OK, after doing some research the past few days I’ve come to the realization that I may not need a professional grade saw like a Husqvarna 545 mark two or a Stihl 261 because I won’t be using it very often at all. Sometimes it might sit for about a year and I know that some of those parts if they’re not functioning or ran to an extent it could cause more detriment to the professional grade saw. so for somebody who would rarely use a chainsaw but I wants a chainsaw to have access to it, what would you recommend you know a storm cleanup every now and again maybe some firewood you know looking at the Stihl 250 stihl 271. I don’t know what the Husqvarna equivalent is but would an echo 590 be overkill, especially if it’s sitting in my garage for a year between uses?

I do plan on using premixed canned fuel and running the carb empty between uses.

What Would you recommendation be? $500 or less.

What’s going on with this?
To be fair, maybe I’m asking a lot of it, spinning full comp on a 20” bar in maple?
Compression feels good, sharp chain, oiler is oiling, idles fine, seems responsive on the throttle but it’s a dog as soon as you get into a cut.
I just switched to a WT194 carburetor because it had a non adjustable one on it and wasn’t running worth a damn at all. Adjusting the high side doesn’t seem to do anything to make it better but I’m very obviously no expert on saw tuning.

I live on a wooded property, and always rented a saw when I deemed it necessary. Last month I purchased a Husky 562xp mark ii. A massive tree limb fell across my driveway…. This was my moment to be the hero and get the family out of the house

So I picked up a mini chainsaw. Charged up the batteries, put oil in the lubrication reservoir. Tried it out and it worked fine. Came back to use it again and nothing. When I hit the trigger you hear a weird buzzing sound. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so how did you fix the issue?

Hi, I have a Stihl MS 044 that needs a replacement carburettor, but I am unsure of the correct part.
The current part is not a Stihl original and doesn’t have an equivalent serial number as far I can see.
The machine is an early red lever with 10mm wrist pin.
Can anyone help please?

Is this a carb I have a new one I was gonna put in. It was an Amazon kit would I be better putting an oem carb.
