@JJKY does that saw have a Zuma/Zama or a Walboro carb

I have no idea.  I haven't fooled with it, other than to remove the fuel and stash it (it leaks).  That's good advice Toad, I'll get around to monkeying with it one of these days. .   

The Homelite I ended up with works fine, but it's basic, and has no kickback brake.

Its usually one brand or the other. Zuma stamps their name on the carb "bowl".

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.

    Stihl or Husqvarna.


I recently bought a Husqvarna rancher and its awesome, but both of these are the correct answer.

 The rancher is nice, i used it a good amount. I am also interested in a battery smaller size saw to de limb trees. One thing i have noticed, i always borrow my friends little 14 inch  gas echo for the past few years just for that reason, and with that saw having a thinner chain it actually cuts really good. I just got a new chain for it recently too because i been using it so much. One of these days i need to give it back to him and get myself something similar, i just don't know if a battery one is the way to go or how long it will last. I just find a battery one appealing because it makes no noise and is probably overall comfortable to use i would imagine.

 The puland saw i also got from a friend for 100 bucks, he needed the money so i got it, it's decent enough. I had it for about two years, it even comes with a book saying this is not a professional saw, it's for occasional use or somthing. If you are doing big stuff, it does cut pretty slow. For example i was trying to use it on this tree here, and even though it will get through it, it just overall takes a lot longer. It does blog down on the bigger stuff. This one here was pretty big and i had to switch saws for it, first tree i tried to use the pouland on.

Here are some other photos as well from the storms we been having the past few years, supposedly there was a microburst/ downburst or whatever the technical term for it is, and it took down a lot of trees.

 This tree i believe is a yellow locus, great burning firewood. It burns hot and clean and leave fine ashes, a little bit stringy to split however.

I have enough firewood for the next few years just from this one storm alone lol
