I use his chain exclusively as is, I just wasn’t sure I wanted 3 chains for a 28”

Thinking about grabbing a 28” bar for my ms390, it’s got all the mods and some port work. It’s for no real reason outside of not bending over a bunch. A 28 semi skip would have the same cutter count as my current 20” 72dl What’s everyone’s favorite semi skip ? Should I go full skip?

I have almost a full tank through my ms390 conversion. I used the Dukes nikasil jug and pop up piston. What type of compression number should I look for? I widened both ports to 33mm, muff mod, timing advance. A coworker has a 028 sitting around. What kind of mods and upgrades can be done to...

One of the best ever. I always loved a black gold bead, white as shown, and olive with black hackle

The contact spring was bent, had a big bow in it that was allowing the end to dip lower than it should. Got the saw cranked. Will do some carb tuning tomorrow

Cannot for the life of me figure out the contact spring. If I pull the trigger and push the lever to the full choke position it slips under everytime. Not sure if there is something broken off of the lever that keeps the contact spring, or if it’s bent out of shape and won’t work

We have a chainsaw. A few things that were boogerbears in the assembly. The ring compresssor tool works well. The AV rubber grommet from the case to the main handle is much easier to put on with the chain brake removed. The only thing left to do now is try to start it. I have both carb...

Brought home some old dried out poplar, and some stinky spalted maple. One tiny little row of red oak under the poplar

I used the Herman layout for the holes in the face. I also have the stock deflector with th port opened slightly. Can try both. I’m sure I will get tired of the pipe one. I may end up with a a second muffler as well to try different configurations

Stihl waiting on my 1127 ring compressor tool, however a coworker gave welding on the deflector a go. Looks like it will let some air out
