    So........ I just accidentally bought a saw....

    Ok, it came today and i got the muffler off. It looks to me like maybe there are no rings....?? Or I am merely proving my incompetence. Breathalyzer might be useful, only had 4 and woke up with the worst headache ever..

    So........ I just accidentally bought a saw....

    I'm assuming the first order of business will be to pull muffler and check out the piston and rings? Does that require a special tool not found in a normal homeowner tool kit?

    So........ I just accidentally bought a saw....

    I should have my saw by Monday. I've resolved to make it my moderately expensive repair training aid. IF I can fix whatever needs fixing it will be priceless to me.

    So........ I just accidentally bought a saw....

    If it hadn't happened to me I wouldn't believe it either, and if I heard the story at work I really wouldn't believe it. It's probably gonna slow my plans for a better saw that I actually want but I think I'll probably try and turn it and recoup my as much of my money as I can. Samuel Adams...

    I actually took note of the compression thinking it was low. I got the app because I keep getting beaten on safety razors. I figure I'm safe, and then someone wrecks me with 5 seconds left.

    I entered a bid amount and everything, but I also hit the delete button. I'm not without fault, but this wasn't what I was trying to do tonight. I deserve any and all abuse I get, now I just need to make the best of it.

    Exactly Jacob. I mean this is my first time, but I can totally sympathize with your cousin except she will make many where I am spending it.

    So........ I just accidentally bought a saw....

    I don't know how this stuff happens to me. Obviously I'll be paying for it, but I was not being facetious when I said was mechanically retarded. I was playing with a new app that I wasn't intending to use for a saw, but apparently I subconsciously wanted to. I am so not pleased with myself...

    New guy needs a saw recommendation

    I suppose I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm really thinking of buying this- http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/192321-21.htm. Slow night at work, so I actually read the entire thread.. The return process for the other saw was painless and it seems that this one is of a little better...

    New guy needs a saw recommendation

    I returned my junk saw. Very quick and simple process. I looked at the Husky's they had in stock, the 450 is $400 which is right near what I want to spend. I'm pretty sold on the Stihl plan. I have two dealers in town and they are the only dedicated outdoor equipment places close by. Of...

    New guy needs a saw recommendation

    Agreed. I owned a used Stihl a few years ago and let a "friend" borrow it. It was stolen out of his yard the next day. Allegedly. I had done some research on that saw and was learning a bit about how it worked but all that information has abandoned me. Starting from scratch. I wish I had...

    New guy needs a saw recommendation

    I appreciate all the input. I should have known better than to buy from a box store just because of the service issues alone. I honestly didn't realize that the Stihl dealership would provide that level of service. Given my crippling limitations with regard to working on whatever i end up with I...

    Wow. Thanks for that insightful input.

    Jefferson/Marshall area. Service is a legit concern because although I believe I can operate a chainsaw I am certain I cannot perform anything beyond the most rudimentary of maintenance or repair issues.

    New guy needs a saw recommendation

    Ok. I have searched, and I have a limited budget but a real need. I bought a Poulan Pro from a place that rhymes with Joe's. 18 inch bar with 42 cc's. Ran fine for a limb on first start, but when i went to use it today the choke would not slide out. Saw would not run. I imagine that I might...

    Stihl "log" side cover tags - PUT YOUR NAME DOWN!

    I guess they won't fit on my newer saw, but I'll take 3 anyway.

    Stihl "log" side cover tags - PUT YOUR NAME DOWN!

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but I bet at least one other person is wondering too. How are these tags applied to a saw?
