Yep. I wish we could get WV to annex southwest Virginia.

I'm afraid that's only the tip of the iceberg. The majority of Virginia is in for a long four years thanks to the NOVA voters.

Makes sense, thanks for the information! I thought I had tried a 620 cap at one point, but looking at the parts list I see they share the same size o-ring, at least. I'll have to try again, but I'm thinking something was different enough that it didn't work. Or maybe I'm thinking about a...

A couple of curiosity questions about a 4910 I recently acquired in the Home Depot closeout sale: Is there a better fuel cap available for it than the one that requires a screwdriver blade to loosen it, hopefully one with two studs like the oil cap uses? I'm hoping something off another saw...

That's impressive. Good luck to her!

That's just rude! ;) But I don't blame you. :D

Yep! I think the starter handle was a back-up idea, just in case you'd left your scrench elsewhere. I guess... I do agree that it's not handy, but I guess it's better than nothing. LOL

"Buckin' Billy Ray" I don't like the way he saws the file back and forth while sharpening, but he does do a decent job of explaining angles, hook, etc. The one thing to remember with a lot of these West Coast videos is that they tend to prefer more hook and lower depth gauges because they...

I think he's a bit much most of the time. I don't have much patience for Youtube but looked him up because I see him mentioned sometimes. Seems like a nice guy but he's too rapid for me. ;)

Looks like you're getting the hang of it!

Absolutely! "You got to get that gullet", as one Youtube character is fond of saying. LOL

Yes, I just increased the angle a little more to keep the rounded edge doing the cutting, to simulate the shape you get when you round file. My machine scale says it's 55 degrees, but I don't know if that's accurate or not (it's a Vevor grinder that I went through and tightened up). I usually...

I used to carefully use the screwdriver end of my scrench on my Echo caps across the studs - you don’t HAVE to use the starter handle. But now I’ve whittled down the handle of my chip brush to a flat, square surface that works well on the caps. So brush them off clean, blow them off for good...

Yep, I do that. Makes sense (to me anyway) that it would help.

Thanks! I have one of those. I finally figured out the post I was remembering was on AS; it was a fluid applied to the wheel periodically that was supposed to make it cut cooler and cleaner. I contacted the vendor twice about it, and the scond time he never replied, so I figured he must not be...
