I'm getting a large Dogwood tree cut down in my yard. There's not a straight branch, or trunk on the thing. Is it worth trying to cut into firewood size, and split it? How easy does Dogwood split? It's going to be knotty as heck.. The main trunk is only about 3ft high before it starts to split.

Too Funny.... Your story made the "Tonight Show"... WAY to go KY state....

Ok.. I'm going to take the carb out this week end had have a look. Should I go ahead and order a new diaphragm and gaskets kit to have on head in case I destroy one when I disassemble the carb? How easy is it to get apart with-out damaging anything? Dave

I just use the cheep tarps like you said, I fold the in 1/2 or 3rds and just tarp the very top of the wood pile, to keep the snow & rain off with little over hang so the wind don't blow it off. I just hold it down with a few splits. Works for me anyway's. One day I will build a small roof...

Ok.. got back in town this week and took a look at the saw today. I tried all kinds of settings on the carb. H all the way in, H all the way out, H in the middle, same with the L screw. I took off the plug to dry out the cylinder in-between changes. I even put in a new plug. I'm pretty much...

Good point about the handel, and yes.. a cover (or some kind of protector) for the bit is a must in my eye's. I probably just store it in a old dremel bit tube when not in use. I'll be keeping this tool in my chain saw tool box (a old ammo box) and I'm concerned the bit will get chipped bouncing...

no..the carbide burr's or sold separately. So it will be 99.00 for the tool with guides, and 19.50 for a bit. (but they do have a free shipping promo going on right now.) Through the timberline web sight you get the tool with guides, and the bit for 129.00 -30.00 with the promo code. (but you...

Thanks for the info guy's. I'll look into all your suggestions. However it will have to wait, I'm going out of town for a few weeks, so when I get back, I'll look into it. Dont think the hotel maid will like me working on a saw in the room?:blob2: Anyone in Waterloo, IA good at fixing saw's...

Thanks for the help.. Here's what the plug looked like the last time I ran it.

Good points... I did tune it with a tach in early spring and set it to 12,500 RPM to it would be a tad rich. I have ran it a few time's but like I said it would die after it got hot. As to check for bad coil.. I can't start it so I can't check for that yet.. I may play with the carb and see...

OK.. Like it says, my 5100s wont crank over. I've been having some problems with it shutting off when it gets hot, but it will fire back up after several minutes. Now I cant get it to crank over at all, not even a burp. Tried different plugs, Comp at 150psi, getting gas, good spark...

Yep.... All over a little red triangle....

Oh… I see you’re from the KY state. I have a lot of KY jokes, just can’t post them here, but they all have to do with kissing cousin’s, taking your sister to the prom, and teaching your daughter’s how to French kiss. :msp_biggrin:

Will work for beer :censored:

Looking at Fish's pic's he also got a wrench, but it came packaged with his extra carbide guides. Was your wrench with the extra cutter you ordered? I didn't order anything extra,( I should have) just the tool with 30* guides, and one cutter 7/32.

Got mine today.. Took about 4 days to ship to SW Indiana. Kinda of a pain getting the handle w/bit installed back into the small front pocket, very tight fit, may just have to remove the bit when not in uses. Also would have also liked to have seen some allen wrench's with the package to keep in...

HE HE.. old thread.. But some cool saw's. I used a Hyd saw when I worked as a underground coal miner to cut timbers for roof support. They worked very well I thought.

Pulled the trigger, just ordered one, I'll give it a try.

It takes me about 2 full tanks of gas (1.5 liters, .396 gal) to split around a 1/2 cord of wood. Took about 2hr with a few beer breaks for some stringy, and knotty hickory wood. I have a Swisher 22 ton with a 8.75 briggs.
