Central Va./Dinosaur50 GTG 2012

[Pioneer fan]

Loading everything up now. The pipe saw fired on third pull, so i think i finally got it dialed in. LOL, Don't expect alot of "WOW!" factor from it, but she should put on a show. 36cc's, and my first attempt at a true "race ported" saw, i feel lucky it runs at all


The MS170's bog issue reared it's ugly head again, so it will not be coming along. I either have to convert it to an adjustable carb, or get a couple jets from the dealer to dail it in

Carguy, if you read this, I have your check valve in my toolbox. I will have it with me at the GTG. Just come up, and it is yours. I will be driving a Seafoam colored F-150. Big dude, (6ft4, over 300lbs), should bve easy to spot...lol

Hope everything goes well for you guys! Be safe, and have fun!

Sorry I could not make it back, but the trip was hard to justify with not having any vacation time and gas at close to $4.00 a gallon.

Be sure to post up some pictures.

I would really lke to get my hands around the neck of the "engineer" at stihl, that decided it was a good idea to put this abortion of a carb on the MS170's. I mean, come on, NO mixture adjustments at all!!!!!:bang::bang: I can get it to idle great, and bog at W.O.T....if i tinker with the metering lever, it will rev clean, even 4-stroke slightly....but refuses to idle. SO off in search of an adjustable carb I go. lol Time to hit the search function....i know Brad had a thread awhile back on this

Thank you, I will get up with you. My F-250 is brown and straw colored with a nice coat of pollen, no time to wash it with getting saws ready. See you in the AM.

I should be rolling in around 1100-1200. Looking forward to this event.

Dean,

You guys be careful out there today. This will be the first Monument Avenue 10K I have missed since they started the race, I think we had around 1000 folks the first year, now there are 45,000 runners/walkers. Who knows if any of my saws would have run, but at least I could have covered the ground like I did at Rick's.

The good news is that my house in Richmond sold yesterday so that is one less headache I have.

Another big bow saw!

Big older Stihl bow saw, seems the bow saws ruled today!

Great location and weather turned out perfect!

Thanks to all the guys for coming, great food, and GREAT HOSTS!! It was a blast, thanks. Put faces to names and had a good time! No GTG is not complete without the attack dog to guard the saws!

Randy,

The fellow with the beard is Ernie Harris from up in Louisa, he is one of David's saw buddies.

These sort of pictures make me wish I was still back in Virginia.
