Yep. Air pressure and brake cleaner. Used to use carb cleaner until I removed original "Zip" lettering on an old Homelite. Brake cleaner seems to be a lot easier on things. But I'm still careful with it.

Just buy a new saw!

Evening fellas, sitting here rocking my youngest who is fast asleep on my chest! This is the perfect way to unwind because I know these days are numbered!

Works good doesn't hurt paint

Old gas works good also.

Hey all...

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Trying to get this saw to cut worth a *s-word... Filed the depth gauges and the cutters are sharp... Still doesn't cut well... Clutch might be slipping lol

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Sitting still the chain moves kinda clicky... Like the clutch is messed up

 

[Hedgerow]

Can't see where a slipping clutch would lead one to suspect a dull chain..
You may have other issues.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

The saw is a cluster of small issues... Drags were set to high to begin with now I'm not sure

 

[Hedgerow]

Does it have the right rim on it for the bar and chain it has?

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It has what grandpa put on it back before he died I'm sure it's right it's a 3/8 set up

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It's an outboard clutch so it's kind of hard to know what rim it is

Good evening y'all. What have y'all found to be the easiest method for cleaning flywheel covers? All those tiny little rectangles take forever with a brush.

I soak them in WD-40 and use a rifle bore cleaning brush.

Well the 7000 and the 7000 Plus aren't shelf queens anymore. Gassed and oiled and fired up pretty easy.

Be nice to close in on a better set of kit parts, but this is all AM, so OEM consistency can't be expected... But isn't that part of the challenge? Making stuff work? It is for this old fart... Having a better handle would be big for me as I use these creations as much as I can. I keep bending handles!
