Sold?

Matt, I'm in Thomson, Ga. 30 miles west of Augusta. I'm REALLY looking for a bigger powerhead for these bows. Okie, I'm willing to try to do these things with the understanding I might fail. The hard way is the way I have found best when I want the knowledge gained to stick. I have taken...

Had an older neighbor/pest-control customer ask for my brother and I to do a termite inspection under his house. We started jawing about saws and whatnot and he sent us on with that 028 WB (Electronic) and that little Homie!! Saws beget saws! Anyway, he hadn't used either in over five years...

Well, good report on the saw! And a couple of other developments... The 026, after replacing the fuel line and adjusting the carb (all three adjustments) using a tachometer, ran out a half a tank of 45:1 and half a tank of b&c oil (nice to know that it does both at roughly the same speed). I...

I've been tempted to buy those in the past, but I had read some reviews (a couple of years ago) that claimed there was a bad batch that would break where the stamp mark is on the head. Generally, I just buy vintage stuff and work with that. But I would love a Husky hatchet...or HB...or Helko...

Thanks for the pic, Farmersteve! I've been perusing Stihl's site and learning a lot about their "RS", "RM", "RSF", etc. chains. Do Stihl bars only accept Stihl chains? Blueduce, I'm just trying to learn what I can early. Repetition, experience, and mistakes will be what will cement all this...

I was thinking of dropping the 026 down from that big bow (how do you take measurements of a bow guide to convey size? what parts of the guide are measured or is a chain tooth count more important?) to a 18" bar. Mad Scientist I got your: "Get a 16" , 3003 mount , 0.063 , 0.325 bar. Stihl 26...

I didn't interpret any criticism in your comment, my friend. We lurkers must stick together. I will say, though, that I've met a lot of people who have the same opinion of bow guides that you do (i.e., generally just plain dangerous) but have never used them. Have you ever used one? I...

It is amazingly easy to post pictures on this forum!

Again, guys...I know that picture is liable to cause a shitfit. That's why this post is about rebuilding, rebarring, and refurbing this saw... Also, the rounds in the background were not cut by this saw. I haven't used this saw for doing anything aside from testing to see if it ran after...

Blueduce, that's exactly what I'm saying. I used it pretty extensively when I first bought it (before the fuel line collapsed and it sat for two years). I come from hillbilly/country stock, but I don't agree with the hillbillification of this saw. I would love to get it looking and running...

Blueduce, thank you for the encouragement! Huskitoter, I've removed the muffler to check out the p/c, and I've removed the carb to oogle at it from that side. It looks shiny and slightly wet...from what I've read/seen of good and bad pistons, this one seems pretty nice. I did the drop test or...

Ok...This is a thread that I hope will go on for a bit because I have a good many questions. I've been lurking and learning a LOT on here, but there are still some "What would you do?" style questions. I have an 026 (not a pro model/no decomp on top) that is in need of serious help. I've...

Thanks! I'm a noob to this side of things (online purchasing via forum). So $200 and it's shipped? I am looking for a saw in that cc range to pull a bow. I have a decent old Stihl bow guide that came on a 026 I bought second-hand (craigslist...probably hotter than hell). I would like to...

What does "pho" mean?

Been lurking on this site for a while, now. Your sales post forced me to respond. That saw is gorgeous! If I had the $$ right now I'd snatch it up. I'm in a job transition (actually, my brother and I just started our own pest-control business a little over two months ago after working in the...
