Looks like you guys were busy.

Charlie, is that a MS290 Stihl that you are running? That is what I have with a 20" bar.

and some more to show how hard everyone worked, this is the pile we moved today, and what it looks like now. we only moved cut logs, and then only the ones we could get too. still moer, but we got the stream cleared out, and stoped while we could still move.

I had a Poulan Wild Thing that I replaced my MS290 with. The Poulan I had never had any issues with. In 2007 is cutting up fire wood. it had been running fine, then the next weekend I went to start it, it did not want to start. I noticed that the trigger interlock was not working. Took it to a shop and they tried to tell me that it needed a new carb, fuel line, filter along with the handle due to varnish in the system whicjh was bull. They sold Huskavarnah which I did not like at all. Got my Stihl and as you stated, pricey but worth every penny!!!!!

Yeah, know what you mean, we broke 3 saws while doing the job Bud's mculla, my pulin wild thing, and jr's husky. sucks that they sit so long, and deteriorate without use.

hey that husky was cutting good till I fiddled with the carb adjustment-all my saws need a little TLC -that they haven't been getting lately -that is going to have to change very soon!
and as soon as I can get time Buds should be back up and running then I'll start on your poulan -uh well Janets poulan
