how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

The fluid appears to be ok. Still pinkish and doesn't smell burnt.
I have 2 transmission coolers on it.

Very interesting.

I here tell if you plant jalapeno's adjacent to some other plants they
will end up with a slight heat content just from growing next to the jalapeno's.

Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor from first hand knowledge?

And by the way Happy Friday galley slaves, as the infamous Carl would say:

Get to rowing!

That's entirely possible, due to the cross pollination between the bees and the wind. It can make for some interesting surprises, especially if you have some Ghost, or Cayenne peppers growing near something like tomatoes, squash, corn, or broccoli.

Unrelated, a buddy called me awhile back to see if I wanted some wood about 8 miles down the road from me, near his Mother's house that we cut all that wood at. It supposed to be a dab of Mulberry... It ended up being the biggest trailer load I've hauled yet of Hackberry! It actually works perfectly for a customer that I still needed to cut for, as it was mostly dead/dry. It'll be split/racked by next Saturday, and should be good to go by November, with straight line N/S winds blowing along the stack edges. The good Lord definitely provides!! I brought the Ram Rod with me to properly supervise my endeavor!!

Sounds like we are headed back into Summer.

Morning midlanders!

Back to August temperatures for the next week. [emoji3062]

I’ve got two Echo 590 with scored cylinders to patch up. 50:1 and carb limiters did them in. [emoji57]. Both two years old.

That’s a dealer set up fail.
If you get a new echo from spring river supply, you’ll be wanting to lean it out a little.. he sends em out fat.

I’ve seen it happen on saws too.
Most of us on here would notice the performance change and shut er down to find out what’s wrong.
Not sure about a blower though.. they’re weird.

 

[67L36Driver]

The plan for the 590 is to use a double ring piston for a CS620p to see if it will generate good pressure in a shabby cylinder.[emoji6]

The 590 being a single ring originally.

Single ring pistons shout ‘homeowner saw’ in my book.

Both of these 590 were straight out of the box from Orschlens.

Local store changed locations and dropped their service department. [emoji90] Out on the Belt Highway now.

Only setup was mount the bar/chain and fill the fluids.[emoji19]

Check squish and remove base gasket.

Will give you another 10 pounds of comp.
Unless they’ve changed something in the last few years, the squish should be generous enough to compensate For gasket removal, and cylinder and base are nice enough for a good ultra grey or yamabond to suffice.

Ethan’s 600P has been in hard service for over 6 years..
Still runs fat and has great comp.

I have a bg86, I cut that spark arrestor off and trimmed limiter. More of a long game move vs a performance move.

Yep. When I was a newb I bought an echo top handle. It lean seized after a few tanks. I took it back on more than one occasion but I guess they didn't know how to tune it either. I just kept running it until it wouldn't run anymore. They replaced the piston/cylinder, seals, and crank all under warranty. Then you got it and rode it hard for awhile,,,with a proper tune.
