Just curious your two cent s on the failure here. There’s the first signs of discoloration of the rod at the top of the it. This is the third rebuild of a massively abused saw. No crank play on either side. Didn’t vac before tear down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, been having an issue with my 241 once it’s up to operating temp. It does a great job of idling and then spoiling to WOT makes great rom in the cut, 4 strokes as soon as lifted, but it is slow to come back to idle and it sounds a bit lean. I tore it down and replaced the solenoid to the...

I don’t use this saw enough and I hate it. Look at it and make an offer or don’t, at least I’ll be able to tell my wife I tried [emoji28] I’m the second owner and first to put fuel in it, previous owner bought it new from Randy. This is a V2 with normal size spark plug. Ported, lots of...

My work purchased a bunch of t540’s and none had felling spikes. Can’t figure out why that is and all the pictures of them online don’t show them. I figured out the part number, 515997201, and it’s NLA. Anybody know why? A chainsaw without any dawgs is very weird to use and I’m not sure where...

Does anybody recall if the CMR7H spark plug is used in ope? I found one in my spares but I don’t know if I have a saw that uses it...I have all of stihls current pro line up except the 261 and 880. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have another 462 in the states thanks to @Alpha01. I was a little excited so I got a 25” es light bar at the local John deer/Stihl/Echo dealer. They focus in that order and I mentioned I had a 462 to put it on, he had never heard of it, which isn’t surprising because he isn’t much of a Saw...

I’ve recently decided to adjust my string trimmer, Stihl FS 56 RC. Come to find out it has hex head needles...with really tight clearance I can’t get my typical sockets in. What’s a good work around tool? I was going to get the Stihl screwdriver Q-SW 8x200 (5910 890 2420) but then I looked at a...

I’m going over seas for a year so I am clearing out the saws I don’t use and some projects saws. None of the saws have been used in the last two years but ran and oiled when I drained them and ran them dry. The Echo is for parts, as best I can tell through the exhaust is that it ate a ring...

Well I have two saw that provided 4-5 years of 10 cord a year service that got set aside 2 years ago due to new saws. I had an intention to sell them a year ago but life and obligations got in the way. Anyways both saws were starting to have carb problems that I couldn’t figure out. They got new...

Ok, this seems crazy, it really does, but it scares me. I was told today by a manager at my company that he was told about a program that offers husky battery saws with a 50% rebate from the EPA. I would like to know if any dealers have heard about this? I have always laughed away battery...

I’ve found a small nick on the sealing surface of the case and unfortunately lets tiny bubbles out. If I put dirko on the area when I install a new seal do you think that will fix it? Anybody manage to solve this problem? I have to wait for a new seal to arrive before I can try anything. Sent...

Fixed the saw a year ago for a tree service and they’ve spent the last year running it daily. That an incomprehensible amount of use to me. Well the last time it came in the spark plug electrode broke off and after bouncing around the combustion chamber a little ended up in the crank wedged...

So this is the fourth cylinder kit I’ve ordered for the 390 from HL, over about a 4 years period. The quality seems to be dropping as the last two have looked nothing like the first two. I’m trying to build a pop up 390 but this crap is killing me. The last cylinder I had the saw mostly together...

I found a husky 346 on a selling app last year. One owner and he only used pre mix husky fuel. It was ported last January by Miller Mod Saws, I don't know what numbers are in it but it was muffler modded by him as well. I have 4-5 tanks of 40:1 through it. Really runs strong, and put a brand...

Up for sale is an 026 Pro, I assume it's an earlier model. This saw sat for quite a while somewhere, I purchased on eBay for $75 shipped and put $150 in parts. It has new A/V, boot, carb kit, fuel, oil, crank seals, drum, sprocket and filter. I might be missing something on there. The hearings...

I've been kicked out of two Facebook chainsaw repair groups. I think since I have a solid base of experienced saw guys here I tend to run my mouth. Anybody else been booted from the face books saw groups? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got an 029 highway clutch for replacement and the nut collar is 1/16" taller than OEM! Can't get the drum and sprocket on far enough to get e-clip in place... I've messaged the website that sold me these faulty goods. I'm a little disappointed, never run into problems with highway stuff being...
