    McBob's new Alky Burning Stihl 090

    I'd keep it open.It would appear that end result of this thread is that McBob is unable to improve on Chinese engineering.That proves either the Chinese knock offs are far more technologically advanced that originally suspected,or..............you fill in the blank.:smile2:

    New levelof chainsaw induced pain!!!!

    I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics. Finally I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women...

    346XP Kickstand

    I have to admit,I don't really get it.The saw doesn't care if it lays on it side or not.If it handles and limbs well,how it sits doesn't matter. Maybe if some are concerned it may flop on it's side,they should just pick it back up and keep working,rather than trying to make it sit still for a...

    Are Stihl saws as good as they were?

    Nothing is as good as it used to be.I always shook my head at the old guys for saying that but I'm beginning to see the wisdom in it. The only exception to this is the Jonsereds...and the Huskies.Everything else? Nah. ;)

    Is nothing sacred?

    Wow, a Wild Ching. Can't get no better than that.It would be interesting for someone to thrash one and take it apart.

    I hope no member here is bidding on this one!!!

    Chinese quality is improving by leaps and bounds these days.Certain brands of quads,bikes come to mind. I wonder how long before one of them makes a good saw?I wouldn't bet against it.

    Painting Your Plastics...

    Currently a Yamaha Exciter SX just because they only made them one year and I always wanted one. Previous was a pre diamond drive ZR900 with a Black Magic engine and bolt on goodies.That was an interesting machine:msp_scared:

    Painting Your Plastics...

    You can use something like a Krylon plastic paint or if you have access to a booth,regular auto paint but you'll have to add a flex agent otherwise it will crack.(Clean it properly first and either will give good results.) The same setup they use to paint auto fascias.

    I hope no member here is bidding on this one!!!

    Chinese it may be but I wonder what it would do if one made an "alky burner" out of it.Stay tuned....:rock::msp_wink:

    What's XP stand for?

    It's short for " Supercalifragilistic XP alidocious" It means it don't get no better than that-even Mary Poppins knew it-and rumor was,she used a wood boss-whatever that means.:)
