You'll have to share with us how your "Masterminded" saw runs!

I wonder if a little STP (Super Tomcat Piss according to my Dad) would act as a tackifier mixed into standard motor oil?

I thought I'd post my own experience with a Farmertec 372XP kit saw from HL Supply: Mine has very few OEM parts except for the air filter cover, small end rod and clutch bearings and a NIB Walbro HD12-1 carb. Just wanted to mention that the Walbro carb was well worth the $90 entry fee. With the...

I know this thread is well over a year old but thought I'd post my own experience with a Farmertec 372XP kit saw from HL Supply: Mine has very few OEM parts except for the air filter cover, small end rod and clutch bearings and a NIB Walbro HD12-1 carb. Just wanted to mention that the Walbro...

I caught it. Give me a gold star!

I still have my dad's from the 70s. It has it's original straight, fiberglass handle. When my dad passed I ended up with it and it was missing a spring as well. Just couldn't get rid of it. Then I found out the company has been re-established and is making both new axes and repair kits! So it's...

How did you know an 8N restoration is on my bucket list Bill?! When my wife and I retire to our Montana property in a few years, I'm going to start looking for one. Going to do the Ford flathead V8 conversion thing.

Not really "Neotec" dark but I think it will look kinda cool!

The starter cover that came with the saw kit is the same cream white color as the other parts. I just bought the Hyway one because it was supposed to be better quality. I'm not expecting everything to be a perfect match in color. I've experienced differences in the color of aftermarket parts in...

Yeah, I get that but this is a bit more gray than I'm used to. Then say the mid-90s 026 you see on my signature for example.

Hi guys, I purchased a Hyway Taiwanese recoil starter assembly for my Farmertec MS660 clone saw kit project. People have said the Farmertec unit is weak. It came in a light gray color I haven't seen before. My other genuine Stihl saws have always had off-white as the contrast color. I'm going...

Anyone been having a hard time reaching an administrator about their Gold Account? First I had to change my email to get forum updates. It said my email wasn't accepting emails. Then I saw the $2.00 charge on my PayPal account but have not received my upgrade status. None of my messages have...

Update: I found both the sleeve and washer on Bailey's website: https://www.baileysonline.com/ Stihl part numbers: Sleeve - 0000 993 0508 Washer - 0000 958 1234 I've given this a lot of thought since reading drf256's reply. Although I have these parts coming to complete the installation, I'm...

Something to consider. I wish I'd waited a bit longer before ordering the kit... If I decide to move forward on the adjustable oiler will I be able to find the washer and sleeve online? Or will I have to order them from Stihl (my local Ace Hardware is a Stihl dealer)? Thanks for the heads up...
