Not a chainsaw, but I have a Shindaiwa T282. It's about 10 years old and had a couple issues with the carburetor. I put new gaskets and diaphragm in it. It runs great! One thing though, since the rebuild full throttle isnt full throttle on the throttle lever. Not sure why, I didnt unhook the...

Seems like it should be simple but I'm scratching my head since I've never had it happen before. The saw is a Makita 6401 with an Oregon powermatch 20 inch bar. Woodland pro semi chisel chain 72 links. My issue is I'm out of adjustment to tighten up the chain. There is still some slack in the...

Good afternoon, yesterday when I was splitting I noticed a steady drip of hydraulic fluid leaking. It's a DHT 22 ton. The leak is at the threaded connection between the control valve and the cylinder. It's on the control side. I've never messed with hydraulics before. First, is there pressure...

I wanted to get your opinions and advice. We have central forced air a/c and propane heat. I also have an OWB. We've had one or another OWB for about 10 years now. The propane tank was at 75% then, and it's at 70% now, so rarely used. The tank isn't ours, and they paint it every year, replaced...

Figured you all might appreciate this. We have 3 kids, one more on the way, and the younger 2 are absolutely obsessed with firewood. As long as I'm not cutting trees down they go with me. They both wear ear muffs and just sit and watch. The younger one always falls asleep watching, my wife...

Some weekend firewood with one of my sons. Before anyone says anything he was sound asleep in the house when I went out to cut this tree down, and a few others. Once they were on the ground and limbed up I went to get him. He's obsessed with chainsaws, firewood, and 4 wheelers. He's 2 and a...

Had to share this. My wife just picked up our 2 1/2 year old from morning daycare at our local YMCA. She text me to say that someone nearby was running a chainsaw. When our son walked outside he stopped and said chainsaw. Then he said chainsaw, where are you? My wife asked him where it was and...

I had planned to cut most of the day Saturday but other chores got I the way. I was able to get out for a bit Sunday afternoon after a good lunch at my wife's grandma's house. There's a group or dead or dying ash trees in the back corner of the property I've been wanting to get. There is big...

Well, after all the great reviews on here I finally purchased a 22 ton Dirty Hand Tools splitter from Lowe's. A couple weeks ago I took my wife and 2 boys down to our field edge to finish splitting some huge knotty red oak with my fiskars. My wife couldn't believe what it took to hand split...

I had to post this before I head to bed. Not too happy. I was all set to fire up the owb for the first time this year. I opened the door to the firebox and there was water in it. It's leaking from the very back near the bottom. Not the weld though. The plate is rusted through. Huge flakes have...

Maybe you all can help me. Eventually I'm going to be purchasing a truck. Right now I have a little '99 Honda Civic to drive everyday. It has 180,000 miles, paid for, cheap to drive, and about 40 mpg. I also have a Jeep Cherokee with 215,000 miles. It has a 6 inch lift, 4.56 gears, and 33 inch...

I have an Earthquake one person auger. I've used it to dig well over 100 post holes over the past few years. Now I'm having a problem with it. It starts right up and idles great. When I give it throttle it will run fine for a second then it bogs way down. I let off, and it idles perfectly again...

I have a 14.5 hp Briggs I/C that quit running on me last night while I was mowing. It's a new to me used mower that I've been working on. I rebuilt the carb with with a new float needle, seats, main jet, idle jet and few other pieces. The rebuild did not include a new float. It also has new fuel...

Not chainsaw related but I need help with working on the carburetor from my lawn tractor. The lawn tractor is a Craftsman LT1000 with a 18hp Briggs. The carburetor is a Walbro 5-4993 LMT. I cannot figure out how to remove the bowl. There is an electronic fuel shutoff selonoid at the bottom of...

I'm planning a few projects: duct insulation, floor insulation, and windows and doors. I'm planning to do them in that order. What are your opinions on what is the best value for the money? I'm planning to insulate the ductwork in my crawlspace unless I should do something else first. There...

So, I figured I'd finally make my first post here. Been around for awhile though. Back in October I installed a Natures Comfort NCB175 OWB to heat our 1400 sq ft house. An indoor stove wasn't an option. Its plumbed into our existing forced air furnace and duct work. The water to air heat...
