Use some castor and it'll smell good too!

After Randy got through with it, this isn't a consumer saw that'll run damn near any time or temperature you live in. Like any high-performance machine that isn't computer controlled, it has to be tuned. I would not have been able to do this simple thing if I hadn't joined this group 12 years...

Wife has salmon strips semi-dried and ready to go into the smokehouse. We needed some alder for smoking. We tool up to the old Dew Line site and I get out the 262. Gassed, oiled, tried to start; it never occurred to me that the last time I ran the saw it was about +15* F. Yesterday was 72* F...

Have one built up for you; it'll be a hell of a lotta fun. If you don't want to pull the trigger on a 395, buy a used 394 off eBay and cut some with it. They'll make a believer of you.

Excellent explanation of tune, and yes, your saw sounded really good.

Still looking....

Diesel pistons are even more interesting.

I buy a 55-gallon drum of AVgas and use it up over the course of a year.

I want to buy a Homelite circular saw. Does not have to be a museum piece, but must be in good condition. I am willing to pay a premium if you have one with all the accessories. I would say a carrying case is a must, but if nice enough not necessary. Don't worry, I am not a tire kicker or a...

And then you lighten the piston.

Nothing wrong with it at all. This is the best way as far as I am concerned.

Okay, this is what you do. 1. Muffler mod, helps the motor run cooler. 2. Take the cover off the saw, if possible remove the jug so it'll be clean, but you'll want to use flat black paint to spray the jug so it'll radiate heat faster. Even better would be to have it anodized. That'd the...

Hey man thanks for that heads up! I bought two to have a spare. Kewl.

Seriously: Stihl 4314 124 2800 I cannot find this part anywhere. I imagine they are minimal cost, but I could use a couple for my drill. Also a handle assembly for the front handle. Thanks.

Do NOT use anything flammable. Soaking in a coffee can outside the garage in a shaded area with a lid on is fine, but not in the cleaner.

For a completely modded 3120 this is a good price. I have one and it is a monster.

I like where your heads at! I have a 2002 Polaris 800 RMK, still on the 3rd tank after a complete rebuild. I mix 50:50 avgas to our crappy unleaded, have the oiler turned up just a tad, and still pour in a good dollop of VES to make sure the break in is gentle. She does smoke some, but once...

Even if it is glued in, just be careful digging it out and all is well.

Truth. At least make the suckhole work for it.

Looks like I am paying what our European and Canadian saw brothers are paying for gas and oil. Now I don't feel so bad.
