Tks for this info.. Youmay have saved my Homelite that I used since 1972.. I have 2 Sthils with 18 inch bar and 25 inch.. This info I think would be good for all saws... tkanks.....
Excellent advice.. When you mentioned Homelite saw I didn't they sold that anymore.. I have had a Homelight since 1972 and it leaks oil like a sieve.. But it is just a few pounds and good when hunting and climbing up mountains etc. But no one can stop the oil leak and it is a mess. I only put in little chain oil or else I try and dump it up side down to save the oil.. Here in AK it is expensive just to dump or burn..... etc..
You guys are lucky that you have a dealer to go to. Here in Alaska we don't have a qualified dealer to run to but knowledgeable on parts of ECHO type trimmers.. I think from what I read here I will Take out a warrantee for a year or so.. But again we only use it for several months as due to snow and weather etc...
I just purchased a Huskie 126 LD trimmer. have not put it together yet just reading some instructions. I would like to get a 4 stroke but can't locate one with Huskavarna etc. so not sure about the line feeding....
good answer. Makes sense...
