Here's a pair of Super 2 Pics: Is that closer to yours?

Could be about the same year as this one: I've always liked this saw, but I have worked on Homelites that are nearly ten years older. Can you post a Pic of what you have on board?

I have delivered firewood for 20 years or more. A precise firewood calculator like Nord is trying to build is likely an impossible mission. There are too many variables. What I usually hear after I deliver and stack split hardwoods is usually what the customer asks: "How on earth did you get...

I used to think there was a huge difference between mulberry and hedge. This year I burned both, and the hedge fires sparked almost as much as the mulberry. I was a bit surprised, but that's what happened. Both had dried for at least two years. My conclusion is that either one can be dubbed...

I collected a half truckload of mulberry (Hedge) last month. It burns hot when dry, and I call it "snap, crackle, and pop" wood. Stove's door must be closed when burning it. And, be careful when opening the stove's door to reload when a mulberry fire is in progress. Just MHO.

You can sill buy a Stihl MS361 if you look hard enough. Not cheap, but I have used this one for years and it still runs fine: I will never regret buying it.

Still one of the best chainsaws that I have ever owned: The Stihl 026 PRO is a keeper. Always starts, always runs well. One of my all-time favorites.

I really think that you are not overpriced. In the past I have been terribly underpriced. I cannot believe that three years ago I sold two 028 Supers for less that $250 each with sharp chains on board. Both ran flawlessly. At least I had enough sense to keep one for myself that I used last week.

I didn't realize that my 026 PRO is now worth $500. :D

My suggestion is that next time do not buy a used saw from Home Depot. I never have and never will. HD cleaned your clock by selling you a non-running Echo 590. Perhaps they told you that it was a non-running saw before you paid for it. If not, try to get your money back.

I have two Stihl small screwdrivers: one that I keep in the shop and the other that I take to the worksite. Both get quite a workout because they work. I have other small ones but the Stihls are my favorites.

On occasion when this happens I remove the bar and chain, start the saw engine, and check to see if any bar oil is flowing it out the port when I goose the engine. You could have just a clogged oil port that is blocking the flow. That's worth checking.

Never tried this before on a Husqvarna, so I cannot predict anything positive, but it might work. You could be biting off more than you can chew or the saw can work with. "Too many notes?"

Agreed. He may be trying to re-invent the wheel. The .325" pitch is a good match for an MS 250. I'm not sure that it's worth the effort to change it out.

OP said, "I have a 16 inch 3/8 LP that I think would be a great match for the 250." Seems to me that if that were true, then Stihl would have outfitted the 250 with that chain and a bar to hold it." Just MHO.
