Order a set of rings on ebay.I had a Stihl MS 250 with an 18" blade. It was a work horse. But I found out this morning that it is toast because evidently I screwed up and failed to put oil into the marine gas when I last used it. Repair guy told me that it has no compression and it should be tossed.
I use it at my hunt club to clear roads and trails.
I'd be interested in opinions on Echo chains saws. I understand they are American made.
Thanks.
The new Stihls do seem finicky about cranking, my brother has a tree business and he just bought a new Stihl. It is a task to cold crank but once it cranks it runs hard. One thing I don’t like about the Huskys is the chain adjustment screw location.the Echos seem decent too, he has a couple Echo limb saws and no complaints, they are a lot cheaper too than the Stihls too.
I like husky,but stihl is just as good. Main thing is to stay away from the smaller home owner saws. A 55cc saw is small as I'm going.
