I'm looking for a used starter recoil for my 272xp. I don't mean to be OCD, but the new ones orange color don't match the orange on my 20 year old saw. Looking for an older one in great shape. Let me know what you have.

Ok, sounds good. I'll order a rebuild kit for it.

I always run 93 octane fuel and the stihl oil mix in my saws. Do you think I need to put a rebuild kit in the carb?

No, I haven't done anything with the carb. since I've had it.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that just started occurring yesterday. The saw is a 1997 272xp that I bought off a forum member 7 or 8 years ago and has run great. I re-ringed it two years ago. When the saw runs out of gas, no matter the procedure, it won't restart. I...

I cut up the logs in my avatar with a Husky 268 with a 24" bar last year.

I recieved my hotline catalog last week too and just the other day ordered the 511A grinder. It should be in today, looking forward to sharpening my chains.

I have a Huskee 20 ton splitter that had a 5 hp Tecumseh with the same problems you described. If it sat for a long time, you would have to remove the plug and then put it back on, then it would fire up. I finally got tired of messing with it and put a 5.5 Honda engine on it, as you are...

There are many, but the two most for me are: 1) not to use used motor oil in the oil reservoir and 2) having never been in a dedicated Stihl or Husky store before coming here, I always used to not think about there being a difference between them and a homeowner saw. I'm afraid to say it, but...

Homelite 330, never worked on a Mac, don't know the fun I'm missing.:dizzy:

I had one several years ago that was given to me because the clutch was destroyed in it. I ended up using a mid 1970's clutch out of a F600 with the 300-6cyl. I believe it was a 13" clutch, 1 3/8-10 spline. It was a good chipper after I got it running. Definately the most dangerous piece of...

There are also some Osage Orange trees at the Oatlands plantation about 10 miles from my house that are the same size as the one in your pic. Massive trees for sure.

I picked up a used Husky 272xp just for this same reason. I got it from a fellow AS member for 300.00. It came with a 20" bar and a couple of extra chains. I bought a 28" bar for it and 2 more chains. It's perfect for what I'm doing. I don't use my saws everyday, only occasionally, so it...

Had to work yesterday and today, but had fun on Friday! Went out and helped a friend cut some wood. He knows someone that lets him cut, the trees have been down a couple of years. All oak, some of it was pretty big. Equipment used-My Stihl MS250 with an 18" bar and Husqvarna 272xp with a 28"...

And how is it applied? Brush?

I thought it was impressive.

1/2 cord

We've been burning a little bit of kindling we got from my wife's grandfather. He is a cabinet maker, so he's always got scrap wood. He'll let it pile up outside and we'll come down in the fall and get a pickup truck load. It makes a nice hot fire that burns out quick for when it gets warmer...

Cool, hope you like your new saw, congrats.

1/2 ton, pre 1977 model.
