    hacks for starting saws--getting older!

    You should meet my Ms 250. Annoyingly stubborn starter fails to address it.

    Why won't it split?

    While my neighbor would have no clue what the insert is, in fairness I'd have to say it wasn't easy to check on his splitter. I had to crawl under it to verify my guess on the issue.

    Why won't it split?

    Neighbor (NOT mechanically inclined) called and said his splitter just stopped part way out. Claimed no warning, just stopped and won't move either way, Wandered down and took about a minute to figure out. See photo:

    3/16 vs 5/32 file

    As near as I can figure, top plate cutting angle and side plate angle are derivative angles based on file height and top plate angle. Not directly set like height and top plate angle and basically just for info. Correct?

    pump up grade from 11 gpm to 16 gpm

    I'd think about making the 3/4" to 1" change at the tank outlet rather than the pump. Run 1" suction line. You'll have less restriction this way.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Splitting some uglies from the wrong side of the splitter. Focused on positioning the piece and activated the push plate with my thumb n the way. Happened quick from there. Pulled off the glove and thought OH CRAP.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    When I almost amputated my left thumb last August I ended up at one of these in Pittsburgh. About an hour away. Still got the thumb, not pretty and less functional but still got it.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Reckon its the reality of a changing world. My dad had a few guns but wasn't deep into them. I inherited the gun gene, my 5 siblings really didn't. Work led me most of the way across the country, none of my family close. Wife is similar...few guns around but not a strong culture. I've...

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    No kids, wife's son can't own guns, grand kids have no interest. No family interest.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    I'm early 70's, eyes acting up. I don't shoot much anymore. I've got a number of firearms and a lot of reloading equipment and supplies. If (when) my time comes the wife would trash a lot of it with no idea of the value. I can't/don't use it much anymore and it's coming time to accept reality...

    My turns coming. Having a tough time accepting it's time to begin parting with a lifetime accumulation.

    Bad gas? Weird running issues.

    @Welderman85 ----Please report back and let us know what you find. Too many of these threads die with no closure.

    Bad gas? Weird running issues.

    Logic says the fuel. Also the easiest thing to eliminate. Make sure you dump the tanks, refill with fresh fuel and run long enough to be sure the fresh fuel is running the saws.

    Splitter engine sizing

    M B&S 8 hp is 318.5 cc. I'm not familiar with the predator engines but would think the 301cc would work. Don't know cost difference, 420cc certainly would work.
