    Help with Stihl BR420 blower!

    Every blower I service for landscapers has a clogged or clogging spark arrester screen. Check that and if it's clogged, use a propane torch to burn off the carbon. Also check the fuel tank vent and make sure it's not dirty.

    Sunday night...whatcha workin on?

    Mowers and trimmers and saws, oh my! Winterizing some for customers, trying to figure out what other clients actually did to their machines and cleaning mufflers. Always cleaning mufflers. Sigh.

    Is an MS310 worth rebuilding?

    I have been given an MS310 with a badly scored P & C. It's missing a muffler and air filter cover as well. I haven't cracked it open yet so there might easily be more wrong at this point. My understanding is that this is a consumer saw, not a pro grade, and I wonder if it's worth the...

    Chain Gauge, what's the diff?

    Thanks guys, that clears some things up. I was just thrown off because Baileys and the Oregon chain book list all 3 gauges for darn near every type of chain but none of the dealers I talked to carried the .058 and indicated that chain wasn't used. I guess the more you learn, the more you end...

    Chain Gauge, what's the diff?

    Hey gang, I normally just troll and learn but today I have a question. Bought a Husky 395XP from a landscaper (yeah, I know...) and put it in some wood yesterday. Came with a 28 inch Oregon power match bar and I assumed, incorrectly, with the "matched" chain. After an hour of work on some...

    Husqvarna 445

    It's a good saw, I have one and use it often. As long as I keep my chain sharp, it will cut just fine. The only thing I don't like is only having one bar bolt.

    dead leaves on Bartlett Pear tree

    07076.jpg. I tried to quote the original post but it only quoted the verbage, not the image link. It's the closeup of the base of the tree after the homeowner removed mulch and possibly some soil. 4th post in this thread.

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    Thanks, Mark. That's what I was looking for. I guess this saw is part of the transition between a true points system and a true electronic system. I look forward to messing with it!

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    I'm starting the teardown and rebuild of a Mini Mac 6. Just for kicks and giggles really. It has sat somewhere wet for a while and looks like it needs some TLC. When I pulled the flywheel and coil I found a condenser and breaker box. Can one of you with more experience in older saws explain...

    Nik's Poulan Thread

    Well, you guys just answered one of my questions. It seems I have a Craftsman branded 2300 (2.3 cu) and have successfully rebuilt it. According to the original manual it should run a 16:1 fuel. I put some 50:1 in it before I read the manual of course, and it fired right up. Should I mix some...

    poulan 2000

    Isn't the 2100 part of that series as well? I have the Craftsman branded 2100 (I think...) and most parts are available through Sears. Just rebuilt it and it started right up. This one looked as if it has sat in water for a while too. Also had that musty moldy smell when I started the tear...
