Here are 2 pics of my 048. I had the same issue and rewired it.

When my splitter was acting up, I dumped a 1/4 bottle of seafoam in the tank and got it running to get the mix thru the carb. Shut it down and let it sit for a day. Started it up the next day and it ran great. Since then, when I am done for the season I run it out of gas. Will be getting it out...

Very nice work!

Same here.

Very nice work.

Nice looking wood. That temp chart is interesting. I would have guessed it would rise faster. How long do you idle the saw to get to 140 for shutdown?

Yep, a few hours here and there and BAM!!! Done. Nice pile of wood.

Thanks for the tips so far. I want to get the valve as close to the bar as possible to keep the mess down. My thinking is I won't have a tube full of oil dripping after I close the valve. Having a cable or linkage to a lever on the valve is also in my plans. Looking at several hardware...

Nice looking wood.

We used to keep the house pretty cold, 62-66deg F, and it was just barely comfortable, when heating primarily with LP. Now that we have the house better insulated and heating with wood as much as we can 73 feels about right anywhere near the stove room. I think I am getting spoiled... And I...

GDamit I was just going to say look out for elvis or the big J. Toooooo slow. :msp_mellow:

BobL, Yep the 660 is maxed out, double checked the screw. How do you check the oil line for flow? I have used Stihl oil and now an alternative that the dealer recommended. Both seem really tacky and hard to pour when cold. LOL be nice to Mom. I love this "place".

820, Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot. So I can just drip it into the sprocket on the cutting side? Will this wick to the bottom of the bar?

I think its time to look into putting an auxiliary oiler on my alaskan mill. The bars are showing noticeable wear. I have the oiler on the 660 turned up all the way and only use 1/2-2/3rds of a tank of oil to a tank of fuel. I assume that is normal? Is there a FAQ somewhere for...

Not sure yet. Just getting it sawed and stacked in the shed to dry. That should give me a year or so to think of something.

Howdy neighbor. I hear ya. I don't have a wood shop or many shop tools at the moment. I am planning on building a workshop in the near future and will have to make room for some woodworking tools if my brother doesn't find a use for the wood first.:msp_tongue:

http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/188322.htm How about a nice 090G Stihl for $10. This is a benefit raffle for a member who lost his shop to fire. I bet that is a milling monster:outtahere2:
