I saved this one with a new fuel line, fuel filter, bar and chain. Carb was still good to go. Starts and runs fine today.
Wow!!! It has been a long time since I have seen you post. Maybe I just have not seen them. Nice to see you again and I see your avatar has not changed.
I have a couple of them, one with points and one electronic ignition. Nice power for a little saw. Your's looks like a later model with electronic ignition.
Well I will say this with 100% respect you were one of the many members taht made this site what is was. Back then it was about folks helping folks with yes some razzing but mostly all true respect. I asked a question years ago about the tree industry and you came back with a well thought out, respectful, and on topic reply that I still remember today.
The TH is alive, but sadly, Butch Ballowe died a few years ago.. maybe about three... cancer it was. The way he was treated here was sad.
We had a blast... gypologger.. the Rupley brothers, Dennis Greffard... and so many more. I dunno if my images from the 2002 and 2003 Clearwater Revivals are still up... Pics aren't on my flickr, but 88 images from the 2008 Deming Log Show are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbtree/albums/72157605624133618 Don't forget the high tech redneck Doug Babcock, Rotax Robert.... Tommy Fales...and so many more. The time Robert fired up the Predator in that bar/restaurant in Clearwawa was freakin' awesome!!
The Rupley brothers have some pretty nice saws, I got to hang out with them at a mutual friend's place as part of a mini gtg. Fast saws, nice guys, good food, but sadly no ear muffs. One of the pipe saws damn near made my ears bleed!
You daymum right it was a blast ole gypologger ( John) is who got me to the site. The pics of him butt naked running a saw were out there. So where his pics of "saw wench" I converse with Mike Rupley quite often. As you know Dennis Greffard had a rough thread on here for whatever reasons that are none of my business. Dbabcock is a name I remember now that you mention him. Of course ole Rotax Robert was a great poster. I rember Tommy Fales but did not deal with him. I still remember the night my phone rang and when I picked it up the voice said ..."Hey Bill this is Art Martin, how ya doing". There were so many great characters back then. Django was a top notch fabricator. Dan Henry built a mean Husky 346. Sedaman was a great guy. Og course we cannot forget Dennis Cahoon. The list is very long. I am not complaining about the site now but there was a ton of great, honest, real life experiences shared back then that has sadly now given way to well.....I better not say.
