chainsaw

I think that when I bought my saws I focused on the wrong thing, namely a focus on the powerheads w/o a focus on "Perpetually-sharp chains", whether accomplished by buying chain in-bulk and making my own, or investing in some expensive machinery that'd quickly&easily sharpen a chain for me (IE...

Hey all, I've put together a post on the uses for sawdust, but was wanting to know if anyone had other ideas? I usually leave it behind wherever I'm working, but when I end up with a big pile outside the house then something needs to be done with it. Do you all just dump it? Use it in the...

I've got a 1980's ish 70e that I want to sell. My dad was the original owner and gave me the saw and it was a beast. He gave it to me when I was a younger man as the saw became too much for him as the compression made it too hard for him to start. I let it sit for many years and thought I was...

Hello all, I am new to site so thank you in advance for any help or advice. I have a bunch of equipment I work on so I'm sure I will be posting and helping as much as I can. Ok...onto my current issue. I have a MS 661c with the M-tronic carb. It is used as a trencher rather than a saw. They use...

I have this homelite super 1130g that I'm selling. Saw starts and runs great, cuts like a beast. This is a very late version of these saws, has the hand guard and a rim drive sprocket which are not very common on these. Saw comes with the 42" homelite sprocket nose bar with .404 full skip chain...

Hi guys, I was going to make some comments on existing threads, but i thought I'd start my own here. Before I do though, I want to shout out to @Gaudaost and @trains for their help either through posting their own learnings or through directly helping me to understand things more. A few...

I suspect this is a stupid question. Is there such a thing as a professional quality rope chainsaw? I have a double sided rope chainsaw which I have used for a number of higher limbs in the past but today, it broke. It is a fairly thin chain and not as high quality as a Stihl or Husqvarna...

I'm looking to buy an air filter and fuel filter for a 1-62. I haven't had the tank apart yet so I don't know if they have replaceable fuel filter or not but any info would be nice.

Just picked up a 066 without a decompression button and it has the metal flywheel starting to hear some negative views on the saw regarding a weak crank . Should I be worried or be looking for a 066 with the polly flywheel ? just want a reliable saw and don’t need a new 661 . This saw has good...

Well the wife will not be happy with me but i bought two MCV51’s that were brand new in box from 2012 that were lost in a saw shops inventory. Made in Germany by Dolmar with almost consecutive serial numbers!

Greetings! I've been a long time lurker, and only just now started posting. I am a hobby woodworker, and as I got more in to it with both flat work and turning on the lathe, the more interested I became in harvesting my own lumber. Fast forward to now, and I have a 56" mill with an MS661c, also...

Kinda hate to sell it but it’s time to put some cash away. Price is $650.00 Very very nice saw with brand new big bore kit done nicely. Saw runs very well and extremely strong. Only a few tanks on this since rebuild. 54mm @ 85cc. Saw has brand new oem clutch cover, brand new oem fuel tank and...

I’ve posted about this saw before. I am an intermediate saw mechanic so I don’t have all the tools but here goes. Attached is a video of the issue. Saw idles and throttles perfectly but Boggs in the wood, no matter the size. Less than 10 tanks through this saw! New lines/filters, carb is...

Any tips or tricks to getting the clutch side chain brake back on? Beat up the internet to no avail.

HELLO/INTRO: Hello there! I'm a newbie to the site and a little green with chainsaws too. BUT I'm making up for lost time, as I've seriously caught the chainsaw bug. As I review tools over here, I already have a couple of small ones I didn't have to buy (Echo 352 and Dewalt 60V max). But I'm...

hello, just wondering if anyone knows what this piece is for? Thanks

Hi there I recently bought an old Stihl 015L and I have been taking it apart and ordering spare parts that I could find etc. and I have of course noticed how expensive it is to buy a new 3/8 sprocket. The spur gear i have found this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:518513 and will try a 3D...
