HIPA chain

[Maintenance Chief]

I ordered a carburetor and some spark plugs from them today, hope those come.

Fair enough, my only experience with them has been chains and a recoil for a Honda 390. Chains are good and the recoil lasted a couple weeks before the handle broke and some internal parts went shortly after. It lasted as long the chicom replacement before it and didn’t even cost 20 bucks so I’m not upset.

I could be wrong and I don’t wish that they go out of business. It just seemed like a going out of business sale. If they can keep the price down after this sale then I’ll buy more when I need it.

I think you should be good, I was actually impressed that they emailed me the morning after I placed the order to offer a refund.

I've never heard any complaints about their carbs. Mine both work great and were about the same price as a walbro kit. Don't know anything about their plugs.

I don't know anything about their plugs either but considering Bosch is made in China now I'm willing to give them a chance.
Carburetors can really be a whatever thing ? But considering I only paid 11.00$ bucks for 4 plugs and a carburetor if I end up stealing the gaskets out of the carburetor I'd be ahead of the game.

I'm using my free 290 carb they had buy one get one
The first one worked perfectly

Yes you will. The carbs were higher than that when I bought mine. I can't remember how much though.

Has anyone bought their files or file guides? Just curious as to the quality.

I tried the hipa full skip 20" chain out today

Cutting hardwood it was surprisingly smooth.

I bought one, haven't tried it yet. Only complaint I have with their chain is the excessive initial stretch, but it's not a big deal.

Let me know if it works. It wouldn't work for me because I'm already signed up.

I don't know about the initial stretch "not being a big deal" for your drive and nose sprockets.

All chains stretch during their lifespan. These just seem to do all their stretching in the first few cuts.

I've been run the hipa chain i probably have 40+ loops left mostly 84dl
i wish I'd have bought a lot more of the 20" 3/8 full chisel skip
I sold most of them because
I never thought I'd like It but it's my favorite chain now.
No complaints at all from the logger's and firewooders i sold a bunch to
They wanted more but it's full price now.

I wish I'd have bought more 3/8 too. It was slim pickings toward the end.

Just looked and they dont have a very big selection of chain anymore, anyone know if this is just temporary or did they quit selling longer chains

I'm not sure what's going on. I'll try to find out.
