They sell candles smelling like two strokes. 

You would love East Germany, it was choke full of two stroke cars and motocycles.  MZs, Wartbugs and Trabants.

My wife is the candle queen, I should buy one of these and surprise her!  [she hates the smell of exhaust, fuel or oil]

Have always wanted to go to Germany, especially during October to drink beer!

that stihl 026 i found a little while ago has a spur sprocket/clutch drum on it,its .325 pitch,itll be the factory one and looks a bit worn,i prefer the wobble rim types anyway so bought a non genuine kit from a reputable seller ive bought a ton of chainsaw stuff from over the years,it got here promptly and once set up it didnt spin right by hand,it bound up straight away.(i always spin new chains etc before the cover goes back on!).seems to be incorrect pitch but is marked/stamped correctly,its a 7 tooth,i have a spare 8 tooth for another saw to compare with,some things not right with the one supplied,i contacted the seller by phone,explained i had photos to show but were happy to send me another rim sprocket,i said check it on some chain first make sure itll fully wrap without riding up n over!

Dave,was the original sprocket/clutch drum off the saw the 4th picture which you posted?
I see the top pic with the numbers '325-7' on it.,then both the 3rd & 5th pictures of the '325-8'.. is the '325-8' sprocket/clutch drum the best fit ??

 the 7 should wrap around it Bill like the 8,its only a tooth difference,its either wrong pitch but stamped correct or just a #$%*ed up thing?lotta guys may have just installed and run it causing some sort of damage?i always spin by hand chains etc before i button down,yeah the fourth picture is the old spur sprocket.

I got Husqvarna battery powered saw few weeks back.  $200+ shipped including battery and a charger. 

I used it to clean up some fallen down dead trees, trim branches and open up shooting lanes in the hunting club.  When cutting bushes it tends to throw chain but if you pay attention it can be avoided. 
I guess the plastic body flexes too much. 

I like that I dont have to wear ear muffs running it and it's light and easy to operate.   For bigger jobs I have Husky 455 with 20" and 16" blade.
