rich Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Nice find/post! :laugh: Rep, fo sho.

as the resident botanist... Har har! (I never used my degree, but I got it) The PI plant can have 3 different habits, so watch out for the "leaves of 3", even if it doesn't look like the last one you saw. PI can be a running vine on the ground, a climbing vine like most sawyers would worry...

work for the victim?!?!? Dear Lord...if only...that's about the only way I could see myself making a true difference... I don't know law or criminology or psychology, but I sure know how to work the stuffin' out of ANYBODY that ain't used to it. Sadly, most would prefer the beating. Rep for...

Honor lies in honest toil I knew we wuz peoples... Now you're back to sounding like a guy I'd buy a beer and console over a missing saw! :cheers: And I agree, in the heat of the moment, ya just wanna kick the ever-livin' piddle out of a thief when you find your window broken or your stuff...

Rope? Man, like I said before, I'm sorry you lost a saw. My commentary is directed toward some of the posts about killing and maiming people over a saw. Just a saw, they make 'em every day. No, I don't want mine stolen either, and ridin' me over into the ultra-liberal camp over it is a bit...

not exactly I don't see it as a location issue, and don't let Gramps kid you...unsupervised children were stealing in the streets of Boston 200 years ago, and they're doing it today. Location is nothing compared to the fine examples kids see every day. Environment more so than location. If...

That was precisely my point...they likely didn't grow up with parents at all hardly. Mothers who are prostitutes, druggies or just welfare ornaments sitting on the couch...fathers who can hardly be identified as the sperm donor, much less as any sort of influence on the child. If they're...

wow I found the 'heifer whizz' idea to be particularly disturbing...but, touchin' on kiddies...okay, I can see that. As I currently work in a well-known, dangerous city, I can vouch that jail/prison doesn't scare a lot of offenders. Imagine you grew up in a hovel in the middle of the...

not for oiling I don't think the soak is for pre-oiling...when I first read that on some directions or in a manual somewhere, I remember thinking, "Huh? My chain's already oily...it's covered in a light machine oil from the factory." Now though, after having used burnt motor oil to wash junk...

impulse line I'm with the Man of Steel on that one. I was gonna say dissassemble and clean the carb and filter extra good to make sure they're not fulla crap like mine were when my 028 exhibited the same behavior, but since you've already done that... Failing that, is a case leak indicated...

bummer That sux, man... I'm probably ripe for the picking, living in a sleepy little town. I've never seen anyone on my property who wasn't' supposed to be there, but I suppose it's luck of the draw nobody's decided to just bust in something and carry out what they want. I'd never find...

I second that JimDad said it right. :clap: :agree2: On this site, favorite saws seem to be the second thing "everyone has one" of! :-) (myself included...of course, my first saw that was alllllll my own, nearly 20 years ago, was a yard sale find...the 268XP that I still have...it has...

well, dang I should probably just bookmark stuff like that MM thread when I see it...alas, a quick search didn't yield what I was looking for. Not sure if there's a specific mod for your specific saw, but the takeaway I got was to compute the cross-sectional area of your exhaust port, and then...

Right on dude! Ya know, I went back and re-read my post, and it's preachy or something...just trying to give an honest and hopefully helpful opinion, but regardless, I'm sorry about getting all fired up about it like some yay-hoo. :angrysoapbox: The main thing is you're doing it, and you have...

not to be a contrarian... ...but the OP didn't ask for the smart move to open a chainsaw resale operation... A $400 firewood saw is easy to come by if you're willing to buy used and be patient (my MS440 was clean as a pin when I bought it for exactly that). You also rarely (I would think) buy...

Gtg? I think it stands for "Git Tew Gather" :D Search GTG on here for well-documented threads with pictures and more than ample and often funny explanation. I wanna find one myself...good weather for it down South.

work smart A limbing saw discussion isn't really meant to be turned into a knot-bumping discussion, IMO. Different cutting entirely. Limbing (to me) means you have the saw above waist level, and with firewood, means you'll be swinging it around up there for a while. The big brushy oaks and...

da bomb indeed So, salt and vinegar chips ARE the bomb...but you haven't lived until you've dipped a Cheetos in a dab of peanut butter...just sayin'... :clap:

261 mystery money Getting a price on that saw has proven more challenging than I anticipated. I have two dealers here, and neither have it yet. Their price books are from January 2010... I'll bet Mr. Snelling can give you the low-down if he hasn't been sworn to secrecy :laugh:

personal preference... I dunno, man...I'm a ratio/numbers guy, if I was given total choice. My saws have almost all been 'accidental' purchases/finds. My chainsaw arsenal doesn't reflect this analytical approach as well as my actual arsenal, but my goal in both isn't home runs as much as...
