Trees you've cut

[Brufab]

Thanks everyone! Yea I was hoping to mill beams out of it being 20'long and knot free. Oak wilt is prevalent in michigan. My heart sank as I watched the saw chips turn from a pinkish orange to brown and black. Anyways it split like butter and will burn great. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Happy sawing!!!!

Echo running good. Getting close to the end of warranty and hoping to open it up a bit. Only hiccup I run into is if I don't release the tank pressure by opening the gas cap some the saw will flood and not start. Is this common? Happened a couple times. When I do crack the cap open it does release alot of pressure. I ASSumed with that much pressure in tank it forces alot of gas thru carb when trigger pulled. Also all my cs 400s rip great and getting ready to MM one

Think it's the opposite. Your tank vent maybe plugged. Also check muffler screen.

Yes. I'd check the tank vent. Echo has simple replacement.

 

[huskihl]

The tank vent only lets air in to replace burned fuel, not back out.

Fuel is bypassing the needle a little bit. The metering diaphragm could be getting stiff holding it open a little bit also

 

[RI Chevy]

Tank vent doesn't let air out when its hot in summer? To prevent gas expansion? Keep tank from blowing up?

 

[Duce]

But, he is saying it is pressure. Sounds like he may be confusing it with vacuum.

 

[MustangMike]

It is my impression that tank vent "vent" also.

Not supposed to. Epa crap. Tank won’t build that much pressure

 

[huskihl]

Older ones vent both ways. Newer vents are only supposed to flow IN to the tank

What's up neighbor .
Nice job.

Also check muffler screen.

Let's not forget the muffler bearing .

 

[MustangMike]

Wait, isn't that next to the left handed smoke shifter? Or was it next to the sky hook?

And if you are having trouble starting that diesel in the winter, just pour an extra bottle of amps into the battery!

And then there was the time we tricked the other Scouts into thinking you could sift salt from the stream for their burgers ... that was fun to watch!

Hey chipper1 hahaha thanks. So your on the other forum too???

 

[Brufab]

Thanks guys still trying to figure out how this forum works. Is there an app for ope? I'm not the best with technology. I'm more of a move pile A to pile B kinda guy if that makes sense.

Cut this elm yesterday on my uncles place, it came out full and pretty this spring then just died standing. He's about to put a house on his place and this tree was within striking distance so he wanted it gone. It was about 75' tall and a little better than 25" across the stump. Couldn't have done it without my helper.

 

[Brufab]

See a logger in training there! Great work!

At a factory I worked at(book binder) we would send the new guys to the maintenance department to find the purple handled paper stretcher, then they would send them to another department lol. It was a good time for sure, but we didn't get much work out of them for a while.
