Nothing I like more than a good 'E-Satrt' system on a chainsaw (see image)

These ads always give me a good laugh – full of things like ‘engine oil cap’ (it’s a 2 stroke), Safety floodgate switch (?), branded spark plug (bet you it came with a torch), an easy access ‘dial’ for chain oil

And how about the good old magnetic flywheel (points to clutch) and a “Highly sensitive FBT” (whatever that means)

The one I like best (not in this ad) is the old “beware of inferior copies” and shows a photo of a certificate in Chinese.

Others include the direct air injection carby, and the air injectior (primer).


I would be kicking up a stink with Ebay - just keep saying not as described and take screen shots before they change ad.


Its a pain when saws kick back

I bought a Victa VCE1640 which was a $250 saw new (mine was $99 display model) and several times now I have walked away swearing – kicks back hard sometimes.

Yet the old Ryobi I tore down and bodged back together (straight fuelled) starts easy and has never kicked back with any great force

So a ‘good’ brand is no guarantee.

Have had all sorts of saws kick back on me – including one husky 236 when I was attempting to do the Husqvarna approved method (see below).

Needless to say after it kicked back I sounded like Tiny Tim for a while afterwards
