    The Beg for Manuals Thread

    Looking for owners, parts and/or shop manuals for Pioneer P28. It runs really well, but the oiler is weak. Thanks for your help!

    "You Suck" Thread 2019--Pics required!

    Garage sale package deal after work today. 3 saws. I originally saw the Earthquake CS3816 saw for $25 and the Makita 5012B electric with no price. Then he told me about a 3rd saw - a Homelite Super XL Auto. He wanted to sell all as a package deal. We agreed on $80. I think it was a good deal...

    Another 311Y Stihl Chainsaw.

    Took it to the dealer this morning. It is a MS361. 2010 vintage. I ordered the model tag that goes on the recoil. It's about $3. Might order one of those aftermarket sprocket covers to replace the cracked one. Anyone buy and use one? What's the quality like? Stihl want about $55 for a new one.

    Another 311Y Stihl Chainsaw.

    Another 311Y Stihl Chainsaw. MS361? Local Pawn shop had this for sale - listed as a "Stihl 311Y" on the tag. Of course, that's just the number on the UL or Emissions Reg tag and not any Stihl saw model number. With tax it was $180. Starts, runs and idles like it should. It's seen some work as...

    Which Saw: MS290, 455Rancher, 346XP ?

    What do the used saws cost? Since they are used, how much do they need to be reconditioned and ready to saw? (do they need bar/chains/air filters/other service/parts/etc?) What's your budget? What saw brand has a good dealer nearby?

    Homeowner needs help on choosing a stihl(250-290)

    I'd recommend the plastic storage case because all my saws leak some oil after using them. It sure is easier cleaning up the oil in the case than an oil puddle on the shelf or floor. If it's going to be stored for a long time I always empty the oil and fuel tanks. Stihl makes a nice case and...

    stihl 026 bar size

    Thanks for the info. :cheers: I went with the 16" Stihl Bar .325 3003 008 6813 from the local Stihl dealer for $42+tax. The 026 saw came with a near new (and sharp) 16" .325 Stihl chain (looks like a full chisel RS?). I also put a new air filter on it. ($24). It's ready for wood. I've got about...

    stihl 026 bar size

    I bought a used 026 today and it has a 16" bar and .325 pitch. The bar is shot. The chain still looks decent and is sharp. I'd probably stick with a 16" bar. Should I buy a new Stihl bar or is there another brand of bar I should look at? Oregon, GB, Carlton??

    husqvarna 440-XTORQ (REVIEW BY- LOGGER)

    Given the few differences between the saws, maybe the tool-less tensioner parts weight 1/2 lb more?? Or does Husky weigh the 435 or 440 with different bar lengths?? VMI's site shows a refurb 435, but no 440 today.
  16. R

    husqvarna 440-XTORQ (REVIEW BY- LOGGER)

    The website also shows the 440 having 'Smart Start' and the 435 doesn't. Anyone know what the Smart Start feature is? It also shows the 440 to be about 1/2 lb heavier than the 435.

    Stihl 029 price

    I'm going to hang on to the old filter as a spare. The dealer didn't say anything about fuel line cracks, but I'll do as you suggest and look over the lines and snorkel port.

    Stihl 029 price

    Yes. There is a snorkel on top of the carb. Here's a picture of the original air filter and the kit I got from the dealer. You are looking at the original air filter. The new one is already on the saw. The dealer said something about older 029's might take a different air filter, but the...

    Stihl 029 price

    Yes. That kit has the identical parts for my 029 Super. (I took the old air filter there to make sure.)

    Stihl 029 price

    Local Stihl dealer now has Stihl 'tune-up' kits - $14.95. I didn't think that was too bad for a Air Filter, fuel filter, and spark plug. Bought that and a scrench today. Some of the sellers on Ebay/Amazon/etc better check their Air Filter prices. :msp_blink:
