My First Cold Start

[Gypo Logger]

Well boys, you better look out, cause I got the cold start down to at least 2 seconds lol.
Chris, you were right, that handle I got from you is the cat's a$$.

Hello John,
You are going to need to practice that a little but it looks good for the first try

You'd be a lot faster if it weren't for that LIMP right wrist.

I think I need a bit of practice along with a few wrist exercises as well. The cut timed a bit slow because I had a chain on the 346 that was built for a 5-6 cube saw.
Ed said, it really isn't necessary to embarass myself on line and to come up this week to his place and he'll show me how it's done.
Anyway, I built a chain last night and I think I found the "sweet" spot, so will try it today. It only took me 45 minutes, so I have Walt Galer beat I believe.

I seem to remember some other clip off you and a stihl at some contest. If I am not wrong I beleve you were hangover too.

Gypo,
I like you but we need to talk...... it those pants I just don't like seeing them. I think they would look better with a nice pair of chaps over them.
When you start to learn to cold start the bigger saws, YOU will forget a decopression valve needs to be pushed. And the result is saw to the left shin and ouch. When I was first showing stihltech he didn't lock his arm (left) and he smacked his shin good. Now he starts it on the ground.... with a locked arm.
And yes some guys do start em in the air.... not recomended for the beginner.

And of course!
