Before I go spraying it on saws, I just want to make sure oven cleaner won't harm saw paint? I recall Ron saying this, but I have also heard of people using it as paint stripper? Maybe it only eats some paint? I wouldn't want to accidentally strip his saw.... LOL That would be hard to explain.....

Its never hurt any paint I sprayed it on ? Just try a spot on the bottom somewhere first.

I just saw that home Depot has lowered their price on brand name yellow can pizz-off to $3.39 a can! Cheapest I have seen it. Good thing I have a $25 gift card. Seems like this is one product Canadians might get a better price on. :msp_thumbsup:

Ok, thanks. I think I will try it on the inside of a cover somewhere. Maybe under the clutch. I am buying a few cans at the grocery store today, I won't be able to make it to the orange box store any time soon.

The oven cleaner will take off pine pitch and baked on stuff but if it's oil and sawdust the cleaner wont penetrate,scrape off first.
It wont usually bother real saw paint,but if flaking off by itself it may.

Yes ......... I just did another one , had to go 2-1/2 turns to the right on it. 2 turns should be close.

I bought brand name easy off in the yellow can. I am in love with it. I have used maybe half a can so far, and I have cleaned more than I could with a whole can of engine bright! It even costs half as much as engine bright. I normally used compressed air or a screw driver to knock off most of it, and just let the cleaner deal with the residue and stuck on stuff. I have found I can use way less than I thought. I keep applying it like engine bright, but I don't think it needs that much. I bet if I apply it lighter I can still get it clean, and use less. Do I need to scrub it? I always have used the dollar store Chinese bristle paint brushes, but this stuff is eating the bristles off. I bet they will be gone when I go back out....
This stuff also eats gaskets! I just misted it on a gasket, waited a minute, and a putty knife peeled it right off, no scraping! Never using a gasket scraper again... So far it hasn't damaged any parts. It cleaned a stihl hand guard, black rubbery plastic, and even took paint over spray off.

How heavy do I really need to apply it? If I let it sit 10 minutes or so, is scrubbing required? I have been wearing rubber gloves and a face shield. Ever since I got an eye full of carb cleaner, I always use a face shield when using aerosol sprays.....
You have converted another person to pizzoff.

I just use a parts washer brush,don't eat it. A little scrubbing helps.

Needle to high ? Them carbs just suck . I guess they work OK when they want to. LOL One screw to adjust everything is just messed up !
Think I have a good one if you need it. Got fully adjustable ones too,but you got to drill holes in the side of the case to be able to adjust them. No place for a screwdriver on them.
All the air boxes I have seen so far stihl have the holes in them for the screwdriver ,just not the case .

Just tried out my new grinder and wheels. Did 6 chains for a guy. Them wheels are NICE ! Gets very very close to what a file can do , sharp wise. Way better than stones. And no dressing ever !

Run a vacuum when you clean the wheel.

May get warm during use.

If it gets hot. Spray a little water.
