Morning fellas. 56 when I got up. Almost feels like early spring out there.

Morning y'all.

Another lovely muggy day.

70* & sunny here, supposed to hit 75*. I suppose it will be a good day to split some wood.

Morning folks it was 45 when I initially got up going to low 70's at the out of town place. Came up for some relaxation (isn't happening) and to do some gardening and adding pepper plants, that got big enuf that they have peppers golf ball size on them.
It's a bit dry but not parched, and I do have the means to irrigate out of the pond out front, with the help of a good 1.5hp pump.

Hey guys, posted this on the poulan thread but seems that site may have dried up. So decided to post it here on a live site. Hopefully someone can help this OF.
Got a 306a I can sell if I can get it sorted out.
Got and rebuilt it in ‘12. Installed new seals at same time. Used it a few times then set it on the shelf since then. Rebuilt carb again in ‘19.
Got offer for saw recently and again wouldn’t start so again rebuilt the carb, a tillotson HS59a, with all new parts and replaced fuel lines and filter. Now it starts and runs like a scalded dog until I try to let it idle. Then it dies. Acts like it slowly runs out of fuel
Set H to 1-1/4 and L to 1; set throttle idle to
~1 turn after contacting throttle lever.
Saw compression is 120+
Noticed some fuel, very little like with reed valve spit back, in carb box..
What am I missing?
TIA, jerry

Jerry:

Pump side gasket & diaphragm in wrong order maybe?

They will run with vapor pressure in the fuel tank for a short time and then run out of fuel like.

Nice day in the neighborhood. Thunderstorms have caught us up on moisture some.

Shane Hunter has been super busy with tree damage. Sold the 046 to him.

Another street tree down the block lost a large limb.

Drug out the Farmertec 066 to finish assembly and get it running.

*b-word is hurting my hand despite the compression release.

Don’t think so but will definitely check

Got tired of looking at hannah’s Crappy ladder..

So Levi and I grabbed some lumber from the scrap pile and made something the kids couldn’t tear up with a hammer.

It’s all old oak.

Just checked. Gasket and diaphragm in correct order. Thanks for tip

This Farmertec 066 won’t pass fuel at idle no matter how much I turn out the low speed jet. . POS!

And, the generic coil lacks the low speed spark retard the genuine Stihl coil has.

Drilled the comp release bleed port to 1/16”. Helped a tiny bit.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Got the rafters up & most of the face boards on today.

 

[JimBear]

I got all the bucked up rounds split & stacked. The back two rows are full just need to buck & split up the last downed ash, that should fill out the front row.

Happy Friday!

Another beautiful day in Thunderdome.

Maybe flip the reed petals over or check the reed block for cracks.

Good Friday folks. A beautiful cooler breezy morning at the out of town place. Low 50's going to 74, and then the guessers are claiming moisture events starting late afternoon. It's dry here, but not parched.

 

[WoodAbuser]

Have a good weekend everybody. Heading to the cabin for a few days. Hopefully you all will survive with out me.

Morning everybody.

 

[KS Plainsman]

Morning fellas. We had a ton of thunder last night and ended up with another .78". Looks like an 80 degree day ahead of us, once these clouds break up.

Have a good weekend folks.

62* & raining here. Hoping this holds together & gets over to @hoskvarna.

Another frog strangler rolled thru River City. Short lived. Came in from the north.
