Yeah and maybe one or two more(3?) if Randy has the time.

Having fun so far and loving the results gained
I'd be happy to do as many as you want.

Recovering from this surgery put me back a couple of weeks....but work kept showing up. I'm sorta used to being behind though. LOL

I found as long as a grease the rubber lip, the stick filter works fine. I do have some of Jason Egan’s filters and we run them on our saws we use to fell burning/burnt snags on fires. They work great.

Hey @Mastermind how do you get the flywheel of a 025? It's a friend's saw that has been sitting the last 10+ years, I gave it a good rip and it started and ran for about 5 seconds but the pull cord broke so that ended all the fun. Boy were we suprised! It's mostly torn apart now.

This is what we use.

With those type "Knocker", I always hand tightened it firmly against the flywheel first.
Now back it off about an eighth of a turn. You basically just want to feel the threads have some free play in them again.
Now I preferred a smaller hammer, say 8oz or so. What your after is a fast sharp swing.
You're needing something that lets you give it that sharp shock.

No need to grab the big hammer, more chance of breaking something with it.
We're not trying to drive a railroad spike.

And an 044? 😁 I snagged a Maxflow foam filter kit to throw on my 044 that Randy is doing. I run a Maxflow on my 440/460, and on my 064. I’m very pleased with their performance.
I have the machine work done, and Jon has your muffler done. I hope to have the port work done by the end of the week.

I wasn't at all comfortable sitting at the bench these past couple of weeks, so I did the machine work on 15 different cylinders as I was recuperating.

I'm finally able to sit and do my port work.

Randy hope all is well with your medical.

Do not over do it during recovery, you don't want any medical set backs.

Good customer should understand and exercise patience.
