Hey folks, Betzy from Ontario Canuck land here. I just picked up a dual buy with this MS180 as the the second saw, he said it stalled while stuck in a tree and never ran after. Well maybe, I’m not not a mechanic so I’m no expert but it’s seems maybe they had some non mixed gas used here?? The...

Planted this JM last summer. A couple of months ago this single branch started growing like wildfire. It's probably 4 feet longer than the rest of the tree at this point. I'm noticing very little growth on the rest of the tree. Is this kind of thing normal? There was grass around the base of...

I need some help with my jacaranda. Planted this from a seed and planted in the yard in North Central Florida. Thought it died during the winter, but it started growing again and now has these four “trunks”. All are about a thumbs width. Each is pretty strong and has a bunch of bottom off...

I'm replacing the intake boot. Probably end up taking off the cylinder now also. So my question is on the second picture. There's a line on the piston and there's some metal on the edge of the intake ramp. Is this bad? Compared to tge new intake boot , the old ones mating surface gasket was...

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.

Hi everyone, looking for some advice. My brand new cs will only start under full throttle, can't even get nice sputtering with choke on. It will also run at full speed when the gas tank gets fully depleted. I tuned it up what I thought was nice but this didn't solve my issues. From looking it...

Hello all! Long time lurker and first post, very exciting. :D I have an 034 Super, all original looking and very clean, that I got off a guy selling out a rather large collection. Upon detailed inspection when I got it home, I noticed a slight score starting on clutch side of exhaust port...

I'm having trouble identifying this tree at the rear of my property, in Miami, Florida. Nobody seems to know what it is and I'm afraid it could be of the poisonous type... Does it look familiar to anybody?

Hi everyone, I am new to the site but I am really in desperate need of help! I purchased a non running Wacker BTS1035 cut off saw on FB marketplace, I know not a chainsaw but pretty damn close. When I got it home I realized there was only a weak/ intermittent spark. Bought a new coil, cleaned up...

I planted this tree a few years ago and it is slowly starting to gain some ground. However, the main trunk split into two main branches one of which is not thriving as well as the other. And, this year we have a number of smaller shoots that popped up. What is the best way to manage this for the...

Hello folks, does anyone know how I might get in touch with one of the administrators over this Arboristsite?

I recently picked up on the cheap a cs352 for orchard work. Very little use on the saw. I think it has sat with ethanol gas in it for sometime. New gas, cleaned carb. It runs the same. In and out of 4 cycling while in wood. Can't tune it out. Pulled Carb limiters. I can't find a carb rebuild...

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

while taking apart my Makita 6421 yesterday and and removing the cylinder and piston I noticed this sitting in front of carb near the intake boot. I don’t remember seeing it when removing the other parts. It’s the little black bushing in the pic with the decomp. I included the decomp to give you...

Hi, I bought a Sachs Dolmar 116 online, it started and ran. I stripped it down cleaned it and reassembled and now I can't get a spark. I checked and the spark plug is fine, I've checked the gap on the coil and that's set but still nothing. i didn't clean the ignition coil with any harsh...
