So, here's what not happening. My 590 saw is just over a year old. When I got it I was using 87 octane with Amsoil at 40/1 The saw ran perfect with no hesitation what so ever. So after reading the owners manual it says 90 octane or better. So with the 91 and the same oil and ration the saw has...

OK, So after yesterday someone asked if this would work with a rim sprocket. Yes it will. One thing I should mention is the paint from the saw did not actually show the amount of oil being dispersed. It was a significant amount . This saw is a Echo CS 550P . The saw yesterday was a CS 590.

OK, So I posted this on another site and it apparently did not spark any interest. So I am now posting it here. If I can do anything to make the future videos more interesting please feel free to let me know. This is my first saw related video. Ken

Can someone tell me what happened to the previous sponsor that was in the upper right of the home page?I was going to place an order and the previous sponsor is now AWOL thanks, Ken

OK, So I was watching a video of a guy doing a 029 to a 039 conversion. He was using a Cross pop up piston as well as the cylinder.Is there a place where I can do some research and get my hands on one? My local pawn shop has a 029 that runs but is in need of a bit of freshen up. I was at Cross...

Well yesterday I finally had time to assemble the bar and chain from Baileys.As of now I have no complaints.The bar fit the powerhead perfectly, and the chain had no slop around the entire bar. Well today I had the time to see how "Mongo" handles this thing.BTW, Mongo is the name for this...

So today I was glancing at my 041. His name is "Mongo" His bar was only 16 inches. Now I have 4 other in this length.Now with my friendly Stihl dealer just a half mile down the road, I saddled up and paid them a visit.Well for a 20 inch bar/chain combo it was well over my limit. So we mozy to...

OK,So after putting several tanks through my 025, it was time to sharpen the Stihl RS chain. I am using my "Jolly Star" grinder with the proper size wheel.I am taking off as little material as possible. When I get done it appears as if the teeth on the left side are slightly longer than the...

Well today I was doing a couple of chains.Anyway my wheel would not get to the cutter on the right side of the chain. Anyway the wheel is worn down and I placed a order with Baileys. My question is,they have two wheels in my price range. The $19.95 and the $29.95. I have always ordered the...

Have a look at this from walbro.

So I was getting gas in my truck and the owner of the gas station brought out a Stihl saw case. Fix it. Get it running.Now this man is tighter than two coats of paint.So with nothing on my bench I noticed a leak in the gas line. Did I mention the air filter was AWOL?.So a new gas line and air...

OK, Now on one of my saws I was doing a inspection of the piston and cylinder. With the muffler removed the piston looked fine. However, as I was peering down the plug hole I notice a small streak on the side of the cylinder.Now if the exhaust port was say 12 and the intake port was 6, the...

OK, so just thinking about this product.Alumaloy. It appears to have good reviews. Has anyone tried this? So I was thinking if someone wanted to raise the compression of there saw, they could melt some of this onto the piston.Appears to work wonders on most aluminum products.From what I was...

Well I new it had to happen. And yes it did. My trusty Stihl 025 has had intermittent oiling issues. So I went online and ordered a high volume pump from Amazon. For $8.96 I received the oil pump,the worm gear to drive the pump, a oil line and the impulse line. Anyway with the new pump...

So, I am sitting here trying to decide if I want to rering a good running 025.Has 130+psi compression.However it feels like it has much less.It seems to turn over especially easy when pulling the rope, but starts and runs great.So I had the recoil off and noticed the rope is just over the top of...

OK, Now moving right along.Are bearings for say my 025 available from my local Napa or other auto parts dealers? What about crank seals? I have read about this someplace down the line.Thanks, Ken

OK So here is my question.I want to replace the oil pump in my Stihl 025. The dealers price is, well lets just say not in my price range. So now Amazon has the oil pump 3201, the higher volume, the oil supply line, the oil filter and the drive gear all for under $20. Now are these all stihl...

So the other day I stopped by a local pawn shop. There sat a 029 that appeared to have been run hard and put away wet.The compression felt reasonable, so I got to thinking about doing a conversion.Well the shop sales associate asked if he could help. Price was $150. Just by running the chain...

Now I have had this saw for close to 9 years. It was a rental and badly abused. It oiled but not the way it was meant to. I did replace the clutch springs and put on a 13$ carburetor on it.Then came the new bar.It ran and cut but not what I expected out of it. So most of my cutting chores went...

OK so here is the deal.My 025 has had oiler issues for a while.The pump is working as I can see oil exiting the hole on the side of the saw. The bar is clean of debri.The wholes do line up.Anyway while running the say the chain is not getting oil but there is oil dripping out under the clutch...
