    OT Chain saw woes

    Thank you for the backup as well.I can think of many ways a franchise organisation can get around Stihls demand for a sevice department.AsI have stated I can not believe Stihl is shipping to non sevicing outlets.

    OT Chain saw woes

    Thanks for the backup.I have not stated anything on this forum that can't be verified by Stihl.Anyone can disagree with me by stating anecdotal stories but to be called out as a liar will generate a serious response from me.As a rule I won't get into a pissing contest over differances of...

    Its official!!! I am an old WIMP!!!! LOL

    You are not wimp.A wimp would be satisfied drinking his Latte and watching someone working.A wimp would be scratching his head as to why anyone would even try to do what you describe.You may be getting a bit older as we all are but I doubt you are a wimp.Please don't beat yourself up,none of us...

    OT Chain saw woes

    Nah. Takes real stones to wear that hokey clown suit in public and I'm not talking about the kind some grow when they are at a computer.

    Chainsaw saga cont'd

    I'm sure you will be happy with your purchase for many years to come.Bet you didn't leave the dealer until the saw was started and serviced.Dealer service is part of what you paid for and in my honest opinion worth it.

    OT Chain saw woes

    While I can't verify that all sellers of Stihl saws service them I will bet dollars to a donut that Stihl is not shipping their products to a non sevicing outlet.Just because someone can get Stihl from a place that doesn't service it does not make my statement false.Just try to buy a new Stihl...

    OT Chain saw woes

    I don't have anything against any brand of saw per say.I have owned and been happy with other makes other than Stihl. My comments about Stihls being sold through sevicing dealers only is based on what I have seen locally and Stihl USA website.How non servicing sellers get stock from Stihl is a...

    OT Chain saw woes

    Take the thing back and get another one.There are many opinions about saws but if you are not willing to work on your own equipment then buy a Stihl.They are the only manufacturer left that requires seller to be a servicing dealer.As far as I can tell if you can buy a chainsaw from a box store...

    OT - who makes the best wheel barrow

    If you go to Lowes take a look at the Jackson steel wheel barrow.They have been making barrows for the construction trade for years.Every plastic cart or barrow I ever had cracked.Luck,JAinVA

    Stihl chain saw oil pump

    Service manuals for 036 and others can be found on E-bay.You could blow air through the oil line and filter but only after removing the oil pump. If you go that far the hose just pulls out so you might as well pull the filter off and clean it. To get the oil pump off you need to remove the...

    Stihl chain saw oil pump

    The intake for the oil pump has a filter screen. If you found crud in the oil tank chances are some has plugged the filter.If you flushed out the tank you may have gotten most of the build up off.The only way to remove filter is to unbolt the oil pump and remove the oil line to the tank.Not hard...

    OT two cycle oil question

    Marine two stroke oils are blended for water cooled emgines.Everything I have read says not to use any oil not blended for aircooled 2stroke apps.The money you save by using what you have may be repayed with a blown up saw.I'd use the oil for anything but a saw I depended on...

    OT- Stupid comment on TV

    The comment about the bootleg ammo is one that caught my attention as well.I said Huh? then pointed the error out to my wife.The thing that really got me was the specially issued model 38 special(Navy) laying there with the serial number filed off.The only person with a genuine southern accent...

    BOOM! Lucky day?

    That looks scary.Was the tank an ASME coded tank or one of the thinner models?

    Correct gas for chain saw

    I run ethanol free regular fuel in my Stihls. I add Stabil,and an octane booster with the Stihl Ultra oil.Unless you run hundreds of hours each year on the saw it is worth the extra money to give it good fuel and more important if you use it every day.E-bay is slam full of blown up saws, most...
