Just another junk chainsaw

You made an error, but I fixed it for you.

Most I see dont in firewood cutters.

But this one guy I worked with and retired from same place as me. Always brings his 034 super he bought new clean as a pin.

He goes over it with fine tooth comb imho.


Back when it was in for a fall out of a tree and the af took a beating and got replaced. Pointed out to him most of his flocking was gone gone.

So this new oem filter went on.

I run a Red Beard oiled foam air cleaner on my Echo 590. Did the muffler mod as well and I oil the Red Bead foam with Bel-Ray filter oil.

I always forget to update this place.

You know the old saying about putting lipstick on a .

I’m just glad I could talk him into a better bar for a few buck more.

Guys I just did something while showing a guy a chainsaw part to put his mind at ease. He didnt know me from adam.

Even though I told him I can be vouched by many.

Check out how I did the pics I sent him.

This one is SOLD

Hopefully my echo’s and poulan’s pull this as good as the new 23RS and LGX LPX.

Huskys new full chisel 325.

2009 NE 346 50cc e-tech.

Figured I would find scoring after pulling rope at sellers. Decomp plugged but spark plug was loose. Nasty smelling old mix.

Can’t win them all. So will be a project for later.

They we’re running it like I used to. 16” 3/8.

Want to peek inside see how bad the old mix and loose plug scored it. Could see it through plug but not how bad.

Hoping cylinder will clean up and piston kit, regular muffler, maybe flippy cap or reg cap for that awful green cap.

I finally got familiar with my new Oregon 410 chain sharpener yesterday and did the 6 dull chains I had. The chain clamp is not the most secure, but it did fine. I found that most every chain had every other raker/depth that needed trimming - weird. I like the setup for that, as I've always struggled with filing the rakers.

Haven't tried them yet.

Everyone says to buy the CBN wheels, but I doubt I'll take the ~$100 ea plunge.

Don't bother unless you are running lots of loops like I do. The initial cost is not warranted unless you do many loops at one sitting. The Oregon grinders are really Tecomec grinders rebadged. I actually modified the vises for better hold power by making the spacer studs smaller.

The issue with all the wheels, CBN or vitreous is they must be kept clean and the stock wheels need to be dresses and redressed regularly and the chains really need yo be pre cleaned before grinding as the accumulated swarf on the cutters will foul the wheels and cause excessive heat buildup which causes the cutter teeth to overheat and become brittle. There is a bit of a learning curve associated with grinding any chain.

I'll have to investigate the "spacer stud" mod. Do you have pics/details?

Yes, the wheel needed several dressings since it was getting gummed up. I cleaned (and oiled) the chains well AFTER, but not before. I'll clean them before, next time. Next time, I'll also wait and just do all the raker heights at the same time. I was swapping wheels every time. Slowed the process a ton...

Do you think this vise "upgrade" is worth it (~$100)?

Note: This vise assembly will replace the one on the Oregon model 520-120 if you add a washer under the knob. I then made a. 200 thousand thick washer/spacer to go under the knob and it works perfect.".
