General chainsaw use question - is it recommended to switch on the chain brake and leave the saw running at idle on the ground for 30 seconds - 1...
I did, actually a guy I had wanted to quote cutting a large tree down in my yard told me he also does firewood. He's an older gentleman who works...
Maybe worth also looking on YouTube. I recently disassembled several components on my Stihl saw and YouTube was an invaluable resource for helping...
Well popped my Amazon.com carburetor into the 026 this afternoon and she fired up and ran after some adjustment on the H L screws and the idle...
Dang, it's pretty rare we have issues with Amazon, we have Prime and usually packages are delivered in 1-2 days.
Appreciate all the advice. I was beginning to get a bad feeling about this dealer, at least he only charged me for the fuel line/filter and air...
I think I figured out that choke/actuator issue at least - when I pulled the carb earlier to inspect and reinstalled it I got the kill-switch wire...
[ATTACH] Was tinkering with this today at lunch just to take a look at the carb and condition of the lines myself. I noticed during re-assembly it...
Mine looks identical to that one, with the riveted nameplate, looks pretty old. I ordered an aftermarket carb, various hoses/lines, intake boot,...
Is there a decent brand carb that would be recommended? The guy at the dealer seemed to agree it was something in the carb but for him to replace...
Hi all - update on this 026 saw - got it back from the dealer yesterday after he replaced fuel lines, sparkplug, air filter, and cleaned the carb,...
I am still just starting to get involved with splitting/stacking/seasoning wood myself. None of what I have split will be ready for this winter. I...
I feel your pain - I feel like every weekend day I have set aside that I plan to cut or split wood my plans get hijacked by other honey-do...
Ah - that makes more sense now. Thanks for the tip.
What is CAD? I feel like I've seen it elsewhere on the site. To me it means Computer-Aided-Design (engineering term).
Added some to the stack this weekend. Started splitting some of the poplar I have (on the far left side of the pile), finishing up the last of the...
Well, live and learn I guess. I am still a novice with chainsaws so just was following advice from my father in law to have it serviced before...
Where do people order aftermarket or OEM parts from? Any good websites?
So the dealer began by apparently cleaning out the carb, inspecting gaskets and parts within the carb, and said in his opinion the gaskets inside...
Yeah I have also been reading elsewhere on the internet that crank seals could be an issue. I have a good bit of experience installing/replacing...
