For the $300 this cost me it’s awesome.

Bought a 660 clone for $300 with bar and chain off of eBay. Fired up on the 4th pull. For a 2 times a year I’ll actually need a saw this size it’s a good bang for the buck. I’m a die hard Stihl fan but can’t justify spending the money on a real 660.

New in original box Homelite 330 chainsaw.

I received this vintage maybe early '80s Homelite 330 from an older relative. It is complete with the powerhead, bar, chain and owner's manual. The box isn't the greatest but it kept it in new shape. Can anyone tell me any basic information on these and what type of chainsaw they were? Also, what would be the first thing to do to assemble and get it running? My regular saw as a Husqvarna 353, that I'm used to.

Chainsaw

wondering if the dewalt chainsaw are any good.
just be used for general propert work like cutting small bushes and branches around field gayes and small whinny trees around 1-4 inches thick
have a petrol chainsaw for larger trees just wanted something handy for light work
if so which is the best to go for to 30cm bar or a larger flexvolt one
i have 4 6ah flexvolt batter and some 18v batteries

I know it’s not the end of the world if this saw doesn’t fit back here but does anyone know of any solutions or slim grab bars that might fit it would have to be like a half inch smaller to fit and it would be awesome

261CM Starts then shuts down

Looking for mechanic advice, my repair guy says he won’t touch the newer electronic carbs.

Saw turns over and purrs for a second after start procedure, then dies. Observed what appears to aeration of fuel from the fuel filter after attempting and popping the fuel cap. Makes me think it’s a fuel delivery issue, but I generally just run the saws, not fix them. Anyone had anything similar? Saw is 3 years old, fresh spark plug a couple of weeks ago, proper fuel, clean air filter. Was running fine then stopped at the end of the work day.
