I'll concede that I do in fact need the crank re-assembly tools aforementioned. Have been getting by with the aid of an arbor press and a few things to go with it. While I do have a Husqvarna splitter and clam shell and other pullers for taking everything apart, I'm just one misstep away from having a failure, come time to assemble. I feel so bad now, LOL.

These little guys however are just slicker than slobbers for putting seals in. Husqvarna 272, Jonsered 670 class on the left, Stihl 0 something something(036 or 044 can't remember) on the right. I would hate to be without them now.

Stihl has a real goodie in this spring tool for clutches, it does not know what kind of saw you're working on either, and I don't tell it any different when its pulling on a Husqvarna clutch spring.

Yes, just place the little antenna near the spark plug wire and push the switch to "on", and away it goes. Works on 4-strokes as well, only one cylinder though. Not sure as to the how of it, was able to set the governor speed of a Tecumseh generator, so it does work on both style of motor. SS
Same on the PET Tach...2 or 4 stroke singles ..all the mowers ,saws, trimers ...Etc, get a work out on the tach as a final OK.

Yes - but I assume the 302 will do the same job on chainsaws, unless you happen to have a two-cylinder one. Most don't of course, myself included...:)
Yup..the 302 is fine for most things i do. Was wondering if you have a snowmobile along with other equipment where you are that has more than a single cylinder motor so you need a multi cylinder Tach. Never a bad thing to have something that will do more than the minimum you need though.

I could of course use it on my Honda snow-blower and my car if I wanted to, but I never have seen any reason to do that - I just bought the tach that was available from that dealer, as I needed one for the saw I also bought from him (PS-5100SH).

At the time I already knew enough about those Dolmars to not buy one without also having a tach.

Even with the tach it became a cheap saw for what it is here, as the exchange rate was very different from what it is today, and the US dealer did his job properly + some.

Yep, I still have it, as it was the saw my late wife (Witchy) wanted back then, so I am sort of attached to it.
It hasn't been used much though, as it isn't a well handling 50cc saw in the woods - works well for blocking logs on the sawbuck though - but then almost any well running saw does.

The picture is from her first use of the saw in 2006 - I guess she got a bonus t-shirt in the package as well, but it was on the large side....

The protective trousers are Stihl and the helmet Husky, just to round it out....

I am sorry to hear of your loss Niko and can understand why you would wish to keep the saw. Please except my sincere apology if mentioning about it has caused you distress as I would not wish to do that.

No problem, I wouldn't have mentioned that saw at all if it was.

Ok ...this is not strictly a tool but I think this is way to good a book not to at least mention . Some will have seen it, some will have turned its pages and to some it might be knowledge already learnt and experienced @SawTroll ...to all, I advise you to seek it out if you haven't done so. :)

I have that book, but never read it all - initial reading found a few things to disagree with...

For me it was a view and information that i had know knowledge about...but .. i can understand that it is a subject far more familiar to you. I thought there may have been a chance that the book had been through your hands.

Of course the bark should be down on most layers in a stack of birch, to let as much humidity as possible evaporate - but the top layer should be with the bark up, to protect against rain....

... that's just another theory of course, that some times will be proven wrong...
