Inside the MS462C

I miss the simple stuff too Nate. My 51 Ford F1 had a SBC in it with one wire to the alternator, one to the HEI, and two on the starter. Temp and oil were mechanical connections. A single vacuum line to the transmission, and a speedo cable.......

What else did it need?

A blower...

A driver with some common sense!

That's the problem with all of today's great technology. It has created a generation of folks that are too inept to do anything for themselves. Everything has to be automatic. The number of people who cannot drive a manual transmission is baffling to me. A 3spd on the column is now practically an anti theft device.

HD2 filter, DP exhaust cover, and the timing advanced.

Hey, I get to smile when you pull the trigger on my saws at GTGs, what else matters???

Besides, I learned all these tricks (and how to do them) from others on these sites with more knowledge than I.

They just happened to all work great on my 044/440s w/o any further adjusting of the squish, what could be better?

 

[TreeLife]

Mike knows we are just giving him a ribbing, that's what friends do

I miss my air cooled cars, no water pump needed. EPA killed those.

 

[MustangMike]

On the flip side, I don't remember the last time I had to change a water pump, used to be a regular thing! Also, the anti freeze does not have to be changed every 2 or 3 years ... gotta admit ... it is getting way better!

Fuel injected chainsaws. Just wait till *s-word starts failing on them or you drop one. I don't see commercial guys being interested in this at all. I believe it's a good chance for some of the other companies to make a big impact in the commercial world.

I'm excited by the new technologies.

Yeah, I miss the simplicity of the old stuff, but enjoy seeing what's coming around the corner.

I'm not sure commercial guys would wanna make a living with a crosscut saw and an ax.

When FI saws are the norm, some folks will be saying 'just go buy a trusty ol 562xp or 661 if ya want something reliable'. lol
