Anyways, back to chainsaws: 32:1 lucas, a smidgen of mmt and a smidgen of stabilizer. Thats been my go-to for 3 years now. I have echo cs 520 50 cc saw that has an airleak and gets extremely hot. The airleak is somewhere near where the carb mounts to the block. I believe 32:1 and a smidgen of...

No idea. Check all the exploded diagrams from the online parts stores like babbits or country cat. I will say this: the oddball 16" x 156" x 1" 2.52 driver track is no longer made. It was used on the bearcat 440 ll, the many later bearcat 570's. So if it's one of those, u gotta snatch up used...

Yep, I do firewood, slabs and logs with ole sht box bearcats. Or really any older 2 stroke utility sleds. So ive used the lucas oil stuff all my chainsaws, yamaha, polaris, ski doo and arctic cat utility sleds, evinrude and yamaha boat motors and solo ice augers. The lucas stuff pours from a...

Still using cheap/plain-jane Lucas 2 cycle in all my 2 strokes. Can find it at any O'Reilleys napa or autozone for $9.99 a quart. Year #3 in the saws using lucas. Funny thing: completely overhauling an 80hp suzuki 550 2 stroke. Oil injection tank full of lucas. Just bout finished out...

Some of the fuel stabilizers supposedly have Polyetheramine. Like marine stabil. I saw two weird changes in my equipment when using marine stabil in all the fuel: 2 stroke: exauhst ports still had carbon build up, but it wasn't hard, it was the consistency of grainy bubble gum. You could...

I asked Chatgpt: Who in the chainsaw world could combine tweaking with twerking? Chatgpt answered: StihlEchoingHusqy.

About 30 mins of cussing

I cannot believe how much the 4910 plastic handle weighs: 14oz A stihl 044 wrap weighs 16 oz. Gonna be a sweet set up once my 25" narrow kerf. 325 bars get to Alaska. Its taking a little while because them exotic gems are coming all the way from Australia. Gotta make a more aggressive...

Worked my cs 590 on a half dozen paid tree jobs. I use the 590 interchangeably with a 620pw. Here's how to set up one properly: 1. Replace fuel nozzle (eliminates "go-rich" governor) Walbro part# 86-578-1 2. Add clutch side felling spike echo part # 99988802100 3. Advance ignition with only...

I know you're like 2 decades older than me but I am going to scold you: Young man, when you have shelf full of hungry echos, you are to use them on hazard trees. Money spent on hazard trees, no money spent on stihls. Funding for paid helpers can be raised by selling all those overpriced Stihl...

I would gladly plug a 42" 3/8 low profile milling bar on that 395, buy a 25 ft loop of stihl 3/8 lp pmx milling chain and knock out slab after slab after slab. Depending on grain and species, really wide slabs are worth a ton of money. Just a heads up, a 42 inch bar fits perfectly on the 36"...

Top end refresh on the 2000 arctic cat Bearcat 550 Widetrack. 7000 miles and low compression. Some interesting stuff when compared to a chainsaw: On this Suzuki 550 cc liquid, the upper transfer ports and exuahst port roof are very FLAT. Being liquid cooled and no air leaks there is NO...

Mokai already figured this out, as you're trying to reinvent the low-T wheel. Perhaps you could find one used and cannabilize the parts from one beta-male watercraft, to another beta-male watercraft? https://www.mokai.com/

Ahhh, the cello goblin struck again. Hes so sneaky.

Hahahhahaha. The farts dont care about exauhst clamps!
