Park your huskys and jreds on cardboard,, once they have bled out you take the cardboard cut it into kindling size strips and it makes awesome firestarter.

Take the Felling Dawgs off of your Stihl saws, so you don't damage the door you are attempting to prop open. This also will prevent any tire punctures on wheels being "chocked".

When fixing any husky starter add another 100' of cord at red arrow so that when it doesn't start you have a suitable boat anchor.

Seeing as this is the Handy Tip thread, I've had excellent success freeing locked motors from rust by using a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone. I keep some handy in a squirt bottle all the time. It absolutely dissolves rust. Spray a bunch down the spark plug hole(shake it up first) and leave set at least a half a day or more and it will free right up, no crunch. Knock on wood. I've even been able to run said engines with the same rings if not ate up to badly. Frees rusted bolts and all manner of things. Really does work, no guff.

 

[Jughead]

oh yeah used atf many times.never was able to get it to mix with acetone though

Gotta shake it up first just before ya use it. Kinda like vinegar and oil on a salad.

Sometimes you can save yourself a bit of time when rebuilding carburetors, by turning in the Low & High speed adjusting screws lightly seating them and counting the turns in made and writing that down for reassembly before removing them. Then lay them on the piece of paper next to to there settings marked H and L so as not to mix them up. Example: L 1 1/4 , H 3/4 . Now you should be real close on initial start up and engine should stay running good enough to be re-tuned. The sometimes part is it doesn't work if someone fiddled with them first. Then one will be way out the other way in or some such thing, then you are better off setting them to their factory initial settings. Example: found at L 3 1/2 , H 1/4 set at initial factory specification L 1 1/4 , H 1 1/4.

Yeah, I did that 60 years ago, there was a lot more 16 ga. around then.

 

[jakethesnake]

Don't see many 16s any more Didn't they used to call that the gentleman guage?

 

[Fifelaker]

I can still get them up here. I have a few thousand hulls for reloading, but the stores carry them and the range I shoot at has a pallet or two also.
