chainsaw

Yes, I had to use a socket extension to hammer the piston out of the cylinder....lol The darker circle on the crown seems to have been the hot spot. My guess is low octane gas. The under side of the piston has melting showing too.

Just scored my fisrt big (for me) tree job. 10 trees to be removed All are within 50 to 75 feet of the main structure (house + patio) I numbered the trees on the pictures for reference (missing tree # 10) Equipment I plan on bringing to job site: -Chainsaws: 372xp (28 inch bar), Ms400c...

This is the same model saw as a Husqvarna 455. Saw is well used for the DYI'er: Brake handle is cracked A top cover screw won't stay snug. The duct tape was used to hold top on but currently 2 of 3 screws are holding. 20 inch bar. Starts and runs but seems to possibly have a air or fuel leak...

Hey AS! Love this community and all the helpful individuals here. I'm up against the ropes with this one. I acquired a few used Stihl saws from fellow who was offloading them, and they are WELL used (price was right). the topic of this post is a old-model MS391. It has served me very well for...

We were all beginners once 🙃, and making mistakes is part of the learning process! Comment down at-least one MISTAKE (even the SILLY ones!) you've made while sharpening a chainsaw chain (or, you see others making!) Let me START - 🏁 I've done this a few times, and one mistake I made was not...

I recently purchased three McCulloch chainsaws and have since been scouring the internet for hours trying to find saws that look like two out of the three I purchased because the typical model number stickers are missing, however I've been unable to find identical pictures. The saws seem to be...

I have 2 saws currently available, a Stihl MS 251 and an 019T topping saw for sale. Both have gone through extensive tune ups, and have new fuel lines, spark plugs, fuel filters, air filters, and BRAND NEW carbs. These are both reliable and great running saws. Extra chains and tools with each...

I wanted to ask this question for LONG! How do you guys know if your chainsaw chain is worn out? Are there any signs you look for? Any tips or tricks that can help me figure out when it's time for a new chain? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance :) Cheers!

Just wondering what kind of programs you guys might use, any labour costs and risk assessment kind of things. Or do you have anything in particular that you might think would help the industry!

Mine are: 1. 200T 2. 019T 3. 660 4. 261 5. 881

I have a stock 3120xp, maybe a year old. I was cutting some red oak yesterday and unfortunately the bar got pinched as I was making a relief cut in the log I was bucking. I was able to get the bar out of the cut but after that, the saw just dies when I try to go full throttle for cuts. Saw...

Greetings all! First time poster, but I have been creeping this forum as a technical resource for a few months. I am new to chainsaws and small engines in general. I wanted to share this rebuild project and sneak in a few questions :) My wifes sisters fiancé gave us a saw. It was in rough...

We really need to figure out a better way to maintain our saws. The biggest issue we run into on the job is, as always, dull saws that cut crooked all the way to hell. I was wondering what your recommendations are concerning the new strategies we are trying, and what strategies you’ve found the...

So my birthday is coming up soon and my buddy knows I’m into vintage chainsaws. Somehow he scored this thing for me a mcculloch 5-49. It’ll half run for a minute or two but seems to be fixable. I’ve noticed it’s missing something in this hole here. Would anyone know what it is? Air filter? I’ve...

Well its that time of year again. Long time lurker and figured I would help out some of you DIYers. I have some back problems and made a unique setup to do my firewood to lessen bending over. Everyone's ideas are their own, but most need a starting point. Most here know if you can keep your...

Hi, I'm looking at this Homelite XL chainsaw I know there was a lot of variations of this saw am I right in saying this is a super XL because the oil fill in on the top? Thanks.
