    How to convince, coerce, jedi mint trick, blackmail my Echo rep....

    Gentlemen I need to find a strategy to get my Echo rep to come to my shops open house. Each year he is on board and backs out at the last minute when he founds out that Stihl will also be there to demo saws. Last year he was ranting and raving about the 590 and the great price so I went out of...

    Customer comes in and asked me a tough one.

    Gentlemen today I had a customer come in and pick my brain as to what is the matter with his saw. He has a Ms 460 that he purchased recently. The saw was checked out and he was told it was fine. ( servicing dealer stated this ) Well he has issues starting it so he removed the limiter caps...

    OK so do I really need it? Or do I just want it???!

    Locally there is a MS 460 That I have serviced in the past that the owner wants rid of. The saw checks out in great shape and runs at it should. Carb is unmolested and the 20" bar and chain is in good nick. 350.00 for this. By sheer coincidence I have a MS 290 and a MS 270 that I am selling so...

    HOA being difficult

    I had a customer ask me to clean up a fallen tree at his home, so we worked out a price and I arrive. I fire up the saw and start cutting when the HOA president comes running into the guys yard and almost knocks me over. He asked me what I think I am doing and then starts a huge fight with the...

    026 not playing nice.

    Gentlemen I have an odd problem with an 026. The unit came to me with great compression and ran once I put fresh mix in it. The issue was I was unable to adjust the idle. The LA screw did nothing, more or less. So it was given a vacuum and pressure test which it passed. The only issue was the...

    Saw runs champ with Motomix but terrible with mixed fuel....

    I have a 024 AVS that runs great with Motomix but really stumbles with e-fee mixed fuel. Very odd indeed. I have seen this with a MS 290 as well.. runs really well with the motomix, not so good on mixed fuel. Any ideas gents?

    I didn't need it, Nor did I want it. But I could not refuse!! Dammed CAD!!!

    Spoke to a guy a few days back on some saws he was getting rid of. Mostly parts saws. Really nice guy real talkative etc. His business is buying storage units and he had one from an old saw shop or I had thought. It was actually a scrap collector and the saws were smashed to bits. No plastics...

    Saw in for repair and found something I had not seen before.

    A couple of days ago I have a Echo CS-400 dropped off by someone for me to have a look at. I would start up just fine but at WOT it would bog down. So I thought ok check the easy things first, fuel line and fuel filter. I checked both in good nick. Ok so I will try and adjust the carb perhaps...

    Chainsaw related practical jokes

    Stihl 026 acting odd

    I have a Stihl 026 that i acting a tad odd. Starts up perfect and idle is great but from time to time after I finish a cut and move the saw to make the next cut it will not accelerate, trigger pulled it just acts like it is idling. Blip the trigger a few times and it is back again very strong...

    General Carb Settings.

    Gentlemen several weeks ago I was at a local shop and the bloke there has a booklet with all the Stihl carbs and the adjustments for said carbs. How does one get a copy. I believe the front cover mentioned something about continuing training, gold training or something like that. Any insight...
