I bought my MS361 new in 12/05. It came with a 20” bar and was always a great saw to use. I did the Lakeside Andy muffle mod. You old timers here will remember him I’m sure, he was a very knowledgeable guy and very helpful to all. The BS finally ran him off I guess. Anyway as I acquired more...

I found this today at a flea market. Looks new and unworn. I’m guessing it’s from the mid 90’s when those saws came out. Anybody ever see one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just had a pristine CS440EVL given to me, it's a 1983 model year. It runs great I was going to check it with my tach but only find its operating RPM listed as 9000. Is that as fast as this thing turns? It is a well made saw with good fit and finish. The air filtration looks weak and it's...

I spend today with a couple of buddies working up a big oak that's been down for a year. I got to get some trigger time on my new MS362RCM along with my MS441RCM and my 660. They all got a serious workout today Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Steve Lincoln IdealArc 250 Lincoln SA200 1966 Redface

I had a chance to sell my MS362R to a buddy this week, I bought it new in 2010. I ordered a new MS362RCM and I got a call it was set up and ready to go. It will wear a 20" and yellow chain. I really liked the standard 362 but I know how much better my MS441RCM runs compared to my old standard...

I picked up a Pioneer 800 today, it's wearing a 36" bar. The F&M recoil is messed up. Is this saw worth anything?

I have a Homelite XL102 that has a SDC carb that I have rebuilt but it still won't run. I removed the carb and installed new gaskets and a diaphragm after using carb cleaner and air to blow it out. The saw will run only if primed with mix. I have rebuilt many carbs and never had this much...

I picked this XL 12 up today. Looks like it wasn't used very much judging from the bar paint and bottom of the saw. It has good hot blue spark and the fuel lines look good and solid. I will try and fire her up tomorrow with fresh gas. The serial number is 247xxxx, is it a 1962 or 1964? I can...

I took my 1980 Pioneer Farmsaw out to play today. This is my first Pioneer and I really like it, they seem to be well built and solid saws. I want to find a NOS or very good Pioneer 22 or 24" bar for it and it will really look new all over. I found this on CL last Labor Day weekend. I am a...

I bought an all orange 009 that is in good cosmetic shape over the weekend. It will run on prime but not continue to run. The fuel line is ok and I have removed the carb (twice) cleaned it with solvent and replaced the gaskets and diaphragm. I got her back together and when it is cold it will...

I was at a flea market/junk store today and saw a fairly clean 009 there that was solid orange color, would that mean it was one of the first 009 saws out? All I have ever seen were cream color with a orange air filter cover. Steve

I am working on an old blue Super XL, I need to pull the oil tank assembly. I have pulled the clutch and drum and the 5 bolts behind it that hold the assembly to the main body of the saw. What else do I need to do? I only have an IPL and no repair manual, the reason for the tear down is to...

I have picked up an old blue/white Super XL and I would like to know the year of manufacture by the serial number. I have done a search and found the Homelite Tech Bulletin that explains their code but it doesn't seem to work with the saw as it does not go back into the 60's. This saw I am...

I am working on this saw for a buddy and it has no spark. I took the kill switch out of the circuit and still no spark. Is there any other tests I can do with a volt/ohm meter to confirm the Prestolite module is bad? I was unaware that any of these had electronic ignition Thanks for any help...

I picked this up over the weekend from a Craig's List post. It is a 1980 model and my first Pioneer saw. I have cleaned it up and it seems to run very well. It seems to be a very low hour saw as all the decals are in place and it still has the original Pioneer bar. I am impressed by how well...

Even though it has been very hot this week I have been working up a big white oak at my FIL's house. This was dropped by the power company, and was struck by lightning last year. I got a chance to use most of my saws, 660, 441R-CM, 361,261 and the 211. Here are a couple of pictures, should...

I picked up a non running 042AV at a flea market on Friday. It had a good 28" Stihl bar with a fair chain. I put that bar and chain on my 056 Mag and I dismantled the 042 powerhead for its components and listed several on EBay. My question is, what common parts does the 042 share with other...

I am working on a 31cc Roper chainsaw for a buddy who picked it up at a yard sale. It has spark but will not hit with prime to carb or in cylinder. I checked the compression and I can only get 90psi. Is that enough for it to start? I thought it would but she won't hit a lick. What do you guys...

I am working on my brother's 757 which he straight gassed. He got a new jug and piston and tried to install it himself. Somehow the piston will not go completely into the cylinder and you can't remove it either. It appears to me that a ring is caught on a transfer port. What is my next move...

On Saturday I went to a local junk dealer and found a blue super XL automatic that I purchased for $15. I brought it home put fresh gas in it and she runs great, it has a 20" hard nose Homelite bar and almost new Oregon chain. I checked the serial number and it is a 1972 model. My questions are...
