    Where the hell is 2k?

    Yeah, same here......... I asked that plant biologist jerk ONE SIMPLE QUESTION about my Citrus trees, tomato plants, hemp (you know, for rope), junipers, False cypress, and sassafras and he never replied to me either. Some say he changed his username. I wonder what his handle is now?

    Where the hell is 2k?

    i want to know what the hell ever happened to that 'PLANT BIOLOGIST' guy. you guys remember him from a year or two back? that hippie is probably skipping throught the forest, giggling like a schoolgirl, high on shrooms he found. or maybe his bammboo and coconut computer broke...

    homelite xl oiler: howzit work?

    is #16 supposed to slide? it was all i could do to remove it from the saw body. i assume it is supposed to be a pressed fit? it looks like when the rod on the back side of #15 goes all the way in it blocks the inlet hole and outlet on #16. i don't get how this thing is supposed to work. if...

    homelite xl oiler: howzit work?

    i have a little xl top handle here with an oiler issue. it pumps a lot of oil but the oil doesn't come out of the oiler hole at the bar. it is coming out inside the saw body somewhere. all of the lines have been replaced one by one and it still does it. the tank is not leaking. there...

    Stihl 020 AV Super will start but dies

    when replaceing the fuel line.... use the 2nd fuel pickup line extension too if you can get one. sometimes the saw will run out of fuel even with fuel in the tank... the line/pickup is too short from the factory. there is a lot going on at the carb adapter flange on that saw. make sure you...

    Trimmed limiter caps and warranty issue?

    Bull####. In the automotive world companies are compelled to repair under warranty as long as mods weren't made to the failed system. The dealer should get his head out of his ass and/or Husqvarna can go to hell.

    It may just be a placebo effect but I swear my chains run smoother and bars seem

    i've used canola straight and blended at different ratios with bar oil. fact is that canola has very high lubricity. off the top of my head, when i researched it way back when, i want to say it had higher lubricity than bar oil. but it has no tackifiers so it flings off the bar. in...

    020AVS parts needed

    i have one but it isn't pretty. it has a lengthwise crack running from the interlock slot toward the front about two inches long. but it isn't broken completely. i dunno if it is any better than what you have already but you can have it if you want it.
