The root wad looks so small for such a large tree, and no big roots. Is that normal for sequoia, or maybe too much soil compaction from the tourists perhaps?

Good question. Supposedly, failure from wind events if the main cause of death for that species.

And just reroute that trail (or whatever that is that it fell across).

Well it is a chainsaw thread.... :P
Somebody around me is selling an older stihl 090 for $800. Claimed that it’s running great, but that it hasn’t been used since 2001. It was used as a ripping saw at that time. If somebody is interested, ping me and I can give contact info.

Too funny. Chainsaw rips meat and shatters bone into shards leaving a kerf almost twice the width of the bar. Reciprocating saw is a much better tool for coarse butchery. Experience with both used on large animal backbones. With a chainsaw, the wire mesh face shield is no bueno. Rubberized rain gear and full face shield required.

If anyone is looking for a spare bar and chains, especially for firewood cutting - I'm looking to clean some stuff out of the shop.
20" Stihl bar - used, but not abused. Maintained w/ lots of life left. 3/8" pitch, 0.05" gauge, 72 drive links. Scabbard included.
All four chains listed below are correct fit for this bar and require a round file for sharpening:
2 - Stihl Rapid Super (RS) - this is their full chisel chain. Cuts great, but not as fast as square ground. (1 chain NIB, 1 chain w/ 95% tooth remaining)
1 - Stihl Rapid Super Full (RSF) - this is their full chisel, full skip chain. Cuts pine really well, and most softwoods well. (NIB)
1 - Stihl Rapid Micro 3 (RM3) - this is their "low kickback" semi-chisel (85% tooth remaining)
$33 + cost of shipping? Less? Can send pics via email if anyone is interested.

Just brought back my stepdads husky 50, it’s been hanging chain down for maybe 5 years unused. Put mix in but I can’t get it to turn over. Have spark and when I took the air filter off it’s putting off smoke as you try to turn it over so I think it has compression, it’s old, and dirty, so maybe this is a project where I need to strip it down completely and rebuild the whole thing.

I have a Husky Rancher 61, great saw. I bought it used 20 years ago, currently not running because the fuel line split and it's sucking air not fuel. Easy fix, I just have get to it.
Buy a carb kit for it and clean/rebuild your carb, it's easy and fun for the whole family. I did mine 6-7 years ago.
If it's been sitting it might even be as simple a a stuck float.

Thanks all. Thing is filthy so I may pull all the plastics and actually dive into a full strip/rebuild for fun, unfortunately the stepfather is on his deathbed so may be a nice project to bring it back to life looking brand new

That carb is probably gummed up from sitting that long. See if she'll fire on some starting fluid or raw gas sprayed right in the carb.

If she fires with direct application of go juice like ymjc suggests - Take a look at your fuel lines. They can gum up and or split over time.
