Is that a 10-10 close to the box???Lots of others too. Over there with the starting lineup include a Homelite 925, Poulan 505, and 8500 all running.
Most of the saws in the foreground don’t run but a few do.

Nice you have a whole slew of husqvarna 65s one of my favorite. I have 3 or 4 myself. Great firewood saws have a very distinctive sound. A couple of those look mint usually they are missing the stickers.Lots of others too

Yup thats a 10-10 (not mine, here for repairs) and I’ve got a 3-10 and PM555.
Yes they’re my favorite! One of them actually has the ultra rare chain brake!

Teens as in younger fish. The big footballs get tossed back. Many dont know not to eat old fish. The meat is better when theyre younger
Jeez, after a million years you blokes finally get a decent day and you're complaining!
Just can't please some people.
Well fellers, I'm both back from our trip away and all caught up with my reading. Since there has been even less scrounge posted than usual in my absence, I don't feel at all bad about spamming things up with other stuff.
Warning: Pic heavy. Sorry. Well, not really sorry.
So we cruised the north-west coast of Australia. The only way to get through there is by boat once you reach the end of the road, it is about as remote as it gets. No phone or interwebs up there. There are a million islands up there and the land is ancient - in the region of 1.8 billion years old. Sedimentary rock, no fossils. Check the folding and distortion of the sandstone in this:
We were on a small mothership with a dozen guests and 5 crew. There were three tenders towed along (Barry, Trevor and Jack - named after the local fish Barramundi, Trevally and Mangrove Jack) that were used to do most daytime activities.
The tides are massive - up to 11 metres and at the fastest rose or fell at nearly two inches per minute. This pic is at Horizontal Falls which is two tidal pinches where the water roars back and forth under tidal force alone. I have a vid somewhere that shows it better.
Moonrise on the first night.
Sunset on the second night. We had been oystering in the morning and chowed them down that night. The sunsets and sunrises were stunning.

We fished most days as that is where much of our food was sourced. You always had the feeling that you were being watched, not sure why...
No shortage of snappy handbags around.
Absolutely unafraid of humans. No rinsing your hands in the water!
We were after Barramundi first and foremost, a beautiful eating fish. They were a bit slow as the water was cooler than they like but there were a few around.

When the tide came in a bit, we'd go up the creeks and then it was just one fish after another. Drop a bait in the water and you'd see the swirl behind it and you'd be off.
Spotted Rock Cod
Mangrove Jack
Fingermark (just a little one)
Then in the open water got this Queenfish on a lure
Which became this in the evening

We were having a troll around in the fast water around the rocks
when we saw this little fella sitting up on the point nearby. Pretty cool. Skinny little guy, it's harsh country. Only the crocodiles are fat up here.
And the sharks of course.
We did a heap of other stuff as well, the mudcrabbing
The fire on the beach (it would have been 100 times the size if I had been involved in its construction)
And of course the general lazing around as the scenery passed us by
Amazing week.

It was, very very late production 65’s.
I just learned yesterday that the very early ones had a different clutch cover too. The cover LOOKS identical but the stud spacing is closer together.
Love them especially the sound. Every one I have ever owned and/or used had fine particles messing up the carb and I believe that is why this one is here. I do not think their filtration system was the best. Legendary series of saw though.
I work on small engines and if it is a Briggs engine, some of their carbs have 3 holes in the plug at the bottom of the carb. I use OxyAccet torch tip cleaners and clean those holes out. The biggest thing I can recommend is to only use Non-Ethanol Gas in those small engines if they sit for a while. If you are going to use it for a while and go thru lots of gas then Ethanol will work as long as you drain it out when you get done at the end of they season and then refill with Non-Ethanol and allow it to run a min or two. Carbs can be really tricky and a pain in the backside!
