Ok guys, As I am new to owning a used 044 and 201T and even a 193T I have some questions for doing some maintenance to them. As I was pulling all my saws out of storage to look them over and fire them up, I noticed that the 201T was missing the fuel filter. The 044 I have is the Flock Air...

Back in the early 2000's when I first got into drumming and bought drum kits and cymbals, stands etc off ebay, a friend recommended paying with Postal Money Orders. If the seller tried to rip me off, my friend who had done ebay longer and played drums for decades longer, said it is technically...

This 2nd pic is what I got. Needless to say, I reacted in 2 ways. One, HE was right about ebayers showing STIHL or other FACTORY parts and when you get them, they are ASIAN knock offs. The 2nd reaction was to write to the seller to express my disappointment and expectation for refund...

Bill G, hmmm. Must have been before my time. Speaking of cheap Stihl parts. Another forum member and I have been talking my way through carb repair and hard to pull start my 044. He and I discussed the Stihl Part numbers for the rebuild kit, The Zama, RB-36 kit, and what others may have if...

I am not sure if I ever bought anything from customchainsawparts or not, I know that I have bought odds and ends for my 075, 051's like flywheels, mufflers, other wear items, gasket sets and fuel system lines from various suppliers from ebay or private sources. . To this day, I believe I have...

Nice to meet you, Bob. I am over on the other side of AMERICA near Baltimore/ DC

brushwacker, I find myself telling stories to friends, kids, and even people like us on forums. If many hadn't happened to me personally, I would find them hard to believe. My fed ex story goes back maybe 15-18 years when a package or documents I was expecting didn't show up for maybe a...

This I know. Yet believe it or not, I want to go on a vacation with my wife around different parts of Canada in the future. I will never forget my very first trip was out in your area way back in 1978 when I was 14. Now I have some guitar playing acquaintances out in Kelowna and Squamish.

hacskaroly, the checks never did arrive at either place and that was a year ago now since Dad died.

bigbadbob, here in 2025, it is totally foreign to me that there are now places of business here in the US that do not accept CASH. We all know what that is about. Goverment, controlling and monitoring income and outgo of income.

Not Bryce related but USPS related. Both incidents last year. I sent paperwork and checks to a local Maryland State office ( Vital Statistics) to get copies of my dad's death records. The 2nd was an envelope with 2 checks to pay an installment on a loan to a guy in Florida. I sent both...

If I watch British movies or shows. I can't understand a word they say, so I have to put the subtitles on. I joke and say that I wish they would speak English.

Do too, to some degree. My Dad's family is from Little Washington, Carmichaels, Nemacolin Then ya got the Philly speak. Hard to imagine a few hours East and you get a total different speak.
