    Makita 7300 vs 565 vs 372xp

    Thanks for all the input. I know the 565 is the latest and greatest technology. The 372 has been around for quite a while and has huge following as well as massive aftermarket support. I returned the 7300 and found a new 372 in stock locally. I pick it up next week when I get home from my work...

    Makita 7300 vs 565 vs 372xp

    My only concern with the 7300 is the lack of dealer support in my area as well as the fact that Makita is getting out of the gas powered equipment in the couple of years.

    J-red 2055 Turbo value?

    Unfortunately, I need the money. I do plan on getting another keeper saw in the near future but right now it just is not in the cards. You are right though it seems like a great saw! Real screamer and sounds great.

    2055 Carb ?s

    So I replaced the tank vent line and the one way valve. I gave it a splash of fuel choked it, a couple pulls and it roared to life. I had the carb set at 1.5 turns each. Once it was warm I let it down to idle and everything was fine. Once I went to rev it up again it bogged and died. I fired it...

    2055 questions

    Ok, so here is the 2055 I picked up. I found a pinched line and have replaced it. The problem is I do not know what the line was for? Any guesses. I have not cleaned this up either. I got it this way. It has a sort of check valve in the line. It is not connected to the carb in any way...

    I have had both experiences with Poulans. Of different generations of course. One of my uncles had a Wildthing that just stopped working one day and never started again. I had a look at it and could not see anything wrong with it. This saw was well taken care of and not abused. It was used to...

    Jonsered 2055 troubles?

    I will be checking all the simple things first. It seems they are good saws. For 35$ I could not go wrong. The parts are worth twice that easy.
