Chainsaw Pics...

I was being sarcastic

 

Ya, I assumed it was a Stihl, but there must be a story behind it why it has Ryobi stickers on it?

 

Everyone knows that pawn shops only pay big on Stihl and Husqvarna lol
I'm running a 14" on the 241 and 12" on the Makita.
I like the control that a short bar gives and the bulk of the stuff that I've been cutting is 10" and down .
You won't save much time with a bigger saw in the "shubs" that I cut , just tired out sooner .

 

This one has turned out to be a good one!

 

A neighbor was given this the other day . So, he dropped it off here as it didn’t run . Had a bad iso. mount ,Needed a good cleaning , and the carb is waiting for a rebuild kit to arrive here . Came with 2 bars ( one needed to be trued ,and de-burred ) ,3 new chains ,and two that needed a bit of work . Gonna cost him the princely sum of $10 to get it running . Some folks are just lucky like that ...

 

Had the 056 out today. Buddy has a big ash that needs to come down sometime this week

 

Looks sharp with then cutter

 

My husband's friend picked this up at his town dump. It runs, but he cut into a stump that was hollow in the middle and had some road gravel in it. My husband is going to work on the chain for him.

 

056 made short work of it. 041 with 24” bar for scale.

 

Picked this one up recently. Bone dry in the tanks and preserved under a layer of grime and dust. No experience with this series, but it runs well with nothing more than a fresh drink. Gotta like that.

 

Does that have a rear facing cylinder? I’ve never seen one. It almost looks like an old echo EVL

 

Finally got to hold one.
I see these on CL all the time. A friend at work couldn’t get it started this weekend so I asked him if I could take look. Plug was bone dry. Not sure it was fully choked. Idles, oils and cuts.

 

It does wear some of the early 80's VL/EVL stylings. Profile of the front case, top air box cover, horizontal cylinder, colour etc. Reed valve setup on the Stihl though. I imagine it might have some of the famous Echo torque. One thing immediately apparent was the superior Echo oil pump designs used on all their saws. The impulse oiler on the Stihl is weak. Heck, the diminutive CS-302 can make a 28" slobber.

 

Do more with a Dolmar

 

My 372 pawn shop score Only run it about 15-20 minutes this evening but can tell I’m really gonna love it

 

Got a good deal on a strong running Dolmar PS 7300 H this week. My first Dolly and a nice compliment to my Stihl 260 Pro Arctic and 036 Pro.

A pic with my son's MS 170 to show a friend the size comparison.

 

I had to do this.
Very good deal on this. Hardly ever do I pay more than a c note for a used saw, this one I had to see.
Came with the unused 36” bar.
One home owner saw.

 

Dead man throttle switch is missing, kill switch is works but is physically broken and at 150 lbs and the piston looks good, a new pair of rings. New chains too. Looking for suggestions on the 36”

 

I should run a compression check on my 372 just for the heck of it. It feels good and have no reason for concern, just curious. What is the protocol, how many pulls on the rope
