chainsaw

Anyone ever deal with a Stihl chainsaw where the chain brake will engage randomly in the middle of bucking cuts without touching the chain brake lever or doing anything that should engage the inertia brake? So far, we've cleaned out the levers and springs and put in some grease on pins, but it...

Even though the carburettor is only loosely screwed on, the choke lever is difficult to move (see video). As can be seen in the video, the choke lever can be flexed very strongly and really has to be pushed/pulled with force. Of course I don't want to risk breaking it because they are quite rare...

Lurked here for a while and learned some cool stuff, and despite the hate ive seen i picked up a Mini Mac for $20. It seems well taken care of, and runs with fuel sprayed into the carb. Hoping to rebuild the carb, and would appreciate any advice before i tear into it. Also, attached are...

I rebuilded our old ms250 that was my first chainsaw "project" The problem is i cant cut any wood with it even thin one like 10-15 cm wide and after a few trying i noticed black sludge/burned oil dripping down betwen the mufler and the engine (has muffler-gasket-cooling plate) Tried to tune...

My aged Craftsman chainsaw (or use a Poulan part) only needs the trigger spring to run. But I can't find one. Does anyone have one? Any advice? I'll be glad to pay (but not $$$ for an entire saw for parts). Craftsman chainsaw is model 358.355061. Trigger spring is Sears part # 60 530-025686. Or...

I have a collection of chainsaws that seem to all stop working when the weather turns hot. Yesterday we had a 261, electronic carb , 400 electronic carb, 500i, 201 conventional carb, and a 192 conventional carb on site. We used them from 7 AM to about 1230 with no problems, all getting gas from...

Hello Everyone, I have a strange issue with a 435. It will start and run fine, after some time idling it will bog and die as soon as you hit the throttle. It will fire right back up after and run again, revs fine, then again, after some time idling it will bog and die when you go to rev it...

Hello All, Long time reader, first time poster. I wanted to warn everyone of the underhanded tactics Farmertec utilizes. I like most other people, could not afford a big saw for the little work i was planning on using, and could not even afford a used big saw that i could find. So i was...

Hi guys, The recent detection of oak wilt in southern onatario (canada) has us paying more attention to our part in the spread of diseases through tree removal and tree pruning work. Sterilizing things like hand saws, pole saws and pole pruners is simple enough (spray bottles or buckets to dip...
