    Huztl have ripped me off!

    I can't say I'm not tempted by Huztl, mainly because of the prices of new and well used saws and a case of want not need. When I go on craigslist and see 10 and 12 year old stihl 290s, that haven't run in years, looks like they were run hard and put up wet, wouldn't crank or maybe died in the...

    Homelite XL-12 lack of acceleration

    Got it running although it is still idling a little high. Cuts so so, It'd bog down just as soon as I got it in the cut. I picked up a cylinder pressure gauge today and it's reading a hair over 90 PSI. :censored: Haven't decided if I'm going to try to fix it or not. She who must be obeyed...

    Stihl MS 250 vs. MS 270

    I like my stihl 250 and If I had to do it all over again, I'd get the 250 again. If you let them, there are people here that would have you convinced you can't cut anything unless it's the 120cc stinseredusky super saw.

    My 260 eats flippy caps.

    I had the oil cap on my MS250 disintegrate in my hand at the start of the day. At the time, it was my only saw. Thank goodness the store was about 3 miles away and open at the time. Now I see why they are hated so. Whose bright Idea was it to go to the Rube Goldberg cap when they had a...

    Newbie needing advice on first saw purchase

    I own a MS250, bought it to clean up after one of the hurricanes came through MS a few years ago. It's a good small saw and you wont be disappointed as long as you keep the chain sharp. I use mine mostly to cut up downed limbs. Typical homeowner type stuff. I was helping a friend with a...

    Homelite XL-12 lack of acceleration

    I just bought an old XL-12, it needed a new fuel line and carb kit. I've got it running at idle but it doesn't want to accelerate. I may have to pull it back apart and run the carb cleaner through it again. I've adjusted the high and low 1 1/4 out and 1 3/4 out, and I've adjusted the diaphram...

    Stihl MS250 or MS290

    chain saw If you decide to buy the 250 and then decide you need a larger saw, you can always sell it on e-bay and if last year is any indication, you may get full retail for your used saw. I have a 250 and even if its Anti-vibe may not be up to par of some of the other saws, I still say it...

    Stihl 250 or Dolmar 540

    I have a Stihl MS250 with an 18" bar. and I spent all morning with it this weekend clearing up a downed tree from a thunderstorm we had come through. I spent more time moving limbs than I did cutting with the saw. It is a fine chainsaw for what I need it for, the occasional downed tree in the...

    My local dealer just refused service to me, any recs?

    I've run into a similar situation with the local camera dealer. They had a lens that would fit my camera, at almost twice what I could buy it out of a catalog. I had been a somewhat regular customer of his buying film and processing, somewhat higher than walmart and mail order. I wanted to buy...
