Depends on how many hours are on the plug. To me it looks like its new with one tank of gas but running well. Minimal carbon and the ceramic of the electrode is not oily. The temp of the cylinder will show in the plug as well, particularly if things are running too hot. You will get white...

Not actively, I was at a forge a few years ago for a family get together. It was an 8 hour thing along with knowledgeable people for tips so I had time to screw around with it until it was right. From what I remember its all about heat control. If you get good steel too hot it will go...

No detonation ever. I do use 93/94 pump octane for my saws and any other 2stroke equipment. Adding 2cycle oil to gas lowers the octane as well, and I’ve heard many a saw guy and OPE member recommend to use 93/94 octane because of that. I do often ad a splash of octane booster to a gallon of...

Here's a hand forged throwing hatchet/tomahawk I made a few years ago from a 24oz ball peen hammer head.

While the power was out from the crazy wind we have been having, I worked on the bits n pieces I got off amazon to make a few ethanol separators. Cost a whopping $11.93 each after shipping....made 4. After pulling out the guts from the soda bottle fittings I hand tapped the inside of the...

Bumping an old thread with some tested use info. I’ve been running one of these pistons on a 550xp mkI for over 3 gallon ( 3 wood cutting seasons ) of 40:1 as a firewood saw at my hunting cabin. It has seen numerous users after I gave it a good breaking in on 4-5 tanks of heavier mix maybe...

Getting to be that time of the year here too ⛄

Like ^Junk Meister^ said looks like hickory maybe bitternut/slick bark type. Some hickory's dont get shag untill leater in life or just dont in general. Ornamental Peeling Birch is my guess. They are known to get a leaf blight that is perpetuated from their own leaves dropping and...

The way he locked it was the same as the jack u have on the splitter now. He just said that he learned the hard way to put the pins in horizontal cuz logs catch them if they are in vertically, and then get bent. He also said he may in the future mod it to come off, but as of now it is welded...

Do you own a welder? If yes, weld up a flip over stand like this. Make it long/tall enough and forward enough to flip over the front hitch mount and flip over the wedge to lay on the bed of the splitter when towing. Attach it on each side like the flip over jack with a pin on each side to...

Slow n Steady Sir :cool: Keep on Keeping on

Is it all steel? or a cast pot metal? I cant believe its steel or any ferrous metal as it will interfere with the magnet/coil If its pot metal/aluminum the magnet is in the outer lip somewhere, might not be obvious. You can find it with a magnet...if its not all steel :rolleyes:.

Hum ?!? post up a picture of it.

Like AL mentioned above a "quater" size strong are earth magnet should bring it back if its not cracked.....find them on amazon. If you have a drill press, mount the FW on the chuck with a random bolt so it is facing magnet down. Put the rare earth magnet on a board or something not magnetic...
