Good morning saw nuts. Only a slight skiff of snow yesterday, not nearly as much as melted in the last few days. Snowmobile trails remain closed.

The wood was grown into the spicket most of the way.

I'm surprised the wood isn't darker around it. I've been told the holes left from tapping will cause staining.

I was too.
A lot of times the stump log will be darker from the sap being pulled out.
I know some guys that don't like to log woods that have been tapped for that reason.

Could have a nice veneer stick and that will drop the value down a few notches.

Depends on who you tap. Lol

Question: are the aftermarket tank vents for the 272 any good??

To be honest, I've only ever installed OEM vents in 272's and "most" saw's, there were a couple times that the "Echo" style vent was necessary on other models. This could be considered on any model that it can be fitted to. Never tried it on the 272, not sure if I will as surely the AM version is more economical, the factory original isn't that much money and is barely suitable as it is. Would depend on how well the porous little white hockey puck takes to super fines I suppose.

@Czed might have some experience with his 365 clones possibly. Vents are same style.

I have one here that the owner is complaining about it leaking. I might go with the echo style if it's a good fit.

The old saying of only filling the tank up 80% comes to mind here.
