    Advice, for ISA tests..

    LMAO on the checkbook comment. If that was true, I would be truly screwed, as my daughter and son have more cash flow than I do!!:dizzy: I think the trees on the test to answer the other question are from your region. But, I'm not sure. When I take it in 12' if I don't do well, you'll have...

    husqvarna 394XP help

    check your idle Hello, A friend of mine actually has a 394xp in an alaskan mill. Before you go to rebuild the carb, check your idle speed. Sometimes it is just that simple of a fix. Maybe not here but look into it. If you don't have one, get a tach, or borrow one. If your idle speed is...
