    Battery operated saws

    I have the greenworks/ kobalt 80v saws. I love that all I have to do is push the on button and pull the trigger. It is great for when you are starting and stopping a lot. I use it to trim my mature pepper and oak trees. Most cuts are under 12 inches. Plenty of power and battery life. My only...

    Battery operated saws

    For me, I went battery powered because I don't use my saw everyday. I like not having to worry about gummed up carbs. I know that they aren't for everyone, but they work for my application. I can do about 5 hours of prunning on one 80v battery. I have a pole saw and a chainsaw. Both 80v.

    Battery operated saws

    I have the greenworks 80v saw and it is great. It has a surprisingly long battery life. And with a little modification they are interchangable with the kobalt 80v tools. I would definitely recommend. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Just picked up the splitting axe for $25 and the x27 chopping and for $21 at Walmart based on the recommendations from this forum. They are amazing. A great improvement over my standard splitting maul and axe. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    tree work for neighbor

    I agree with turnkey4099. If you just get him to buy your gas and some lunch and you get to keep the wood it is a big difference than taking a paying job in terms of liability. If you get hurt, it may not be up to you if your medical insurance company is going to sure him. They have a right to...

    Thanks for the replies. These homelite saws aren't exactly easy to get to the carb. Where do you set the idle screw to start with? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    So I rebuilt the carb and replaced the carb gasket. I checked all the fuel lines and all are clear. Now I can't get it to even start up. It has spark. It has fuel flow because it will flood. Below are pictures of how I assembled the metering needle. Any thing look off? I sprayed the ports...

    I remember the gaskets felt really gritty and oily. I had been questioning the seal. I might replace them just to be sure. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Not yet, is what I described a sign that those need to be replaced? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    If I start the saw and spray carb cleaner on the spot where the carb meets the block, it will flood and die. Does that mean I have a vacuum leak there. Thinking about buying a vacuum tester, but haven't bought it yet. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Thanks. Duck bill is on the oil line, maybe wasn't hurt to replace. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    So the saw runs, but dies when I turn the choke of so I think I need to rebuild the carb. There is a rebuild kit and a gasket kit. They look pretty similar. Did anyone know the difference between them? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Here are pictures of the markings on the carb. It looks like a C1Q H17 is a Zama carb that uses a rb46 kit. Would that make sense based on the markings? Also, here is a picture of the saw semi assembled before I started taking it apart. Is carb cleaner and a rag the best way to clean the...

    I am looking for the carb kit now. It is a Zama h17 29g. I can't find that one listed on the Zama rebuild list. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
