Well, a free cake isn't bad! LOL

Now AS is offering a chance at a free Stihl 500i if you just download their app, ironically enough on a platform named "Gather". Yes, indeed, I bet it is gathering, alright. And all of a sudden folks who joined years ago and have three prior posts in all that time are showing up to say "I love...

"Could caus" is not the same as "prove it caused"; a key part of that act is that if a warranty is denied, the manufacturer/dealer has to prove the failure was caused by non-OEM parts or labor. That keeps a dealership from saying, "well, you could have loosened the wheel when you changed the...

Does the Magnusson Moss Act not apply to chainsaws? You usually see it referred to regarding automobiles and DIY oil changes and such things, but I thought it applied to other consumer product warranties as well. In regard to aftermarket parts and third party/homeowner work: " A manufacturer...

Thank you, much appreciated!

If it's lasted that long, for $100 I'd be interested in knowing what brand it is, if you ever have a chance to take a look, just to keep from beating up my Echo weedeater. I'm sure it's more expensive now, but I'm looking to do some brush clearing before spring and then won't ever use it much.

Looks like he’s got y’all trained already! Good looking pup - congratulations!

Was it her good furniture? :oops: ;)

Good news, thanks for the update! Glad it was something simple and relatively inexpensive.

I own and use Echo saws almost exclusively now, and I agree 100% with the advice and reasoning that Jmester offered.

Yep, makes you wonder. I despise design changes that lessen reliability.

I didn't know Stihl was doing that. Aluminum screws seem to be a poor choice for chainsaw hardware, especially since many aluminum alloys can be prone to stress fractures. Sure, my aluminum-screwed chainsaw is three ounces lighter (or whatever), but at what cost to longevity and serviceability...

I hate Youtube most of the time just because of morons like this. Just his initial impression put me off to start with, then the typical blah-blah-blah to add time. Then when he said he'd broken the tensioner screw but elected to buy the whole clutch cover "rather than fool with the screw", I...

Yep, the first package was returned because somehow the gallon jug of Red Armor got damaged and leaked onto everything else. I don't know how it was packaged to start with, but the jug was well wrapped on the replacement order. One of the saw bars and a couple of the rim sprockets I had ordered...

And the crank is not changing position while you're advancing the chain by hand. The clutch drum should be spinning freely while the crank stays stationary. I don't believe the crank is bent, either, but I'm definitely curious to see what you figure out.
