need a new chainsaw

Stihl.
Best saw ever made.
Try and get an old one. Fully buildable and last a lofe time.

All saws that run on gas need repair. #1 is the carbs were not built for todays gas. They gum up and wont start after a year or so. Always run them dry before storing for the winter.

You can buy carb rebuild kits. They are super cheep. I have yet to see a saw i cant make run with a rebuild of the carb, a tank flush and new lines or sanding the rust off the mag with some fine sandpaper.

I have built some stupid 2 stroke engines. They weigh in aroumd a pound or 2 are 50+ CC and spin to over 20,000 RPM ALL DAY LONG.

I got heavy into small 2 strokes in Tahoe. I would modify some for my smoke jumper buddys and then got into racing 2 stroke powered boats. (RC)
