    In the morning I'm going to remove a 24 in dia. pine 10 ft. from my house. I could cut it, it's already leaning in the direction I want it to go. But, I want to remove the stump too.

    New to me Stihl 046

    Rebiult the Carb When swapping out the gas tank on the 046, I thought I'd blow out the carburetor. Wrong! So, I just replaced all the torn membranes that I wrecked by blasting the carb. It started on the 1st pull. I do want to change the pull handle either to a new elastostart or one of...

    046 24 in Sugihara light, Stihl full skip RS chain. Man, This saw is amazing, I LIKE IT! You have to say it like the guy in Robo Cop after he shoots the 50 cal. Cuts through 24 in logs like a hot knife through butter.

    I have it working! Wow! I noodled a bunch of rounds. But I need to get into something Bigger. Lots of torque. I bought a new gas tank in case the patched one leeks, so far it's fine. I also got a new Stihl 3/8 RS chain for my 036 PRO, Oh Ya! what a difference that made. Wiz

    The new tank did not arrive. But the clutch springs did arrive and that tightened the clutch up nicely. The new clutch drum was the wrong one. Dealer is reordering the right one. The outside dawg is correct so now I have a chain catcher. Wiz

    ok, I'll have a bunch of new parts next week for the 046. Ordered springs for the clutch. I then discovered that the springs had worn groves into the side of the holes the springs go through. So gona have to get a new set. I could put a tiny bead of weld in the groves and tighten it up, but, I...

    I was perusing the Sugihara light weight bars. The 20 and 24 in are high on my list. Or Stihl ES 25 ES 20. That way I could run them on my 026 PRO, 036 PRO, 046. Does the driver width 50, 58, 63 increase the Bar thickness? Bar weight? Wiz

    The guy I bought the saw from said he mailed it today"it's Sunday" The cover is most likely junk, but it should have the other spike on it. Anyway, I May have to get new large cover and the rubber chip deflector for it. Wiz
