WOW, God...never thought I'd get so close. Good to hear from you.

Or Pferd (who I believe actually makes them for Stihl).

As near as I can figure, top plate cutting angle and side plate angle are derivative angles based on file height and top plate angle. Not directly set like height and top plate angle and basically just for info. Correct?

I'd think about making the 3/4" to 1" change at the tank outlet rather than the pump. Run 1" suction line. You'll have less restriction this way.

Splitting some uglies from the wrong side of the splitter. Focused on positioning the piece and activated the push plate with my thumb n the way. Happened quick from there. Pulled off the glove and thought OH CRAP.

When I almost amputated my left thumb last August I ended up at one of these in Pittsburgh. About an hour away. Still got the thumb, not pretty and less functional but still got it.

Care to share the recipe?

Reckon its the reality of a changing world. My dad had a few guns but wasn't deep into them. I inherited the gun gene, my 5 siblings really didn't. Work led me most of the way across the country, none of my family close. Wife is similar...few guns around but not a strong culture. I've...

No kids, wife's son can't own guns, grand kids have no interest. No family interest.

I'm early 70's, eyes acting up. I don't shoot much anymore. I've got a number of firearms and a lot of reloading equipment and supplies. If (when) my time comes the wife would trash a lot of it with no idea of the value. I can't/don't use it much anymore and it's coming time to accept reality...

My turns coming. Having a tough time accepting it's time to begin parting with a lifetime accumulation.

Agree it's a very old thread, but several of us are having the same issues with 025/250 saws.

@SS396driver Currently $110 at Amicks. Free shipping. Regular $115.

@Welderman85 ----Please report back and let us know what you find. Too many of these threads die with no closure.

Logic says the fuel. Also the easiest thing to eliminate. Make sure you dump the tanks, refill with fresh fuel and run long enough to be sure the fresh fuel is running the saws.

M B&S 8 hp is 318.5 cc. I'm not familiar with the predator engines but would think the 301cc would work. Don't know cost difference, 420cc certainly would work.

I still have my first .22 rifle and handgun as well. Rifle is a Sears 25 semi-auto (Hi Standard) that I got for Christmas the year I turned 12. Handgun is a Hi Standard Sentinel 6" I bought a few years later. Both have fired thousands of rounds and still fired occasionally.

I don't know details and haven't had the carb off mine. I do recall comments about the carb gaskets in rebuild kits blocking holes. Make sure yours matches the original. If needed i can try to dig in saved notes.

So, @Sawyer Rob : Just where does one avoid all of these?

BL going away!!!! Sounds too good to be true.
