Going with what I have on hand cause I just want to get started….Hope to tear this down, optimize it (squish, porting, timing), or possibly ruin it, and put it together again. This was my first saw from fifteen years ago when we bought our current house and had to start heating with wood. I knew...

What crafts do you like to make? Be sure to post pics.... I have a little homemade forge and like to mess around making things like keychains....

(You can tell by the length of this whether you want to keep reading or not…) To learn something new you have to dive in, right? And be ready to get roughed up in the waves. How else are you going to learn? I’m a school teacher. I teach English—-poetry and literature and grammar. Right up your...

Sincere question (no offense meant)....Is this forum primarily geared toward professionals, or are newbies welcome too? I'm very new at this, but I'm very interested. I want to learn and post and get feedback, but the chainsaw section gives the impression of a "pro's" only? Not rude, just not...

I was wondering if I could get some general guidelines for chains and bars. I really don't know much about them. I currently have five bars and chains for my saws. I swap them occasionally and just go by whether I can get things to fit and work. I know that can be a crapshoot. I've heard that...

Why do these chains have double rakers side by side? My brother and I both have the same Stihl saw. He was having trouble with his chain/bar overheating and he switched over to a standard single raker and it was night and day. It also makes it harder to file down, and the progressive style...

I have a little Echo that is another one of my formerly abused and neglected chainsaws....But I've turned over a new leaf now...I got it running again (yanked off the carb adjuster limiters and got a spline tool) and decided to give it some extra room to breathe. It's a small one, but still a...

I hope this is the right place to post this....I have a Poulan PP5020AV. I bought it new a number of years ago back when I was a bit naive. I used cheap gas and oil and thought that was ok. Anyway, it stopped working for me after a couple seasons, and I just stuck it in the shed. Now I'm trying...

I've just recently emerged from a dark dark place. I have five chainsaws that I successively bought, abused, and stuck in the shed over the years. Now that I have seen some light, I'm trying to redeem myself....One of my project saws is this little Jonsered. I had to order a carb adjusting tool...

I searched the forum for this question, but didn't find the exact answer I'm looking for....my brother just gave me a new Stihl saw (for Christmas)....It has a two year warranty, I think....I'm just getting into this saw modding thing and am seeing the gains by just fixing the muffler....I...

Looking for info on this chain. I have two of them. I'll try to see if I can find better ID on them, but both of them have ended up cutting crooked for me. I'm wondering if it's because of the big fins between the rakers and teeth. I do sharpen myself, but I've been careful at it along with...
