You will be warmer over there. We'll be bumping around low to mid 90s' here all week.

The heat sucks, but we have had mild summer up til now.

Not complaining here!!!! The soybeans are liking it, and the sweet potatoes need the over 90 temps to really grow... The firewood is drying nicely too...

Melons and peppers not too good here, but everything else is great! Best mater year ever!

Man, that two weeks of rain was crazy. Lots of flooding here. Never have we got that much rain in August! Now we are too dry.

Depending on whether I get just a gasket/diaphragm kit or a full kit. I picked up a diaphragm kit for my old 770D for $7 from the local Stihl dealer. They have scads of different kits. Some full kits run about $10-$12.

Well, I took this video back when I first started it...

Stihl 090 First Run - YouTube

Runs easy... piston and cylinder were PERFECT. I had a gasket in the carb installed improperly and the saw flooded really bad the first time I tried to start it... Almost dislocated my shoulder cranking on 137cc's of stubborn Stihl thinking it should start... It starts in about 5 pulls now everytime.

I just don't know what I want to do with it... I will never use it. Anyone have a need for a big saw?

Surely you jest!:jester:

Your first sentence runs through my mind when I see that poor lonely saw calling my name. I pass on a large percentage of them but every once in a while one slips through the cracks and goes home with me.:msp_rolleyes:

Well, it didn't come with a bar... I do have a large mount 28 or 32" (I think) Duromatic Stihl bar that I bought from a junk pile at the same sale I bought this saw from. I don't have a chain for it, so I am a little in the dark as far as DL count for the bar on this saw.
I just wish I had some big wood to run it in. The only thing really wrong with the 090 was a bad coil.... It has a new Aftermarket 070 starter, fanwheel, and a new aftermarket bar cover... All was sanded smooth and painted with the TSC Ford Gray and Kubota Orange.
