Especially homeowner saws. I hear them now and again in our area, and heard a bunch after the hurricane, but I've never heard one "2-stroking" in the cut.

I got a pair that cuinrearview was selling for parts. One of them didn't take much to get running. I still had some wood piles laying around, so I pulled it out to cut the small stuff. I wound up sticking with it, and burying the 18" bar in some red oak that needed bucking. I was pretty...

For the 150th anniversary of Epihone (in 2023) Gibson reissued the Zephyr Regent Deluxe (1948-1957): If that BLK is still around in a few months, I'll screw up the courage to ask what the selling price is.

A week or so ago, I was actually wondering if the BLK sold. Unfortunately, I just spend too much on a guitar that I'm giving to my boy when he graduates this year.

I was about to. That's what I get for not checking in for a few days.

Seems like you would have been able to foresee that...

So much peer pressure in this thread...

This is the second saw that I bought from jacktheripper...couldn't ask for a better person to deal with.

The saw arrived yesterday, and I put her into some oak with a 28" bar today. She's a beast! You need to eat your Wheaties to get her turned over though. I told jacktheripper to keep the low top, but the shifty devil sent both anyways. Now I can't decide which I like better...

I watched one with his explanation...it didn't make a lot of sense to me. The groove builds up air pressure that gets released when the negative pressure drawn from the piston stops?

In terms of jacktheripper's puddling problem, do you think that increasing flow past the plate allows fuel to flow for a longer part of the intake cycle, allowing the same amount of fuel with a leaner jetting of the idle circuit?

A bigger opening or an additional opening would decrease velocity, but it might be creating some currents that keep the fuel suspended.

That's an easy one to answer...I don't. I think that doing so without a phone would be impossible these days. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that are getting harder to do without a cell phone...

I hate talking on the phone. That's why I still don't have a cell phone. I actually had to buy a watch this year, because no-one puts up clocks anymore...
