I started a thread on this a year and a half ago and thought the problem might be fixed, but it isn't. I have a really nice 460 with very low hours. I have owned it for 6 or 8 years and until about 2 years ago it was competely trouble free. It idles as it should and runs great with good...

I have a clean stock 460. I flooded it today. Removed the spark plug and dried it with compressed air. Now when I try to start the saw it has a nasty kick back and jerks the rope out of my hand. I turned the saw over a few times with the plug out--maybe not enough times? Suggestions please.

I have a 346xp ne I bought from Neal Murphy here on this site several years ago. He no longer appears here. It has been a great saw and for years I left the mixture settings alone, but it clearly was very rich and needed adjustment. Neal told me he acquired surplus saws from a utility company...

I have a 346xp that I bought from Neal Murphy on this site about 4 years ago. He rebuilt it with a Meteor piston and it has been a great saw. I use it pretty regularly and have put quite a few hours on it. Absolutely no problems until today while filing it with fuel it leaked out of the right...

I have always used Oregon chain 21BPX072G. However the chain is now identified on the pack shown by a supplier as 21BPX 072CK. Is this the current version of the same chain? Specs seem the same, 72 links, .325, .058.

I have a Dolmar 7900 that suddenly started running very rich at idle and power. Pulled the carb (Zama with C3M on the casting) and under the cover (bottom, I think, held on with 4 screws) there is a loose flat piece of metal about 1/8 by 5/8. I cannot see where it came from. Any help or...

I have a 16" bar and 3 chains (one new) from a Stihl .026 I killed with bad gas. I sold the saw for parts and replaced it with a Husky 346xp from nmurph, so I have no use for the bar and chains. I was going to give it to a neighbor for his new Stihl 250 (has the right chain) but his is a...

In the course of some less than completely skillful work on an 026 I managed to bend and distort the flat spring that provides tension on the choke lever and holds the contact to turn the ignition off. Does anyone have a picture of what it should look like, or a link to a reasonable clear...

I have a very early 290 (only one I have seen with the old style oil/gas caps). Great saw until I ran over the handle with my backhoe. Needs a new handle and air filter cover. It is the early "flat" style case and cover. I can find decent prices on the later style handle and covers, but not...
