working on other builders saws

Back to the fuel pooling issue. I was speaking to a pretty well respected porter and he told me water was wet. Has anyone else experienced this?

There may or may not be a greasy trucker cap in the tool box section below .

Mine has water and two rusty files in it..

I see the greasy trucker cap is key to keeping the water out..

Good call.

Yes...

And if you add alcohol to it, the water is even wetter..

Any opinion on the relatively new theory that fire is hot?

 

[thomas1]

I don't think that's what he is saying.

50 hours is much less time for a logger?!?

Is that like dog years?

Well now you've opened up a whole other can of corn.
Cause it can be hot a bit, but a whole lot hotter if you'd just cover up your wood pile.

To tarp, or not to tarp...

What if you're a logger?

They don't make tarps big enough for a whole log pile.

Give or take a few years.

I'm no tarpologist. But if your goal us to keep the logs wet why use a tarp?

It depends on what kinda' oil is mixed and at what ratio.

And this is why they don't make tarps that big.

An astute observation though, I must say.

I'd take a quick look at it, after all things do just wear out. If it looks like it failed prematurely due to the modifications I'd contact the original builder immediately and get them in the loop. Plus, shipping can be expensive and if its a simple fix I'd much rather have someone closer, who I know is more than capable, fix the saw and save the owner some money.

To go further, I have fixed things done by other porters that where an obviously mistake. I don't post any pictures or raise any fuss. I just make a mental note not to do the same myself and move on.

That's the best reply in this thread. I do it the same way myself. I've been inside modified saws from around 20 different builders, and most were good but a few were not. I just fix 'em and move on. I don't talk about it other than what the owner needs to know.

I save the cans for Dunlap. He makes funny things with them.
