Burning up my saw by milling?

[betterbuilt]

Milling also creates much finer sawdust than regular crosscutting. I have an 066 and it I've noticed small amounts on the filter housing between the filter and choke. My mechanic told me that this is not good - will score the cylinders and reduce power. Any comments on how this affects the saw or ways to reduce it?

I'm hearing the HD2 filter is the way to go. You need to make sure your getting a good seal where the filter touches the housing. Mtngun recommended filing some of the metal of so you can get another thread out of it. I'm gonna do that to mine before it sees any more cutting.

That's cool BB. Did you do the research to find all this out? I spent days myself researching bar mount profiles to make the conversion to wood. Local shops around here had no clue.

I think I read a old post by BobL or Trever and they said it would swap over. I saw a Ts760 on craigslist for $40 and figured it would be worth picking it up for the any of the parts that the 076 uses also. Well the cover was a straight swap and I now have one for each of my 076's. Local shops are pretty much useless around here. the largest saw most of them carry is a 460 and that one is 5 years old. I have finally found a husky shop that is actually willing to work on a saw. The other shops would tell me I need to buy a newer saw that they know how to work on.

Awesome. You should have come down the 50 miles or so to our camp. We were south of Wellsboro PA like 15 miles as the crow flies. Maybe next time.

That's not to far like a little over an hour. Let me know next time your down there. BB
