    I have a titan 57 that I have had since new. I stopped using it 4-5 years ago. I planned on reusing it again this year but oil lines were cracked. I replaced all fuel and oil lines, cleaned air filter, gave it a new spark plug and it started fine. Took it in the woods and found it would bog...

Mine idles great and in any position, starts like a dream but feels a little down on power fo me. This may be...

    echo cs-450p questions

    I just picked up a slightly used echo cs-450p and I was wondering about the limiter tabs on the carb. I tried the saw and it runs and idles great. Starts very easy and idles in any position you drop it in. I just down sized from 57cc to 45cc so I do miss a bit of power. I am concerned about...

    Is a stihl ms 260 price

    I was thinking that clam shell design didn't matter that much. If it a good saw it should last 10-15 years cutting fire wood before it needed to be rebuilt. I thought there would be more plus/minus then just design. Who buys a new car or truck based on how the engine is designed.

    I live in Canada and have bought 30+ things from ebay. I made the mistake of getting it sent by ups/fedex the first couple of times. I got gouged with fees.

    How come there are so many husky manufacture referbished saws on ebay? It sounds like they are having a lot of trouble with certain models. 445,55 rancher, 450.

    help to pick a new saw

    Thanks for the info. It was a Husky 450 for $499 +tax not a 350. Sounds like a ms 260 is a good bet. Is there much power difference from a 260 to a 290. A friend has a 290 and my titan 57 has more power(even he admits this). A 290 goes for $500 but is a little heavy.

    help to pick a new saw

    I was trying to stay within a budget and I am not going to spend almost $800 tax in for a 346xp. Any advise on the saws I had listed would be a great help or something else in those brands. Husky 350 is $500 here and a stihl 260 is $560. I am trying to save a few bucks but I don't want a saw...
