I was cutting a lot of wood today and I noticed that the chain did not cut well when I used it near the power head....using the "dogs" but it cut much better when I used the tip end. This is by no means a new chain but I try to keep it sharp and touch it up at every fueling. At first I thought...

My 288xp is leaking fuel when I turn it 90 deg. clockwise. I am attaching a picture that shows a hole in the tank. What is supposed to plug that? Any help would be apprecitated. I am wanting to use it on a Alaskan Saw Mill. It is the hole right after the throttle handle.

I recently purchased a lightly used 272xp off Craigslist for $100. When I went to pick it up I tried to start it and it burped and that was all I needed to see so I gave him my money and I took the saw home. Got home and put in fresh mix. New plug properly gapped. Pulled muffler and it is...

I own a couple 2 series saws. 288xp and 272xp. If a guy wanted to maybe expand his collection but stay in the 2 series xp saws 50cc or less....what models should he look for? Thanks.

I have a 056 AV saw that I purchased off CL a year ago or so. Bought it from an old german man in the community that told me it had sat in his basement for 15 or 20 years. The piston would not move so I put a squirt of oil on top and let it sit over night and the next morning piston was free...

Hello All, I just picked up a Granberg Alaskan Mill G 776 and put it together last night. I am a complete rookie at this but in my studies, I heard that if you have a regular semi-chisel chain...that if you filed it to 10 degrees, it could be used to rip. Is this true? Thanks Byrdmando...

I just picked up a Granberg Alaskan Mill G776 MK III...never put together and brand new. It also came with a frozen/seized? Stihl 056 AV with a brand new Windsor 36" bar (H83V) and a brand new chain that has never seen wood. I havent gotten into the saw at all but hope to take a look at it...

I just got a new chain. On the drive link it reads J3 and on the cutter there is a M. Is anyone familiar with this chain? Thanks. Byrdmando Coleman Falls, Va.

I am looking for part number 501 68 68-01. Anybody have one they can put in the mail to me? Also, I was hoping that we could keep this shipping costs down. I am being quoted a bunch of 10-12 dollars shipping fees. Thanks. Byrdmando Coleman Falls, Va.

Does anyone have a chain brake for a 288xp that I could buy off of you? Thanks in advance. Byrdmando Coleman Falls, Va.

A friend has been sending me messages as he is working on this saw. Saw came to him and would not idle. It would start on choke but would not idle. He pulled carb (twice) and cleaned out real well. He also found a cracked fuel line which he replaced. He told me he had a bear of a time...

We loaded this Chevy 2500 down pretty good with some oak and locust. I was just pretty impressed with my brothers stacking job.

I was cutting with a neighbor yesterday. He has a 266xp in what appears to be in good shape. My 455 was cutting circles around his saw. I new something had to be wrong so I asked him if I could run it. I noticed that the saw did not seem to rev high enough. It would cut but it would just...

Can anyone tell me who I can contact about purchasing a Husky saw? I am in Bedford County, Va....if that matters. Thanks.

Do ALL saws have them? I have been given an old Poulan 2300 that hasnt run in years. I want to see if I can get it to run again and maybe give it to a neighbor that could use a kind gesture. I have replaced the fuel line and fuel filter and put a bit of mix down the throat and got it to...

I know this is not the correct section of the forum for this but I also know that this section is full of very sharp people that might have an answer for me...one I was hoping to get before I head off to work tomorrow. Thanks for bearing with me on this one. Can anyone tell me what this...

Does anyone know where I can find one? Also, the recoil cover seems to be just fine. Anybody have any idea where I can find one or if I am even calling it by the correct term?

Belsaw 550-1 Dont know tons about this grinder but I do like older tools. Should be fun to learn to use it. My brother has been taking advantage of my good nature by consistently bringing me 3 or 4 chains at a time that he has been "stumping" with. I have patiently been putting an edge on...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My friend brought a saw over to the barn the other day. We took the chain off his MS170 and on the driver there was a number 1. on the cutter there was a number 6. It was clearly a Stihl chain but other than that....I am not sure what I am dealing with. I tried to put an edge on it and was...
