New to the site . . . . .

[Coot]

dont know if this is the place to make introductions but hey i am a newbie to the site and what can i say.

but enough of that jazz and down to the good stuff.

the other night i got my first real chainsaw ( sorry if i offend anyone) a sthil 08s , from what i belive is 1963 , i saw a pic on sthil website and the two saws look identicale, i acquired the saw from a friend i had split and staked wood for , for about threes years.

the saw seems to be in good working order , it has a 24 inch bar , if your measure from the last bolt on the saw of the bar , i really dont know what the ccs are but i do belive it is possible either 36 or 44 cc , maybe you guys could tell me what the cc's are if you have happened to run a sthil 08s.

and i think that is all for now , hopefully i will be hear for some more information as i do take up the art of being a woodsman.

Welcome to the forum, Coot.

One place is as good as another for an introduction.  Are you interested in milling or felling and bucking logs?

[Coot]

Felling and Bucking

Welcome to the forum Coot.
Your 08 is 56cc.
Where in Ontario are you at?

Coot, welcome aboard.

Kevin, not that I would presume to doubt your encyclopedic specs, but I thought I saw an 08s listed at more more like 65 cc (and aren't they about 16 lbs)?

[Kevin]

Depending on the model.
There are two heads, one is 47mm and the other is 49mm.
