    Guide bar 'profiles'

    After looking at the many guide bars that have been made from the early 1900s to today. Ive started to wonder about the varying profiles or silhouettes of guide bars. The early ones seem to be much taller, when viewing them mounted on the saw. The radius of the tips were much bigger. Some...

    Damage to saw by starting up and not using

    Hi My company does regular weekly checks on a Stihl saw by basically starting it up and running it at high revs for 20 seconds and then shutting down. It rarely gets used for cutting. Can someone tell me if this is bad for the saw and how it is bad, and also if so if there is any evidence or...

    Montgomery Ward 24078 B

    Picked up a Montgomery Ward chainsaw. Badging is "TMY 24078 B". I can't find anything on it. It's in some pretty rough shape, and I'd love to find some info on it. Get it cleaned up and running smooth. A friend of mine wants to get into cutting, and I'd like to get it running and squared away...

    Stihl 048 AV muffler problem

    Hello, everyone. I've been reading the forum for a long time, but it's the first time I'm writing. A few days ago I bought my much-desired Stihl 048AV. I bought it from England at a good price, the seller said that the chainsaw didn't work. I disassembled and cleaned everything, the problem was...

    Are chainsaws intentionally sold weak out-of-box? Q's on mods & chains

    tl;dr- Which, if any, modifications are worth doing to an out-of-box chainsaw? ~~~~~~~~~~ I'm hoping to understand this a bit more, I learned about two general 'types' of what I can only describe as intentional-weakening of chainsaws (out-of-box) and want to learn more, specifically: #1 - It...

    Husqvarna 235 chainsaw not start

    Started easily, but would die before could use. Squirted one second blast of carburetor cleaner into spark plug hole. Now not start. There is spark. New plug, gas, air and gas filters. Inject more carburetor cleaner, or is that what caused problem?

    Newer to falling trees

    Have seen some great info on this site and thought I’d join to get some potentially lifesaving answers for some things. I’m pretty new to taking down trees, been starting smaller working up. Eventually I have some serious things I need to get down. First on the list (not in level of danger...

    Northern Michigan tree identification

    Right now, I'm pretty amateur at identifying different types of trees and as it is Early Spring here in Northern Michigan, it is hard to identify tree types by their leaves, because there are none.. So I resort to identifying trees by their bark. From what I've seen - to me, this looks like some...

    Chainsaw that dies when throttle applied - impulse line?

    Hi all. I'm so glad I've found this forum. Been fighting a problem with my saw for months and have been too stubborn to pay a shop to fix it when I know the answer's out there and I enjoy hands-on work. Here's the situation. Have an Echo CS-400 saw that I've used only a couple of hours a...

    Why do you choose McCulloch?

    What draws people to McCulloch saws? I've ran Homelite, Poulan, Stihl, Lombard (Knock Off), etc, and so on, but nothing matches the experience that McCulloch gives. For me, especially, it's the 10-10 series. With the double louvered muffler.... It is louder than all hell. I love it. I can...
