    Jonsered 2055 turbo continually flooding

    Just wondering if these saws are known for flooding? We have one of these in my local RFS. The saw doesn't leak fuel at all but when it's choked we pull until it fires then push the choke in and pull until it starts. Commonly what's happening is the saw will not start but fuel drips out if the...

    Wondering if anyone has any ideas or pics on how to improve the air filter setup on 660s?

It seems that once the saw sucks in the chip to the air...

    What's a good, heavy duty bar?

    Hey all, Im looking for some new bars, initially for a 660 but ill also be replacing the bars on the 575 and 3120 within the next six months. I want to get all bars in 3/8 . 058. Im mainly using the saws for ripping or felling so weight isn't a real concern. If im blocking down its generally...

    Would you use .058 chain in a .063 bar?

    Hi all, I mainly run huskies and am trying to get down to two types of chain. These would be .325 058 and 3/8 058. I also have a 660 with about four bars ranging from 24 inch to 36 inch which are all .063. If i put a .058 chain on these bars i can see a little extra slop in the bar but im...
