My dad bought the one on the top about 40 years ago. He gave it to me and I cleaned it up, painted it gold and rehung it. It's an 8lbs "K Head" made in Japan. It does OK but the G-B I got a couple of years ago smokes it.

I don't understand your question. Do you need the measurements of one that I have pictured?

Just showing some love for my Gränsfors-Bruks tools. I got the Large Splitting Maul a little over a year ago. I've only split about a cord with it but it does way better than the splitter I had. My old one was an 8lbs one that my dad gave me. It was made in Japan but no other info on the head...

Good luck! I'm grateful that my wife knows that I don't lend out ANYTHING, regardless who it is. And she respects that.

It being drilled off center isn't gonna affect the balance because the wrist pin isn't spinning. But I still wouldn't use it. Or the rest of the kit.

I have a 290 thats 11 years old. It's had avgas since day one and still has the original fuel lines and all. It sits a lot and doesn't get used on a normal basis. I use it because of the storage life and a side benefit is no ethanol. I know of several saws much newer than mine and they've had...

I read that Av gas had .5g of lead per liter. I asked a friend of mine, who is the chair of our chemistry dept, about the exhaust fumes. He said that the CO had immediate effects because it competes with oxygen for the hemoglobin in your blood. The Pb has chronic effects because it was a...

W20MP-U is what I use.

I had a e3 in a Bolens trimmer that I hopped up. I ran that plug for two years and beat the devil out of it and never had any trouble out of the trimmer or the plug. Saying that, I use Denso plugs in everything. To me, the quality is a step above NGK. And NGK is a great plug. I order all of mine...

The food that we put in our mouth is WAY more prone to causing health issues than fumes from a saw burning 100LL. ETA: The whole "high octane has to have high compression" debate; Have you ever looked at the compression on most piston aircraft?

Yeah, jetA is "premium diesel". I ran about 50 gallons through my diesel truck with no problems. I used to run C12 in all of my 2strokes, but I settled on 100LL. The 100LL has better storage life is the reason I made the switch.

I used a flat screwdriver on the louvers. You can open them up a bit to help with the exhaust output. Then tune the H screw to compensate.

I use av gas and quit worrying about it. It's in my generator, saw, weed eater and leaf blower. All of them ignite within 4 pulls. Av gas is easy for me to get, though.

Briggs and Stratton did this with the "cool bore". Aluminum bore and a chrome plated piston.

I have had a Justrite for several years and love it. It has a throttle and a flexible spout and works great. The best part is that it's made out of metal. They are expensive, but worth it.

Spraying gas is not normal. And yes, there will be pressure in the tank.

Exactly! E10 will not "phase seperate".

I wouldn't even fool with the other gas, you'll only be dissappionted. The 100LL is the best choice by far. All of my equipment drinks 100LL except the lawn mower, but the last tank at the end of the season is 100LL. Never a problem.

I haven't seen any German made saw plugs in a while. The last ones I saw were either Brazil or china. I ain't having no part of either.
