ECHO, echo, echo echo. Did I hear an echo?

I'd rather have my saw built by a kraut than a guy in Japan with have a brain and 3 genitalia. [emoji23]

Thats why I'm building my own. But, I do own a Krauts bp blower, Sweed mower and brush cutter, the rest is American made in some sweat shop factory long ago, woops, almost for got about the Nips echo.

Yep, it happens if your not paying attention

That sucks @astnmacgto about the 395. My thoughts are to either part out what you can, or... keep the carcass and find a donor in the future that has a set of good cases.

Anyone have any luck with saws tonight? I took apart the mac carb again... and readjusted the metering lever. Figured I was bending the wrong end of the lever and that was what was causing me to have the tuning issues. Worst case is it still doesn't run right and I finally put in the carb kit that I bought. Will hopefully test tomorrow and see if that was indeed the problem. Everything else looked spotless so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the issue. At least I can work all day tomorrow believing that that was the issue, and now it will work flawlessly lol.

You bending the part the diaphragm pushes against, most are flush that I've seen but have had a few I had to go above flush cause it wasn't getting enough fuel.

Won't be running any saws tomorrow, got 15 dump truck loads of fill dirt brought in from a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that was under underlayment of their parking lot and may have 30 more coming so guess what we'll be doing tomorrow, moving dirt all day.

So, if anyone runs one tomorrow, have fun and stay safe, and watch out for rattlesnake, we do.

Sure don't mind not having to look out for rattlesnakes in my area. Guess that's one of the benefits of the freezing weather here.

Well, didn't move no dirt, ran saw all day.[emoji28]

Wish I could say I ran saw all day lol. Went to landfill and found some logs for cookies, couple pine, oak, and a ash (I think) which will be for handle blanks. Mac 250 was a no go again. Probably won't get to touch it for another month or so at the minimum as I am off to college in a little over a week. So then I slap the 36'' on the 361 to give me giggles and see how it does. Wouldn't start for the life of me. Dropped the 20'' back on, started right up. Tuned it and it ran fine. Let it sit for a while, no go again!!! Argh! Tore into it tonight and readjusted the carb. When I was looking at the cylinder, there seemed to be some scoring. Hmm? Popped the cylinder, and guess what? I was right. Two score lines, which barely catch my fingernail on the right of the exhaust port. Must have ran it lean too long tuning it! Back together it went and ran again on the third pull. Will test more tmrw am and see if it will restart when warm. Probably will post some cylinder pics tomorrow pm while on break at work so ya'll can see my cylinder. Not the worst, and would much rather learn on this saw over another that is harder to replace and rebuild.

Glad it wasn't too bad. Saw must have not liked that bigger bar for the reason it wouldn't start with it but did for the 20. [emoji28]

Did you clean up around the exhaust port?

Don't have too much fun when you go off to college, too many fillies running around there.

Don't worry about me. I've already figured out that even the most expensive saw made is still cheaper in the long run lol.
