Got a craftsman branded poulan 2000 with a Walbro wt-20 carb. This saw ran as of 6 months ago Been trying to rebuild the carb to get it running again. Took the carb down. Removed both Welch plugs. Cleaned internal and external parts with spray carb cleaner. All ports were open. Then cleaned...

Refurbishing my 041 in prep for selling it. Upon reassembling it I discovered the throttle rod, 1110 182 1505, has gone awol notwithstanding being placed in a magnetic parts tray. Anyway, wondering if any of you stihlholics may have one? Seen some on eBay but hoping I can do better Thanks, jerry

Anyone had issues with red kote lined fuel tank discoloring your fuel and coating?? your fuel filter and fuel?

Tried to start my MS 310 in prep for selling it and it wouldn’t stay running. I’d prime it and it would start but wouldn’t continue. Fresh fuel, new filter, cleaned carb, checked impulse and fuel lines but no indication of leaks. Surely I’m missing something but what?

So I have an issue I’ve never encountered. Parts of the symptoms I have but not as this is encountered Compression is 100 psi. Tunes well and starts and runs good BUT it sometimes runs like it’s really lean. Flat runs like I’ve got throttle fully depressed but not so. I tested for compression...

Getting my xl2 up and going. Combined 2 into 1. Minor problem is there is a very little white death on it. I wire brushed using my drill and was able to expose “clean” magnesium. Because of this I want to paint the saw. Before that happens I need to do a little body work on the former white...

Rebuilding a backpack blower. Cleaning everything in prep for reassembly. I inherited this from my ex son-in-law about 10 years ago. Thinking this thing is 10-12 years old. Got couple questions: 1. - While cleaning case where jug mounts and notice what looks like motoseal. Don’t think anyone...

My old backpack blower wouldn’t start. After testing I was thinking stuck rings. Upon tear down I was definitely correct. those things are STUCK all the way around. was able to get a couple small pieces out. Been soaking in carb cleaner for three days; no joy. Never had this happen to this...

So enjoyed the Christmas thread so thought I’d continue the giving opportunities. Otherwise, these could make their way to the recycler. Had offered these up on the Christmas thread but still got them. Anyone wants one or all just pay postage and it (they) are yours. Got more I need to move...

What is the consensus on .40 cal target AND .40 cal defense ammo. Lots of info online; too much to wade through

After couple of mild freezes still got berries. Bitter though. About 1/2” to 3/4” berries and 2” dbh

Bought a HF Predator 8750W/7000w generator for storm use for the house and general construction use in the barn. 20a breaker on the generator keeps kicking off. Found out Friday that my old craftsman table saw draws 22amp at 110v. My generator has two 20a breakers for 110v and one 30a breaker...

I’ve always heard the spark should be blue. However, I have over 70 running saws and I have NEVER seen a blue spark when testing with my inline spark tester. Currently I’m trying to get a homie 330 running. Pre-tear down I had no spark. While torn down I retested and have reddish orange spark...

Need shop manual for pioneer easy arc p20. Already got the ipl. Thanks, jerry

Troubleshooting a saw and the wire from coil to spark plug comes off in my hand. It’s a newish wire. I know cause I put it on bout a year ago when I rebuilt the saw. Never could get it to run so I put it aside for later. Don’t recall if I ever checked for spark then but when I checked today is...

I tend to not use gasket between jug and case when replacing rings. I always coat both surfaces with motoseal and then install jug. Just took one down I rebuilt from a basket bout a year ago cause of low compression to replace rings. Compared new rings to old. SAME GAP! Whoah! When cleaning...

Looking to convert my ms250c from tool-less chain tensioner to manual tensioner. Looks simple but before i jump in i need to ask: is it really as simple as removing tool-less hardware and installing new stud and adjusting mechanism? How do you remove the device where the back stud goes? Anything...
