Are parts still available if I should come across one that's a good deal?

Not even looking for a discussion. I just wanted to know why people liked them so much when we have Stihls, Echos, and in the old days, Homelites that seemed to work just fine. Just asking because I don't know. The end.

I was looking at another forum where the poster said he buys bearings that are shielded on both sides, removes one of the shields, and stuffs green grease into the bearing before sealing it up again. What is the is green grease he is referring to? The application for the bearings is for the...

Woodtroll: Thanks a lot. Appreciate your comments. HA

I need to change oil, and clean battery terminals. Is there a way to take just the generator off line, and NOT take down house power with it? Thank you.
