Seldom right...Always opinionated!
I'm a matco guy because of the service. Didn't harbor freight buy snap on?
I think the rule of thumb is anything works fine till you get into 36” plus. I’d go with the cheaper .050 if I was you.On another note, and maybe I mentioned it before, but what gauge of 28" - 30" bar would use on a Stihl 046? Once I get the saw running (hopefully soon), I want to get a longer bar than what it came with. Both my 038 and 046 came with 20" 0.063 bars. Any reason to go with that gauge? I think a 0.05 gauge are cheaper in bar and chains.
Base gasket, carb boot, or crank seals.In another thread, someone mentioned in passing, they thought their saw had an air leak because the idle speed was creeping up. Where could such a leak be and how do you check and find it?
I've had this happen several times myself. The kids have a playroom in the basement by where I throw wood in. They are normally the ones that alert me to the unwanted flying invaders!One split I brought into the house a couple of years ago had four European wasps stuck to the underside. They woke up and started buzzing around the house, but like they were drunk, they were pretty dopey. But they can still sting and I had to hunt them all down before the Cowcat MkII tried to eat them (and regret it). My pest controller client told me once that those ones are potential queens so it's good to get rid of them.
My opinion is .050 is fine, like others said I’d just use whatever you have access to and is a good price. Really don’t think you’ll notice any difference. I use .050 for everything just to keep it same and it’s what’s available here.Thanks all. I do plan to do a little milling with the 046 and a 28" bar. Just a cut or two. Sounds like the wider 0.063 groove transfers oil better (which I'm guessing is better for milling), but a bar size I'm looking at (28"-30"), a 0.050" bar should be fine??
As far as the increased idle speed (on my 038), I've never messed with the carb settings since the new carb was put on years ago by a shop. But for some reason, the chain still spins when the engine goes into idle. I push on the brake as soon as I'm done with the cut.
No markers. He was in Fla. Usually does it with a walk behind blower and you can see as soon as you miss the little curve. I was playing with the loader. 4' bucket, 2 passes going down, finished. If "I" stay on the black top. Second pass down and I saw sod coming over the bucket, OOPS, the tractor never noticed the difference till it was too late.Limit marker posts?
Don't the drop bears just eat them? The tarantulas?One split I brought into the house a couple of years ago had four European wasps stuck to the underside.
Well, it does say 'Tundra' on that thing; can't you just put on grass tracks?Unlike Nate and his never ending surplus of fresh powder, just a few hundred miles northwest of him we have this:
They are off 15.I might know where you're headed. Is it in Davison?
The 543 is made in Japan .Beat me to it Joe. Or they're making Hooskies in Japan now.
I currently only have three .So, that's why you have all of those Echo's?
Definitely address the idle issue, that is an accident waiting to happen.Thanks all. I do plan to do a little milling with the 046 and a 28" bar. Just a cut or two.

Your Tundra is about as close to a ATV as sleds come Great machine.Unlike Nate and his never ending surplus of fresh powder, just a few hundred miles northwest of him we have this:

As much as my sled likes to think it's an ATV, I had to get creative and come up with a better form of transport:

Yeah, the Tundra will go a lot of places most sleds wouldn't like too much. HahaYour Tundra is about as close to a ATV as sleds come Great machine.
Guessing the Honda is a 450? If so, that ought to get place's in a big hurry! Now put on a track kit and a ski up front!
