    Stihl carb question

    Hi folks - homeowner question here. I have a Stihl FS55r weed and light brush trimmer that won't start. Sat for a long time and I suspect the carb is all fouled up. I can install a kit easy enough, but there seem to be several different brands for sale from different sources at pretty...

    Best hand saw?

    No disagreement here! But in this area there is a real abundance of blowdown in the 10"12" range, the smaller firewood has largely been picked clean. One doesn't need a great deal of wood for a small campfire. Much of the time the forest is quite wet (as you're likely quite familiar with)...

One particularly petulant but otherwise fine day she proclaimed "You must be the president of the Ugly Hat Club". Since her departure I've proudly taken this as...

    Price on 044?

    Local saw shop (Stihl dealer) has a used, rebuilt 044 for $625. This seems rather high. Link below: Stihl 044 Chainsaw Wise Ones whaddya think? A new MS362 is just a tad more. If this is all rebuilt, it's not a saw I want to tear into to fix up I don' think. Not much else within...

    Choosing a saw for high altitude

    Greetings - first post but I'd like to get right to the point. I'm needing a good firewood saw for between about 7000 and 9500 feet in elevation. Years past I used a slightly modded 044 with a 30" bar and full chisel chain at lower elevations in Oregon - wish I still had that one but I...
