A Good Deal?

True but I don't want it to die and wait 3-7 days for the part to show up.

 

I only have 2

 

I have three saws.

 

So earlier today I tried the saw out on some pretty old fallen oak (probably been laying down for 4-5 years) and it would cut it but slow with heavy dust. I will try to throw a new chain on it tomorrow but I was just wondering if I may have lowered the high idle too far? Or maybe the rakers are set to high? It's 404 chain so that wouldn't surprise me.

 

That's what it came with. I know what one looks like. I never dealt with it as far as maintenance goes though.

 

Funny you say that, the chain I'm putting on it tomorrow is a 3/8".

 

Would that explain the big saw chunks though?

 

Well I have four other chains of the stuff so maybe I'll drop it by the small engine guy to have them professionally sharpened. I thought maybe I did good enough with the one I sharpened but obviously not.

 

I have a few I could sell you next time I go through your area for work

 

Let me know what ya got next time you're around

 

You want a project or a running saw? Haha

 

I don't have the time or shop space for a project so a runner would probably be best . I'm also a broke college student, and projects can get expansive ya know?




Sorry for the hi-jack upstate

 

So went to tension the new chain down today and realized the average scrench wont fit the tensioner. Where can I get one of these tools, a local auto parts store?

 

What kind of tensioner is it?

 

Upon further investigation I found the screw that runs the tensioner is missing, looks like I'll have to order one.

 

I was gonna saw...a screwdriver. But see you figured out the tensioner is gone.

While you have that saw apart why dont you clean it a bit...blow it off with some compressed air.
