    Think pulling flywheel is next step

    After work this morning went out and spun flywheel backward felt a little resistance then spun freely. Can spin it forward now with a finger piston moving freely. Probably put it back together and give it a try

    Think pulling flywheel is next step

    Couldn't get the starter rope to pull on my Stihl 036. Pulled the plug and muffler. Plug and piston look really good from what I can see piston moves when I push on it with my finger. Removed recoil starter. That does what it's supposed to when off saw. I can turn the flywheel easily in reverse...

    Best quality oil for fuel mix?

    The ratings are actual testing, which is good, but not free, which keeps some of the smaller manufacturers away who may be making a good product.

    Best quality oil for fuel mix?

    Got some bacon from a local small sausage place for Christmas. Almost $6 a pound and worth every penny. The super premium synthetic of bacon! No ethanol gas and 40:1 with a good synthetic, whatever I find locally. Pull the muffler and the piston looks nice and has a slippery coating. Works for me

    390 loses battle with log pile

    :laugh:Watcha gonna do with that bar? I think you could put that in the vise and pull on it a little and it will be good as new. Ah, poop happens...

    Top reasons not buy a 290 farmboss

    Oh and I buy used saws for the same reason I buy used trucks. I can get something way nicer for the same amount of money, let somebody else eat the first few years of depreciation. All machines need periodic maintenance, new or used

    Top reasons not buy a 290 farmboss

    HK45 for sure. Makes sense to have a U.S. factory they are often competitive for U.S. military contracts and private firearms ownership has a lot of restrictions in Europe. German company with U.S. manufacturing seems pretty consistent with his signature, but I get your question. I find their...

    :bowdown:J.M. Browning had it figured out prior to 1911. Get a .45 and a nice 372XP. We only go around once.

    Burns better than snowballs!

    I really miss when Forest Service used to actually allow logging on our National Forests. Those big chunks of young aspen coming up are premium deer and grouse food. Hunting was much, much better 20 years ago here

    Burns better than snowballs!

    used to be a spring tradition in this area. "Cuttin' and peelin' pulp" in the spring. Very little money in popple (yes I know its really aspen) now, bought by the ton, and try to get a trucker to pick it up before it dries out and gets much lighter. I'm barely old enough to remember using a spud...

    Damn‼ A bit nippy today.

    Something a former professor recommended was to put "ice skating on the Thames" into a search engine. There was a lot of art coinciding with the coldest periods in the little ice age showing winter festivals and ice skating. One of the ways to see how the cold was recorded before accurate...

    Damn‼ A bit nippy today.

    Unrelated to radios, but a contractor friend was good enough to bring over his roof jacks and help me remove an old chimney from my steeply pitched roof. He grabbed one of the concrete blocks and said "start counting out loud, one thousand one, one thousand two..." I started counting, he threw...

    This 066 Grenaded........What The Hell Happened???????

    I have plugged this into many possible scenarios and you are 100% correct. To paraphrase Dean Wormer from Animal House "Black, dry, and crusty is no way to go through life son." Off to the store for more 2 stroke oil

    When do you noodle?

    Yep, often take a 5 gallon bucket with me and gather that stuff up

    When do you noodle?

    Noodle once or two rounds a season. Up north the wood isn't as big, and most days I think I'm still 18 and can still deadlift 500+ pounds. Of course this is in my head and gets me into trouble sometimes

    Do you cut wood right behind your house? I'm jealous!

    I had a visitor giving me a little bit of a hard time at my home after pointing out some basswood on my woodpile. "Doesn't that burn fast? I wouldn't work very hard to get that wood..." "I didn't. It fell over in my back yard right there." Nice when one tips over wheelbarrow distance from the...

    OWB overheated

    Sounds like you checked what I would have checked. I really had to scrape my door edge hard and wire brush it once after burning some junk wood to get the door to close nice and tight and its been good since. Also find it is more efficient with mild temperatures to only put enough wood in as...
