My Stihl trimmer had 10 minutes of run time in 5 years. Stihl was no help and it spent hours in the shop. Nobody could figure how why that thing wouldnt run. You could pull the rope till you died of a heart attack.
We had a stihl 044 at one duty station I worked at that new out of the box wouldnt run right. If you didnt get it started the first pull then it would not start the rest of the day. My husky saws have never seen the shop. I need to probably take one in. Dropped a tree on it and the kill switch doesnt work but you can choke it out.

sounds more like tech issue than saw, you have to mess with the carb settings to make it start and run easy, every time the temp changes. once you do that and put in e3 plugs starts in 2 or 3 pulls every time. seems to start easier if I don't hit the comp release too. the dealer here is pretty good he went through everything with me when I bought it too

Everything is ice this morning. Sun is out , hopefully it’s warm enough to melt the ice in my driveway.

Well Stihl couldnt figure it out either. Ended up replacing the saw after being down the entire fire season.

tough to figure that no one could but sometimes its just cheaper with something like that to replace it than spend hours trying to figure it out

And you worry about ground water. You gotta have snow and rain for that. Haha. You shouldn’t be in sunshine and warm weather when the resiof us are miserable. Haha. I’ll need 60’s to melt the ice in my driveway. Haha. Sit in the sun for me today Monte. Maybe I’ll feel it through good vibes. Haha

Yep, it’s winter until mid April here. These intermittent warm days is what make our winters so beautiful and mild here, the snow this winter is a huge benefit and will provide the most beautiful and green spring in years....the streams coming out of the mountains are just awesome right now.

I left that duty station before the replacement arrived

My buddy in Alberta lost about an acre of his land to the river last spring. In Alberta they call the nice weather in winter, Chinooks. A native word. I think. Haha. Probably the same all along the Rockies.

Has the rain stopped in Mississippi.

Yea for 3 or 4 days, gradual warm up then rain again. 75 Sunday then rain on Monday, typical Mississippi weather. Snowed a tiny bit yesterday.

Just the opposite, Husky chain saw never right, even after repair shop. Stihl saw, back pack blower and mini tiller is a beast, made in Va Beach, Va. Have the weed trimmer attachment on the wheeled tiller for the pasture fence line. Really admire the old timers (Pioneers) that did everything with hand tools and persistence...we got it easy. Good name for the Honda SxS line.
