    Screw up

    I have an 042 Stihl that is a dandy old saw when it runs .Every time I use that frustrating SOB it needs a rebuild on the carb and I've always ran it dry . That thing pizzed me off to the point I nearly flung it under one of my dozers and flattened that thing like a pancake but I refrained...

    They say to run them dry if you are going to store them. Does it work,good question ??? I've done both and in spite of popular opinon found no diff ,strange as that may seem .I do think it's a good idea though . In addition to those two older saws I mentioned my old mans' Mac PM 610 was...

    Screw up

    Well ,I certainly cannot explain how one chainsaw can run for decades and have no rebuilds .If I could people would call me guru of carbs of which I'm not .I cannot explain nor have a clue why this happens but it does .:?

    Screw up

    That's what it was but it didn't act like one .The thing would run ,all out 4 cycling like it was supposed to .Into the cut it got with the program ,just like it should .However at the end of the run it would not back down on the r's unless I hit the brake . It acted just like it had a tuned...

    Screw up

    I had to run it to break it in . That little pup will leave my 048's and Mac SP 81 in the dust . The saws don't get much use in summer so I had to make the best of it . Now ,the other saw I got from this site a 2100 Huskey ,I'm going to have to get a snowmobile handle for .My fingers aren't...
