Hello everyone. I was working in the garage on a "new to me" Homelite Mini SL Automatic today and got to thinking about what my strengths and weaknesses are when trying to bring a saw back to life. Now I've been into saws for nearly a year now, and I love it. But I've learned from my mistakes too.
My strengths (I think) are general cleaning, carb rebuilds, gasket replacement, fuel systems, and some electrical. Oh, and finding most of the parts that I need.
My weaknesses are recoils, (I don't like messing with them) chain sharpening, piston and cylinder work, and so on.
What are yours? How costly of a mistake have you ever made while repairing a saw? Ever been injured? There it is. Now all I have to do is get my buddy from the shipyards to repair my 750 muffler and all will be well in the world! Best, and be safe out in the snow. Max.
