Not so pros 4 new and without politics

[Czed]

Good morning guys,
my sleep was good, over 7 hours.
I'm going to continue with the chainsaw cleaning today, and I'm also going to list more defective Husky hobby saws for the Norwegian market. There is obviously interest in them, not that I understand why though.

I've never even bothered to try to sell the china saws but my friend who I loan a clone 372 often bought this today
I'd bought a customer return 395 clone and they sent me this
Mistake they said *B-S.... I said
I got it for 100.00 shipped never been ran sold it for 160.00
Might try to sell more.

With us, the big interest is 50cc, certainly twice as many of them as the 40 and 60cc combined.

Now Scandinavia is such a small market that the Chinese don't bother making clones. They've started with look-alike 550s.

I'm both surprised, but at the same time very happy that someone wants hobby saws, gets $60 for something I never understood the point of having in the car home.
Otherwise, it's actually good that someone chooses to recycle and not throw it in the trash.

You might’ve missed some stuff, but @John Wargo didn’t miss the deer.

I am well aware that @John Wargo smoked the deer and all the damage to his bike, the last I read Big Red and nixed any thoughts on a new bike and he was looking for a private to rebuild it after the dealership quote crossed the 5 digit mark.

We’re about to melt down here.

I am glad to be home and on the back side of that heat dome. Was 95f at 11pm on Saturday on my way to my hotel. BTW, the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis needs someone to figure out their AC, could not get the room below 75, a night I expected to be in my own bed was a really $hitty sleep.

I've been told labor rates are 120.00 or more an hour at local repair shops even for diagnostics
I talked to the local metal crusher operator.
He's not allowed to pull anything out any more because people would break in to steal whatever they had set aside.
He used to pull catalytic converters and radiators people would cut the fence to steal them
He sees many chainsaws getting crushed
But can't save them anymore I still get calls to work on stuff but I don't have time
They buy new replacements usually.

Very similar workshop prices in Norway too, parts prices are also much higher here, limiting how much an older, often defective chainsaw is worth.
To throw things in the trash, we are obliged to sort them, plastic separately, electronic parts separately, metal separately, etc etc. And with a repair shop price of $100+, it is a big waste to use the trash.

I don't think they throw the chainsaws in the trash, most workshops donate pallets to, for example, Eastern bloc countries.

Warmest I've seen the thermometer by my bench register, during first shift.

Everybody shares equally in it, so the actual number does not matter.

There's probably 4 variations on the recall.
Some, we connect a knock sensor to the block then go into a program that measures vibration. Based off the results the engine is go/ no go.
Some we check build date, if between a build date, replace. That's what this is.
Long story short, piss poor crank bearings, finishing and casting flash left in oil passages...

I’ve been hit twice by ricochet's shooting steel lately. AR500 on a chain. Nothing serious but it gets you thinking.

Only ricochet occurence I've had was bird shot and a Zenith console tv.

Did he not change to 0-40 to make it all better?

 

[Dub11]

Oh and it's 70 here lol.

Yes, I had a buddy's friend drive me past his house one time. Had a front yard loaded full of deer like you could not believe. I wanted to stop and pop one and leave the guts in the driveway for Al, but the guy driving didn't like that idea at all and sped us away at a fair rate that stepping out was no longer an option as I had the door part opened.
Anyways, yeah, Al had a pretty nice spread in MidTen.
