    Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new saw.

    ####, buying at MSRP is insane. Seriously insane. 5100/5105 walks all over the 290-family of saws. Lighter, more powerful, way more nimble, pulls...

    Carb Cleaner?

    Is there crap in the screen in the carb? Might be worth looking there. Basically, there is NEVER a good reason to run crap through your saw's...

    Thoughts on Dolmar 7900

    Assuming it is in good shape, no issues, no piddling oiler, I could see going up to $500.

    Big bar for Stihl 064

    36" with skip and the high output oiler should be OK, but not terribly speedy. 85cc isn't huge. I've done the whole scrounging for big firewood...

    Rope for felling

    3/4" StableBraid works well. You'll need a throw bag and line to set it, though, this stuff isn't light. But it is plenty strong and ties off to a...

    Need a new saw

    A 6400 Dolmar would be a step up. They are gutsy for 64cc. But 70cc+ is technically what you're looking for, so unless you find a bang-up deal on a...

    Do You Use Your Saws Brake ??

    I use it regularly on all saws that's have one. I have a couple saws that don't and they do not get used for woods work, just cutting downed logs....

    Chainsaw milling

    Not really. The saw falls short on HP and the plastic engine cradle will not likely take well to having a mill hanging off the plastic-mounted bar...

    361 rim sprocket

    3/8 7t or .325 8t are good setups for that saw's power. Might even be able to pull .325 9t on a short bar, say 13-16", if you're feelin the Euro vibe.

    Are 16" full chisel chains available ???

    Your saw runs Lo-profile 3/8", Oregon 91 series or similar from Stihl, etc. It cannot run 7x series 3/8" chain, even with the right bar/sprocket...

    Don't want to offend the wife, but...

    Keep it, run it, and appreciate it. If you need another, bigger saw, then go buy one. But the Echo stays. My 2c.

    18" or 20" Bar for 562XP for firewood?

    For the work you're talking about, 16" (3/8" chain) with an 8t rim seems about right. As for your dealer not "stocking" 20" loops, last I checked...

    Recommend a chain upgrade...

    If you don't do a lot of bore cutting, RS3 versus RS won't make a difference. If you do, then it probably will.

    ms 290 saw chain power and such
