I tightened the High and Low jets absentmindedly when I was rebuilding a carburetor. If the seats were damaged, what symptoms should I expect to see?

I've been through several trainings,and the best one by far has been Game of Logging, level I and level II. You learn a good bit about saw maintenance and mechanics, as well as carb tuning and chain sharpening. I know that some of the western folks on the forum don't prefer the game of logging...

Is the flywheel bearing supposed to sit proud of the races of the crankcase? It isn't sitting flush against the snap ring, if that helps.

Just got my case split. Can't seem to get the oiler assembly out. It looks gunked up with some kind of melted plastic, but the cap looked fully intact when I removed it. Also, any tips for removing the old oil seals?

Just got the flywheel removal tool j. The mail and removed the flywheel and clutch. Can't seem to find the air leak. Am I plugged into the right line? I am using a vaccum tester and soapy water and looking for bubbles, with t the exhaust and carb plugged with innertube.

Thank you for scrutinizing, it's always good to hear an opposing voice. I'm certain that the crank is Italian, as per Hlsupply's description below: I do plan to inspect the OEM parts for wear, and I'll post my findings once I have everything apart. The cylinder is most likely usable, I've...

I normally feel that way about the aftermarket stuff, but I've read good things about the cross performance kit specific to the 075. I definitely like the honing stone idea. The connecting rod looked fine the last time I had the saw apart, but I'm worried about the needle cage bearing being...

Noticing a huge gradation in 075 bearing prices, from the farmertecs that I have ($10), with lil red barn bearings costing $35 and OEM coming in at $75 on EBay. Can I stick with the ones I have coming or should I bite the bullet and buy the OEM?

Still have that project saw for sale?

Alex, thanks for the input. I've read some of your posts on the 075 family in the past and I'm grateful to have your advice. To be clear, are you generally endorsing yamabond, but saying that it isn't neccesary in this case? Also, should I shim the crankshaft counterweight, in addition to...

Hey everyone, I was holding out for a Husqvarna 3120 or a Stihl 880 for a while, but I've decided that the money just isn't there right now for a new powerhead. I'm trying to resurrect my Stihl 075 that failed while running an Alaskan mill. I didn't catch an airleak, and ended up scoring the...

+1. I just did the same, it should be just fine

All finished. Fun and affordable project, all said and done. $10 into the cant hook head, around $40 for the handle, linseed oil and sandpaper that I had lying around and less than $1.50 for the hardware.

Almost finished with the project. I have the parts painted and the handle fit, just waiting for them to dry before I can assemble the finished tool!

Where is this, Joe? I'm not too far from you......

What kind of chain (gauge/pitch/brand) are you filing? The husky roller guides actually work surprisingly well on husqvarna and oregon chain. Stihl file guides work well on everything. They're all cheap enough to experiment. Make sure you get one that aligns with the right raker setting for your...

I am considering purchasing a Husky 3120 from a member on the trading post, but I am hampered in this decision by my current bar and chain setup. I have been running a 42" Cannon Superbar on a Stihl 075, so I have a bar with a 14mm S2 mount. When I contacted Cannon about an adapter plate, the...

Looking for a gently used Stihl 880 for milling.

Did this ever sell?

Sure enough, the saw won't build enough pressure. It seems I didn't get all the aluminum transfer either, because there are very light marking visible through the muffler port :( Any suggestions? Is my only option to source an OEM piston of the correct height or can I increase compression with...
