Mike, what are you saying "It was a awsome saw always ran milked with it." ?

Sorry typo. Milled with the Poulan

When a homeowner dumps straight fuel into the fuel tank, and then adds a splash of oil instead of mixing it properly.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

When you fill up the fuel or oil and forgot to put the cap back on.

Guilty. Had to use dawn dish soap in the wash machine before the oil stain came out

Had 2 chains come in this week for sharoening like that. I had to stop while grinding and scratch my head, for a second I thought I somehow goofed!

When someone says they know how to use a chain grinder then sharpen the cutters the same direction. Saw that on a few saws that we hadn't used in a while, cutters on the left were basically gone on three saw chains so into the recycling bin those went.

I gave up years ago on getting anything I wear clean. The washing machine just makes my clothes less dirty!

I have a couple of pairs of cammies that I use when I am going to get dirty. $3 a piece at a yard sale.

On this same vein, I just bought a new Stihl MSA120 cordless and yay no more stink or gas. Tried it out the other day. Pretty cool. You still get covered with wood though

People who who like to warm up a cold saw by holding it wfo
People that hold it wfo forever checking rpm.
A saw that isn't tuned and never will be.
A worn out bar and sprocket

Having to drive to a dealer, to gain access to a Stihl parts manual.

Got one more, surprised it hasn't been mentioned:

Brands that have a great "warranty" but then don't stand behind thier product. Is it ECHOing in here?

I get dirty 7 days a week. I'm going really good if I'm still somewhat clean by lunch.

People who file a chain and never hit the rakers. Wonder why it ain't cutting.

Now that I'm retired and especially after a severe surgery 20 months ago I often find myself saying " I don't feel like getting dirty today, I will ??????? tomorrow". ?????? being cut the grass, pick up sticks, make sticks fall from trees [ sawing in other words, power or hand/pole ]. Then there are other days when I get hot and sweaty and shower before lunch and then get hot and sweaty again after my nap and do shower #2. Those are the better days actually

I hate it when coworkers leave gas in a saw and say I left it in the saw just in case we need the saw. The gas pump, cans, and oil are literally 30 ft from the shed and now the saw carbs are f..... up because their to f...... Lazy to do that little bit of effort.

When a piece of your expensive Stihl O P E doesn't start as easily as it should.

I used my FS-250R today. Damn thing took more than 30 pulls on the rope to get it to fire. Once it was warm, it started okay. I came very close to swearing at it...........

 

[nitehawk55]

A person convince that they must have their stock saw ported for it to be a good saw .

 

[2broke2ride]

People not flipping or maintaining bars at all.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Throttle blippers!!

Watching someone smoke while refueling their saw...
