    aviation gas in chainsaw ok???

    I've had very bad results with E10. The ethanol eats plastics and rubber. Fresh carb kits and hoses deteriorate to quickly. The ethanol eventually absorbs water which then becomes corrosive to the metals. My first 3-4 years I used E10 and I paid the price dearly with short lived repairs and...

    Is this a Homelite XL or super XL

    In my original but older factory parts manual the 20" "homelite" bar call for a 69 DL chain. On my property inventory list, I call out the 20" SXLAO with 70 links. On the shelf 3 ea 69dl and 3 ea 70dl and a stack of 20" Homey brand bars on the shelf? My XL12's would usually run the 16".

    those are the small brother of a 41. One thing is usually quoted wrong is the bar type is NOT small husky but IS D041. A search on this forum several years ago will show the research effort and results. The oiler position is the problem. The small husky bar hole does not line up properly...

    coil wire replacement

    Stihl 011? (sorry does not give much info to me?) mostly 5mm or 7mm HV wire are used on my fleet of 65 saws. 7 mm seems to be available often enough but (for me) 5 mm is harder to find.

    Gasoline Primer Container, what do you use?

    "that" = dissolved ?melted plastic? IAW scientific HDPE and LDPE lab bottles are fairly immune to most aeromatic solvents = gasoline HDPE is what gas containers are made from. Biggest problem is UV damage from the sun, so mine stay indoors 99% of the time. Ketchup bottle may be OK for a big...

    Chainsaw flywheel switching polarity of magnets?

    I will assume you mean front to back instead of upside down. It won't mount otherwise. The coil armature must still face the flywheel. The early engines are N-S-N and late are S-N-S. I'll offer this to the Simple tractor forum as this advice has never been offered in the many years I have been a...

    Chainsaw flywheel switching polarity of magnets?

    Here the load material is embedded in the cast aluminum. After all the flywheel machining, the load is magnetized. I have a magnet gausser and have magnetized enough magneto to have a clue! There are many different flywheel magnet configurations, so discussing them according to points/EI can...

    Chainsaw flywheel switching polarity of magnets?

    For points, magnet polarity does not matter. For the simpler type EI it typically does. The shape of the magnet and how it is attached and lays against the the "armature" could be the entire key as to if it would work or not. Share the link for the video and I'll give it a peak...
