Nice, I mean such a waste haha...

That's go close to doing it. A much better show than my 460 that had a hard intake boot - every time the handle flexed to the engine the revs changed. Put the saw down it's near stall, pick it up...

Depends what grade of 'dog roll'...

Micky Duck I have used a few of their bits, they seem to be one of the last sources of certain older Sthil model parts like the MSxx0 series saws which seem to be returning a lot of 'no longer...

OMG. Chinese parts...

Sorting out a MS360 at the mo, assumption that all would be somewhat OK in it considering where it came from - the engine runs mint and the rest of it is pretty good. A...

Yeah big saws with only one dog are a bit naff, if you've got an aggressive chain on and it's a bit bitey you can feel the powerhead flexing against the dog. Feels a lot more solid and stable with a...

Ahhh I thought someone had one on here - yours would be the third one I've seen in nz along with one other parts saw... One got sold on tm a while back, if it was cheaper I would have got it out of...

On the other hand it is a Stihl so it's probably going to be trying to start while it's lying in state...

Chain, bar, saw...

I've used top handles, do their job but don't feel as nice and balanced in the cut as the normal saw designs. That Stihl model that came out with the chain brake activated by releasing the rear...

You're doing better than me - but batteries do work better if you use the tool, have a short period for the cells in the battery to re-equalise and then use it again. This is the cordless grinder...

Six months is generally fine with 96 or non-ethanol 98 treated with stabilizer, I normally drain the bowl on engines where you can get to it without having to run them out. Two stroke usually has a...

That's basically good advice for any smaller saw - not just battery jobbies. Keep the chain sharp however you prefer to sharpen them haha and the rakers at spec and they'll cut like little troopers....

Pick your tool for the job. Battery saw for a few cuts when you just need it done, petrol for a lot of work and match the size and weight of saw to the job. Biggest issue with battery saws is you...

They sort of have a Husqy/Echo-ish look about them don't they? Apparently a lot of those saws are contract-produced by a conglomerate outfit that owns a lot of factories...

Yeah that is a good anti chain isnt it? Skip tooth as well as 'bump' drive links... You can see on the tip the bumps sticking up covering the cutter tips stopping them grabbing. Probably not the...

Ok, on this topic opinions are like bumholes - everyone has one and most people think their's works the best...

What I do as I have 'my' saws but end up getting fixer uppers or ones that other...

Ha, they aren't that hard to work on. I'd give you a bit of a lead in but I'm not to be honest totally sure which bits they are quoting as needing replacement. What are they calling the 'main...

Interesting one, the thing with the carby is fuel evaporates out even when the tank is full and it's the oil reside that creates half the issues. I tend to leave the fuel tank tipped out so there's...

Probably not worth paying someone to repair it but they aren't too hard to work on if you have the inclination to have a crack yourself.

Yeah, nothing flash about the Shindaiwa's but they just go about their work. Have a few usual things that go bad I hear, but from my family in the hire trade they get them cheaper than the...

Those little Dolmar/Makita jobs are quite underrated. Actually that's a fair point about brand loyalty, some big name saws are contract built in 3rd party factories and are effectively the same saw...

Get it sorted, don't keep using it like that as it can cause things to go south in other places. What has been suggested so far is a good place to start, but if you set the chain up correctly and it...

Air filter, exhaust gauze too. Check both of them and make sure there's no weird restrictions stopping it breathing.
