Hello all
I was recently gifted an old 08s for my birthday and am in the process of getting her running again (has good spark and compression)
The main issue I have is that even when I follow the correct starting procedure the saw floods and pours fuel out the back of the air filter.
If anyone...
Do you guys think electric or battery chainsaws can be considered safer than gas chainsaws?
In this article on electric chainsaws, they state "Why go electric? The reasons are simple: they’re safer, quieter, they’re less expense and they require less maintenance than gas models."
Do you agree or...
scored the piston on my dads 391 the other day while milling, saw went way down on power then just died
I havent pulled the cylinder off yet, but im just wondering, how much damage do yall think there will be? and could it be honed out and just put a new piston in?
exhaust side of the piston...
I think that when I bought my saws I focused on the wrong thing, namely a focus on the powerheads w/o a focus on "Perpetually-sharp chains", whether accomplished by buying chain in-bulk and making my own, or investing in some expensive machinery that'd quickly&easily sharpen a chain for me (IE...
Hey all,
I've put together a post on the uses for sawdust, but was wanting to know if anyone had other ideas?
I usually leave it behind wherever I'm working, but when I end up with a big pile outside the house then something needs to be done with it.
Do you all just dump it? Use it in the...
I've got a 1980's ish 70e that I want to sell. My dad was the original owner and gave me the saw and it was a beast. He gave it to me when I was a younger man as the saw became too much for him as the compression made it too hard for him to start.
I let it sit for many years and thought I was...
Hello all, I am new to site so thank you in advance for any help or advice. I have a bunch of equipment I work on so I'm sure I will be posting and helping as much as I can. Ok...onto my current issue.
I have a MS 661c with the M-tronic carb. It is used as a trencher rather than a saw. They use...
I have this homelite super 1130g that I'm selling. Saw starts and runs great, cuts like a beast. This is a very late version of these saws, has the hand guard and a rim drive sprocket which are not very common on these. Saw comes with the 42" homelite sprocket nose bar with .404 full skip chain...
Hello all, Im currently cleaning up a little Homelite Bandit LX-30 - I dont have many plans for it other than id just like to get it running and functional - Everything is in good condition, Im just in need of a new carb for it (Screw holes stripped unfortunately) - And then the black Heat Dam...
Hi guys,
I was going to make some comments on existing threads, but i thought I'd start my own here. Before I do though, I want to shout out to @Gaudaost and @trains for their help either through posting their own learnings or through directly helping me to understand things more.
A few...
I suspect this is a stupid question. Is there such a thing as a professional quality rope chainsaw? I have a double sided rope chainsaw which I have used for a number of higher limbs in the past but today, it broke. It is a fairly thin chain and not as high quality as a Stihl or Husqvarna...
I'm looking to buy an air filter and fuel filter for a 1-62. I haven't had the tank apart yet so I don't know if they have replaceable fuel filter or not but any info would be nice.
Just picked up a 066 without a decompression button and it has the metal flywheel starting to hear some negative views on the saw regarding a weak crank . Should I be worried or be looking for a 066 with the polly flywheel ? just want a reliable saw and don’t need a new 661 . This saw has good...
