eliminate points. Thank You for the reply to my inquiry. I just bought a 5105 for the work that needs to be done. The Craftsman no longer meets my...

    Sachs Dolmar 114 Quits after 5 minutes

    I got this saw for free and could not believe it started and ran by just fueling and pulling a few times. When the saw quit the first time I thought it was fuel related as it seemed to bog. I was running 40:1 mix and manual said 25:1. So I mixed that and it ran longer with small adjust of the...

    How do I contact Shaun for a muffler swap or modification to a PS5105H Muffler. Might as well eliminate this cat asap.
