So what did you do today?

[hoskvarna]

I swore a lot today. Put a new fuel tank in 2003 F150 and found out the rear strap slot wouldn’t hold the tank up anymore so I came up with a solid enough fix I figure.

It a no weld repair using a chain around the frame. I left strap in place so weight is spread out more using the chain idea and a barrier for rust as the chain is going to rust no doubt

I figure the chain far exceeds the strength needed to hold the tank up. I work I a small auto shop in winter and we have a saying “make it work” the rest is open to interpretation of work using a broad brush

I think 404 chain may have worked too.

Five frozen pipe calls today. I love crawl spaces I can't actually fit in
spent more time feeling up the heat gun in sub zero temps than I care to in a day!

I decided to mess with my new Dolmar PS401, so I modified the muffler, cut the limiters off the carb and retuned. What a difference that made. They must really neuter these saws from the factory. Now I wanna get my Stihl 024 back together with bumped compression, muffler mod, 026 cover and air filter and see which is going to be my new truck toolbox saw.

Did you go with a screen filter on the 024?

I have not purchased the filter and cover yet, is there a better option for the old 024.

Lol... I say the same about them Squeals.

I believe there are metal screen filters for both the 026, so if you are going with that cover, I would use one. IMO, they flow a lot better than the flock. Have em on my 026 and 360.

They don't filter very well though!

Thanks for the info I'll look into it.

Ran 3 tanks thru this old girl today. The men who used to run these saws much have been bad asses, this saw wore me out but man I've never been happier than finally getting to sink a 125 of my own in some wood.

That looks official. A hillbilly friend of mine has a come a long holding the gas tank on his dump truck.

Did you use an oem top end on this one. Just curious cuz I’m looking at one with a Tecomec top end

If the price is right buy it. OEM top end is around 100.00.

It's just a 6cyl coupe with the 200 cube straight six. Not a show car. Just a daily driver. (or will be once we get it down to Milton, FL where he lives.)

Nothing at all wrong with a little six banger, good engines! For regular daily driver use it's hard to do better.

Yes sir. I’m heavily considering it. It’s an OE also. I’ve got a NE and really like it
