Okay, what if you can turn the control bolt counter clockwise until the cows come home and it does not stop nor fall out? Basically the control bolt is a 4 sided affair held in place by a spring in a slot of the pump casing, in theory each side of the square, lets call them 1-2-3-4 should give...

Could well be something broken or missing that only allows one 360 degree rotation of the adjuster screw- but it was not obvious when I pulled the pump apart. I am not familiar with the style and pretty sure this saw is the only saw I own that uses it- but believe it to be much the same system...

Had a rain day, so pulled the oil system on the 2186 and went through it. Seems to work okay, all lines and grommets clear and in good condition, pump and worm gear fine, worm gear drive arms engage clutch cover bell cutouts just fine. No stops on the adjuster screw, it just keeps rotating...

Agree 100% when you are cutting nice clean logs, but you can wreck a chain in one cut if it have been dragged and the bark is loaded with dirt and pebbles- or you strike the ground- or the tree was standing next to a busy dirt road all summer and each time a vehicle passed it was coated in a...

Sounds like I might be pulling the oil pump some time soon then. I have it set to "max" and getting through two tanks of hard working with the 26"bar easy to one tank of thin oil. Would have liked to have found a 2188, but they are not too common here- 390's are dime a dozen- but they are Orange! :p

Who owns, or has run a Husqvarna 385/390XP? I have a question regarding the oiler settings. Is fully seated "0" and each 1/4 turn out gives one more flow advancement, once fully around the clock anti clockwise- does it return to "0" or "1" or whatever the lowest setting is and then you start...

Good example of a Pine log that has been laying on the ground and sunk in somewhat, allowing the soil and pebble ingress into the cavities on the bark. Dead sitter to ruin the edge off of any chain cutters that come into contact as they go through. Admittingly, this cut has gone a bit far...

My guess- too long! ;)

I'm only guessing- but imagine the Farmertec 200T seals (if sold as such) are just the 026 seals in a different bag.

I have a large axe scar on my left thumb as I once owned a Curly Coated Retriever that loved to catch kindling off the chopping block as it was being split. She used to jump from side to side behind me, until one day whilst using a larger axe and handle choked so most of it was sticking out the...

Take the top handle apart and scatter the parts, leave it an hour or two, don't cheat with before photos or consulting Uncle Google and time how long it takes you to figure out how it all goes back together- should be good for hours of entertainment. :D

Opening line to many a joke- but to answer your question- as viewed, these ones walked into a 26, 36 and 22 respectively. No such things as a lightweight bar around these parts- go solid or go home. :p

True that- but if you are any good and only have a sharp 5/32 at hand, you can file sharpen most any chain from 1/4 to .404 with it.

I will admit, I am not the Worlds greatest fan of the 2 in 1 filing system tools- but over the last 40 odd years I have turned a LOT of new chain cutters and rakers into steel filings using nothing more than a hand held round file and a hand held flat file. Easiest way to purchase the correct...

Yes, for .325 chain you require a 3/16 file. 3/16 or 4.8mm refers to the diameter of the file- not the pitch of the chain, which is .325 for which there is no real fractional cross over- like .375 and 3/8- defined by measuring the distance between any three consecutive rivets on the chain and...

A Jonsered a Stihl and a Husqvarna walk into a bar.......

I'll go through three, 20ft, ok logs, then the chain is not cutting. Is that cut down 3 20ft trees from standing- or make 3 cuts in a 20 inch log? Perhaps the sharpening technique just requires a bit of work- what sharpening system are you using? Photographs of the cutters of the chain in...

With the added bonus of it can be unscrewed and you have a T27 wrench for Stihl bolts! That was a tamper proof wrench with the hole up the guts of the tip, it snapped on a stubborn cylinder bolt- kept showing up like a bad apple as I had not thrown it out- had the idea of grinding the busted...

Having a non detent valve, the original lever was starting bore a hole in the middle of my palm.

Sometimes the older girls need a run as well. 1989 Husqvarna 61, 22"bar 3/8 full compliment chisel chain.
