I've seen guys yelping after looking through threads about 038mag. Really saw wise aint the 044 a better saw and collector item?

Just purchased this guy. All OEM, compression is 150, P&C look perfect, fires right up, bar is new, chain made 2 cuts from looks, and all paint and stickering looks great. Really clean. Homelite collectors Id like to know more about it. Average value in this condition, what CC, HP, class...

I've pretty much concluded my Stihl collection of new and vintage. Looking to start on Macs next. Cp125 is on my list, which others should be? Would like a 2 man, other big ones, and worth while smaller. Top 5ish

It's been a few years since I posted here. Thanks for letting me back in. Here's a little of what I've been up to.

I'm working on another 020AVP I bought cheap off ebay not running for a project because I got a lot of spare parts for this model. Here's what I rebuilt. Carb, impulse, fuel line, and rings. Even with new rings comp is 130 and P&C looks great???? Here's the bigger issue. H screw needs to...

I did some old post searching but didn't get the answers I was looking for. So new thread. Are HD2 filters safe on these saws and are there any benefits? They seem less restrictive and have a tighter seal. 044. Has old HD with extra blue insert. Can the insert be removed and just run a...

If your gonna make firewood you need kindling. Found the perfect solution this year. Local sawmill scraps. And a 029 with 20 in bar.

Were the 020AV Super's 40mm jug? And were the 40mm jugs interchangeable with the 38mm? Looking at my IPL it doesn't list the Model Super but it does show a layout for both the 38mm and 40mm P&C. From what I can see you could swap them out and you can size up your 38mm saw. I'm rebuilding my...

I have a guy who works for me who originally went to UTI for Harley Mechanic. Had some conversation with him about polishing ports on bikes or saws both in my case. He had an instructor there that said he believes polishing ports is counter productive. A rough cast port helps to atomize...

Rebuilding a freebee. About 6 months ago I received a 020AVP saw, year unknown. I want to replace the sprocket cover, the one on the saw only covers the sprocket leaving the muffler and spark plug wire exposed. I see several pics online of both covers, some with a cover like mine and others...

A guy from my work brought me his Stihl 020AVP, said him and another guy were cutting with it, the saw wouldn't start after refuel. So like fools they adjusted the carb without knowing how. I got the saw the saw to run now but on this saw and this old of a model don't know where the screws...

OK here we go guys after Splitposts idea of the MS 441 coil and Cahoon trying it on his race saw here is the MS880 coil swap thread. There will be more to follow but here is the progress tonight. The new MS 880 rev limits at about 11,000 rpm and according to recent info the MS 441 coil is a...

Guys I forgot the Husky model exhaust deflectors that work well on Stihls for muffler modding and spark screen does anyone have the #'s. The model saw and part #? Thanks in advance

Recently I have been looking into one of these saws but would like some more info. There is the 075 AV and the 076 AV Super are there other models in this family, and which are the best? I know the 075 is a 111cc what were the 076's (cc/HP). Are all these saw identical in appearance and are...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0PfgnN_FZk http://youtu.be/Kt9_xfpso3s Hope they turned out 660 dual port, 8pin 25" bar RSC somewhat new chain. 044 dual port, cylinder lowered 20" bar RSC chain at half life Would like feedback good bad or otherwise.. Had to call my Dad the wood was frozen...

Serial# 140190941 I'm not the best at researching this stuff so I'll ask. The saw was purchased new in 1997 by me new. It has been painted so no my 15 year old saw did not look this good a few weeks ago. Here is the work I have done to it I replaced the recoil handle, recently the tank...

Aside from replacing it and the saw shop isn't open today, I pulled it apart the orange grommet seems fine, the filter is intact, and the cap fits snuggly. Is there anything else to check or do, the saw was empty and when I toped it off it started leaking and it never did this before? Do the...

There were some treads bouncing around about the new MS 880 design with new style muffler, coil, and flywheel. Here's a pic of the muffler.. The question was about weather this saw could be modded besides dual porting the muffler because the new coil is Rev. Limited and appeared to have a...

3 of my Stihls have the black tab that you can switch between summer and winter. I was cutting today and stopped to brush an air filter off and saw it and remembered I should ask when to switch it.. Is it to keep out snow or for just cold temps. it was in the teens today would it be time to...

Just making sure I got this right, thought this weekend I might lower the squish on my MS460 to see what happens and learn something.. I want the finished solder height to be above .020 and around .024 would be great.. And when measuring I want to pull the saw around about 3 times and use 4...
