Don't forget Will, I put a new tank vent in with that starter decal, so it should be there anytime. It was mailed last Monday?

Oh ya, ****, I forgot about that. Too many dam things on my mind.

You're box of parts should be getting shipped out tomorrow.

OH, I know, but thanks for the reminder. I'm never in a hurry when its my own saw. I don't even have any wood to cut yet soooo. It'll be soon. I'm going away at the end of next week, so it'll have to wait till after that.

...I'm glad you started it when you did, gives a great example of what it takes to put a good saw together,
including waiting for those little parts you can't run without. Thanks for the updates! :msp_thumbup:

For crying out loud Will, the 490XP will be out by then!

I know, I was tempted to fire it today, but the plastic thing on the carb that holds the throttle cable is broken and the cable just slips right off, so not going to bother till I get that.

I ran an old ear plug as a vent for a couple weeks once in a 372 until I could get to the saw shop.

No Idea Terry. Why not try out the 385, I've heard they can be made to be real good runners.
