Am I going to have to keep this going my self? Slackers. :msp_sneaky:

Just about ready to see how far I can throw 2 Stihls ! 2 steps forward 5 steps back today !
Fired up the 170,started easy. Put a B&C on to tune it,no power at all ? Haven't checked compression yet,don't think I need to. I put used rings in it,gap wasn't bad. So I put another motor together with new rings,forgot I even had them ! :bang: Same rings as the 192 takes.

Then I fired up the 290,took right off,but making one hell of a noise on the flywheel side ! Then I membered a 029 jug I got from Ron. It had spun a bearing on that side ! Sure as **** that is the one I used ! :bang::bang: Pulled it out of my jug box,didn't even think about that spun bearing jug was in there,and not marked ! :bang: Least the saw feels like it has plenty of power ! I have more 029 jugs I think? Know I have a good 310 jug,but need rings for it. Plus I have the new 390 P&C I could use.

So I get to tear them all back down again ! :bang:

Now this make 3 saws in a row I had to build twice ! Maybe I should go mow grass ?

Not touching the 5000 Plus just yet ! :msp_scared:

The Slug is down right whooped ! Break time !!!!

Am I going to have to keep this going my self? Slackers. :msp_sneaky:

Wish I could stop in and help but my world has gotten crazy since spring got here. Wide open at work and driving about 250 miles a day in the truck. No time to even jump on here with the smart azz phone!


On a wierd note, I sold a 268 last night that the guy knew nothing of chainsaws. I asked him what he wanted it for and he explained he needed GOOD Pro grade saws and equipment going to Gambia. Apparently he is on a mission to buy tools to help with construction in his village. I'm glad that saw will be appreciated as it was in tip top shape.

Just tested the grinder, i love it. Removes metal really fast, and even with a 50 grit belt has a smooth finish. Already sharpened 2 axes, all my punches and cold chisles, and recrowned my main blacksmih hammer. It is going to easily be my most used tool. This weekend I will be getting a good selection of belts fro. lee valkey, and testing it out on a knife.

I am ordering some kaowool for a small gas forge, heated wih a gasoline blow torch. That will sure beat the cutting torch for forging and heat treat.
