So, the left header was barely warm. Is this a TBI setup? 90's Chevy trucks would do that if one of the two injectors died. Sounds like you have something similar going on

Every word he spoke is true.

Our Chuck E. Cheese finally closed down after 40+ years of nightmare inducing birthday parties. In 1986, one of my fellow cub scouts ran up onto the stage to stick his head under the skirt of the cheerleader mouse robot.

When I was in the auto business, our oil distributor said Super Tech is Pennzoil and comes out of the exact same tank at the bottling plant. That was in the early 2000's so may not be true anymore. I do my best to not give Evil Mart any more money than absolutely necessary, but I must admit...

I have put many many hours on cheap ass plastic 90's Poulans and, while they are definitely bottom of the barrel, they work very well with a good chain and proper tune. They are simple as dirt to work on and new factory parts are cheap and plentiful. I still regret selling my trusty 2150 to my...

Your 501 is a fine machine, I've got one and really like it. Try upping the idle speed first, then take it back to the dealer if that doesn't work. Don't assume that it is in fact adjusted correctly from the factory, plenty of them are not. If you decide to reset the carburetor yourself, the...

Sugar cured FTW. Might as well have a side of beetus with my clogged arteries!

For all the effort they put into creating knockoff products (which are sometimes better than the original), you would think they could pay a native English speaker to write their ads!

The strato engines I have had ran quite well and seemed to be stronger than a conventional engine of the same displacement.

You may end up regretting that!

I'm the type who drills ball joints and tie rod ends to screw in grease fittings. Trying to resist the urge to drill grease holes in my Stihl bar tips.

Makes sense to me. The OEM Stihl and Husky bars I have had don't have grease holes.

Looks like the molasses that comes out of my mom's riding mower when she remembers to ask me to change the oil.

Our state government uses 250's and they are not kind to them. It has my respect for sure! Done and it worked well, thanks! That's my only gripe about the 250, the saw itself is a lot more capable than the sorry stock oiler. Even the HO oiler, which I put in mine, is just adequate for a 16"...

The air filter on my MS-250 is pretty dirty. Can I gently wash it in soapy water and let it air dry?
