    Ethanol-free fuel now prohibited in Canada's gas stations?

    Noticed shell no longer had an ethanol free option here in Ontario. Been looking online, and it sounds like Canada may have prohibited gas stations from selling anything with less than 10% ethanol; starting at the end of 2022. Is that the case? Is the only remaining ethanol-free option the...

    MS261-C Smoky, Out of ideas.

    Got myself a 261-C the other day, heard they're very good saws and this was incredibly cheap, so thought it was worth a shot. Seems like the saw is all good, it just smokes quite heavily when under high load. I've done a bit of searching, I can rule out a chain/bar issue as it doesn't have one...

    Fuel flooding in to cylinder - Craftsman

    I purchased a Craftsman (yes I know) chainsaw at an auction a while back. I've replaced the primer bulb, fuel lines, and filter. It's always been difficult to start but now I've got a new problem. When I go to pull start it - it has a large amount of fuel in the cylinder. I pull the spark plug...

    Terminology question to help source fuel hose connectors

    Just wondering what these male/male connectors to join pieces of fuel hose are called. Hoping to use one of those with a duckbill valve to jimmy rig a tank vent. Cant find anywhere to buy them with the terms i'm searching so far. I only see them as parts of hose kits.

    Carb primer bulb air lock/pressure building

    Hi, I've just tried to give my Husqvarna carb a spruce up, but when I try and prime the saw there is pressure building in the 3 fuel pipes, and no fuel circulating. Also have huge pressure in the tank too. Any ideas?

    Husqvarna 235 Primer Air Lock/Not Starting

    Hi, I have a Husqvarna 235 X-Torq that bogged down completely when under load, tried to do a carb rebuild (most probably badly), and now it wont even try to start. Also seems to really be an issue with the priming system as when I prime it, pressure builds up in the fuel pipes and in the fuel...

    Poulon fuel line disconnected

    I think I finally found why I cannot start the chainsaw. Looks like a fuel line came off. Does anyone know how to go about accessing and fixing this? In the photo it is near the end of the screwdriver.

    Chainsaw Smoke

    Hi, I'm sure a few of you have seen my dreaded MS211 project on here over the past few weeks. I've managed to get the saw running finally, if not a little lumpy. There's a definite issue with the choke which I'm fairly sure cannot be fixed at this point due to damage of the chainsaw's frame. My...

    MS211 Fuel Issue

    Hi, I've got a stihl MS21, hasn't started from the day I've owned it. Tried pulling it and an ungodly amount of fuel has pi***d everywhere, the exhaust is full, it's coming out of the carb and dripping down the handle. Something catastrophic is wrong, but what?

Unfortunately the little tiny screw that holds the choke baffle on the shaft came loose when the motor was off. and when I tried to start the chainsaw it fell down into the case but it got caught ( between the flywheel and the case) before it...
