It's definitely got some time on it. Probably the hardest thing on a saw besides milling has to be stumping.



That's da plan. :)




That would be slick. It'll be going to the mill to cut lumber stacks and buck logs. It's gonna get used all day, everyday.



It was lean when it got here. Plug was pretty white too. What was weird was from the plug back back to the intake was clean as a whistle.

My opinion:

I would change oils used, and they may have done that already, knowingly or otherwise. As consumers, we are not told if Brand XYZ is still adding (or maybe not adding anymore) component 345 to their blend.

I bought some oil called "Rejuvenate" and you can tell its cleaning carbon out, quick, fast and in a hurry. Whether thats good or not...

Pre-ignition?

Lots of people watching... including my local dealer!

Interesting things we talked about a few weeks ago, my local dealer and I. I've been friends with the mechanic in the back for a couple years and he does a few side jobs to make ends meet. He started using some of the parts I had access to and told the boss a few weeks ago to speak with me about it. Our discussion was that he's loosing business, sales are down and that the shop in the back was keeping them afloat and that it to was dwindling. He knows I use aftermarket parts and that his mechanic does a few side jobs for those that can't afford to pay a premium for OEM parts. He's good with that as he knows he can't pay the mechanic nearly what hes worth or what he has to charge customers to keep things running.... my dealer is now nearly $90 an hour and won't even touch your stuff without a service fee minimum. BUT he knows the service department is the money maker and that $90 fee is killing them.

I told him that every customer that chooses not to pay the high price of repair walks out and won't come back and that using aftermarket parts on non-warranty repairs may save his business. He could give the option to use OEM or aftermarket for half the price and he gets a customer... maybe for life because he is trying to save them money.

Since that discussion a few weeks ago and a recent visit to the shop last Thursday... he's smiling again. Wanted to say thanks to all of you watching this thread, all of you that have done a test of one of these cylinders. Not only are you making a difference, its helping others that you may not have realized.

One of you told your local dealer about this same exact topic and he called to see what the chatter was about.....

Thanks GUYS, my hats off to you....


back to the topic.... what's keeping him so long? After a breakfast like that one I need desert now!

Hey Randy,
It was a three egg omelet with sausage, onion and cheese. Thick sliced ham slab, wheat toast, fruit, OJ and coffee.. no pie though, they said it was too early... California....

Henry said that the VA GTG is good for him. He's all giddy, what did you say to him?
