Wrong Mix Ration of Gas/Oil for 2-cycle engine - New Craftsman Chain Saw

By rides I meant roller coasters not cars.

Haha, I had no idea. That's pretty cool that you work on those. Serious engineering goes into something that a half stoned, half drunk carny, who's had 4 hours sleep and 30 hours of driving in the past 48 hours, can put together and take apart 2x a week for decades, and then hurl people around, and not kill anyone.

Not a carny lol. I currently work at Hershey Park as a ride mechanic. Nothing I'm in love with, but it pays decent and I'm close to home, vs being on the road working on heavy equipment. Unfortunately I can't talk too much about work without risking getting fired so I don't mention it often.

We adopted the metric system in 1975!* We use it for engine displacement, nuts and bolts, and soda. That's about it really. That's when we realized we'd rather keep the system we liked.

Them SOB adjustable metric end wrenches are about as confusing as a metric pipe wrench or pump pliers. They are all head scratchers for dumm daym mericans.......

Incorrect. I am a registered Professional Engineer, and I work with European, Asian and American clients. I have to use all kinds of units. BTW, Europeans often use bastardized metric units that are not SI, such as kg/cm^ for pressure, instead of Pascals. And, as I said earlier, while in college I had to convert "g" from m/s^2 to furlongs/fortnight squared as an exercise, using a sliderule.

This is a forum where chainsaws are discussed, not useless sliderules. When you 24" bar is jammed in a fall, how do you use a sliderule?

EH?

What does that have to do with anything? But, to answer your question, I use a metric wedge.

I demand the return of the five minutes I just wasted reading this thread.

I once had to convert US EPA vehicle emissions factors that were given in Grams per Mile... I feel like that was just Americans trolling the world on that one!

That is funny, an Aussie calling an American a troll on this site

Well, I assume it was someone at the US EPA trolling, they're pretty smart cookies and I doubt they accidentally got their units mixed up. I had to respect the effort
