Hel's yeah... that's where all this mudd came from, even the road is getting all squishy, at least with Ice I can stay mostly dry, and get logs moved. as it sits now either it freezes up or I punt and bring in more rock. Can't even get light trucks through the poor guys driveway, without it going to hel.

Just to show that I have no prejudice toward lesser wrap handles, here's a pic of my 1/4 wrap.

Just curious, how much gas do you have in the tank on one of those bike saws for competition?

Never measured. Probably a pint. Just enough to warm up, and make your cuts. I warmed it up a little extra once and ran out of gas on the last cut.

Originally it was an 86 KX250. My son in law, who used to be on here a lot (romeo), built the whole thing for me. He used a pipe off a bike, but did a lot of "adjusting" on lengths.
I didn't compete at any shows this last season, so I'll have to dig up some old stuff. She's due for a new piston & rings before the next season rolls around.

Tuning changes by the minute sometimes. Our competitions are anywhere from 5000' elevation, to 9000' elevation, I've got a big aspirin bottle full of main jets.
Yeah, I want to see one man run one of those Buick's without a helper. Or make an up cut with it.
takes two men yeah, but one of the outfits will usually try to make an upcut, (I think they are running a buick v-6)
