Where are they ripping? Splitting the seam, catching them on sharp objects?

If you just swapped cylinders, I wonder if you need to adjust the timing to the new Ripsaw cylinder. Also, if the cylinder is modded for more power, you might need to do a muffler mod to let more exhaust out. I wonder if that is part of the issue, the saw is effectively trying to exhaust through...

For the chainsaw and the kid? Not worth it, the kid is too much work!! 😂

That's a bummer, sorry to hear about that!

Good luck with the 076! I worked on an 075 and it wasn't until I was replacing the oil seals that I realized that someone did a mod and modded a 051 chassis to work with the 076 equipment. The 051 has two different sized oil seals and I couldn't figure out why the 075 oil seals would not fit...

I may put it up on eBay as "Slightly used OEM".... 🤣

I bought this Huskvarna 55 from a forum member @brushwacker , great guy to work with. He was straight up front that it lost compression and possibly had a scored piston, however I have been wanting to get another 55 and this one looked to be in great shape otherwise. Within 10 minutes of getting...

Yeah, a good cleaning goes a long way. I bought a Homelite SuperXL a few years ago from an antique store for a steal, the pull cord was just hanging out, no recoil. Got the saw home, took apart the recoil and cleaned everything really well (lots of old dirt and oil). After putting it back...

Looks like 11101400613 and 11101400614

Is that gold plated?? Platinum dipped?? Ouch...hopefully it is a rock solid coil and you are able to get your saw up and running again!!

Yes and many Husqvarna parts cross too. I have heard nothing but good about them, though they seem to be a lesser known name compared to Husqvarna or Stihl. Similar with Dolmars, I had never heard of them until I started frequenting this forum....there are many brands out there and many that are...

You really can't go wrong with either a mTronic or non-mTronic 261, I have an mTronic 261 and am very happy with it (bought it from someone who straight gassed it). Aftermarket and OEM parts are plentiful. There might be some growing pains when the 300 comes out so being one of the first, you...

Apparently they spent so much time setting up the shot and focusing on the wrong thing to see that they had the chain on backwards... Watching the video, it was funny to see one guy bounce spinning chain off the ground after making a cut...

That saw looks well used (like most McCullochs), I look forward to seeing your work on it and how it turns out!

Decomps are for girls....
