As I said in OP, I bought it used and it was in great shape, appeared to have low hours. I have sawed maybe a dozen hours. What you say sounds like my problem, there is def not enough room to get the clip into the groove. Maybe the former owner had it apart. I will have to look deeper, I have...

I would've never known that if you had not said. I am not sure why it matters, but I believe you! Say, I cannot get the e-clip back on. Even before I tried, I noted that when I assemble the parts back in proper order, there appears to be not enough room to get the clip back into the groove. And...

Thanks for your kindness. I am going to go back to basics with just a hand file and try again. Arthritis my thwart that again, though, we'll see.

Was bucking a big oak log with 462R and after about three, I noticed the newly sharpened chain was cutting to the left and as I quit I heard something kind of rattling in the saw. Noted that the chain was super loose. Took saw to the work table and took clutch cover off and I found that the...

I think a 24 inch bar on the Echo 620 as your only bar is asking a bit much. A 20 inch on a 60cc saw is more realistic. Maybe an occasional 24 inch bar. But I am no expert. I like Echo. I am loving the idea of a ported 4910; it would not cost a whole lot more than your price on a new 620 and...

Wait a minute! Is that showing a 59% increase in HP and torque after porting?

This subject drives me mad. My chains do NOT stay tight. I have tried everything I know. This is multiple saws and two of them are pretty new and the bars are not worn, they're not that old at all. Chain tension doesn't last anything close to as long as what you are saying above. I use mostly...

Thanks for the info Philbert and Braintree, looks to be some good 'kit.' No distribution in the USA? I wonder if they ship. Thanks for the tip for translation, never would have figured that out.

Anyone else have any feedback on this? I went to their website and it looks like they have another product now, a chain holder gizmo that you place in a vice and don't need the entire saw, just the chain. But the original product, you use the entire saw and you don't have to take the chain off...

I got to wondering how 'famous' is this Ironhorse guy, never heard of him and I do watch youtube saw channels. Youtube has protected me, lol. Anyway, I just looked and he has 30k subscribers. I would think he is not making a killing off 'only' 30k subscribers. But I have not looked into how much...

Wow, that is amazing. How you get it? Case is worth some bucks alone.

Don't get 275 gal totes, get 330 gal totes. If at all possible. If I recall correctly, the 275s hold 1/4 cord and the 330 holds 1/3 cord. I do not buy totes, I scrounge around and get them free. I'd pay a little if I had to. Like, $10 lol. Last 3 I got, free. But I only have about 7. I will get...

Sellers... sell a quality product and people will pay for it. Get $280/cord AT LEAST. And charge for delivery if you do it. I get $280 to $360 depending on product. Went up this year. No problem. And I don't deliver anymore.

I find that adjusting rakers is the exception rather than the norm with your average chainsaw owner. People on this forum are not average. Average Joe is clueless about rakers.

Do any dealers allow returns? I have no idea, curious how they 'work.' Say you buy a new Stihl MSA300 battery saw, try it but it doesn't fit what you're looking for. Could you return it? The alternative would be if the dealer has a log of oak there and you could test the saw. But I'd have to...

Eegregious... dang good word. Had to look it up, lol. Welcome to OP, that is a steal of a deal. Be careful!

And that was Bethjustbeth's first post. Weird.

I have a local dealer that sharpens for $7. But my take on it has been based on the machine I saw there a few years ago... they didn't take any time on it at all. I mean, it took, like, three minutes. Just buzz buzz buzz and he's done. However, now they will not do them as you wait, it takes 2-3...

So, I thought I had it figured out. Sharpening a saw. Nope. That lasted a few sessions and then, whammo, doing the same thing I've been doing with enjoyable results (multiple chains/saws), it turned on me. What?!!! I don't want to explain what happened, other threads are for that. I'm just ready...

My Makita ea4300 has a bulb but it also has a pull rope gizmo that is kinda like Stihl's in that it is spring-assisted or somehow, you have to barely pull it and it turns the motor over. I love the saw. Today, I had to correct a worker (again) NOT to pull hard on the rope on this saw like he...
