" IT NEEDS THE PRECIOUS " OOOOOOOOOH YES..... look at that chainsaw in the trash.....
Stihl BR600 bower. Exhaust valve snapped off. The piston tried to squish it and poked a hole in inself.
Did that just last week. In a hurry, put on bar and chain to finish up a carb repair job. As I pulled forward on the chain to seat it in the drive sprocket and set the tension I nearly cut myself on the freshly sharpened cutters. Glad I caught that mistake before I handed it over to the customer.

A local Arborist friend calls me last winter and says he has long length of pin oak and asks me if I want it and I said (duh) sure and his log trucks grapple puts it next to my driveway and the butt end is hollow and there's something shiny in there and I reach in and pull out a 1970's Miller Beer bottle with the same mildew on it that's on the wood it's touching. So here's the question - how did the beer bottle get in the tree. No scars, wounds or open knot holes. Sorry it's a little off topic - anyone see anything like this before?
If it was a different brand, I might suggest that maybe it was not pin oak tree, but an Anheuser bush?

After a hard days work standing around a beer is good
....Maybe they folded the mast on the bottle before they stuck it in the...... Wait a Minute.....
That is wierd!
I don't think it's off post. It's definitely a WTF, but had to have a chainsaw touch it. Lol

Promac.. My cheapo 394 I stole the bottom end from came to me with the chain on backwards. nice 28" bar with a terribly destroyed chain on it (I don't think it was run backward, just slapped on, bar nuts were loose)
Around here, we have leafcutter bees.. anything that has about a 1/4" hole shall get plugged by them.. I have a propane transfer hose that was plugged solid.. any small hydraulic lines get plugged.. open radiators.. check. We have the mud daubers too, I've just never seen them get into any trouble

Never seen a grass fire get to the saw that started the fire before. lol I fixed this too! But it weren't cheap....
This is that one in a thousand plugs that got a piece of carbon stuck right smack in the gap and caused the saw not to start!
Okay, here's my best guess. I'm thinking that bottle was set down next to the base of that tree when it was just a sapling and as the tree grew the bottle was engulfed by the tree. Then as the tree aged and got hollow the bottle ended up inside the hollow cavity. A good friend of mine has a very large poplar tree in his front yard. Up about 10 feet off the ground there is a fishing pole sticking out of the tree. It was likely set up in the tree by a child many years ago for safe keeping and forgotten. A tree will envelope anything that is placed next to or attached to its body.

I don't have pictures but I cleaned an old iron pile up that had been left for years in an open field augers sticking out of trees car rim wedged in the sides of trees it was actually sorta neat the trees I've been cutting this year have barbed wire in them at various heights that is confusing to me I guess the tree grows at diffrent rates thus the height of the wire is changed
This is not good. Broken piston bits made it back through the intake system!.

I got in a big hurry once and added a couple links and drivers to make a new 36" chain.
My customer said he was sharpening the chain the first time and started scratching his head when he came across two backward cutters. Lol

These are two instances of pinholes in aftermarket cylinders. I have a test rig to verify that they don't leak prior to installing.

What do you use in the specific?
It looks like a strato-charged Stihl... or am I much mistaken?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^What do you use in the specific?
I made this broken crankcase tester with a rubber base gasket. I used a bad crank with no piston innards.

Expand this for the pic of the test rig.
--Yes, good eye. You are correct. TS800.
