Glad to hear he's OK. Must be bad if he can't play with saws!!!
No problems with the saw.
Sorry to drop out again. In the last couple weeks, I've had a friend and a distant relative pass away, plus I've been feeling like crap. I think I figured out what's going on. Along with this bug that's been going around, I have severe allergies, for 3+ years I've been getting weekly allergy shots. They were working great, I was almost built up to a monthly maintenance dosage. Several months ago my allergy doc just up and left... moved to Kentucky. :bang: He was about the only local allergy doc. Now everything is coming back... seems even worse now. Along with major fatigue. :msp_unsure:
Along with feeling like crap, all my wood cutting areas were flooded out. I need to get a log back to the house to do the video. Last week there were duck ponds in all the cornfields around here. I did manage to sneak out to the field in front of my house for a couple hours last week and kill some Snow-Blue-Ross Geese.
I've lived here almost 20 years, that was the first time there was ever any considerable amounts of Snow Geese here.
Anyhoo... I'm hoping tomorrow is the day. The fields have dried up decent. I should have time to get a log and do the video. I haven't ran the saw since the 1st time in the woods when I first got it done. Plus my 14yr old son is on Spring break. He can help me with the video/Youtube loading crap. I think I only did one video years ago of the Wild Thing I built. I remember it was an all day thing trying to get it uploaded. I struggle with that kinda stuff. Plus having a minor step above dial-up internet, it takes all freakin day to upload.

I'll be the first to ask. I'll take that stock jug and piston off your hands. I have a 2800 Poulan in need.
Glad to hear you're gettin back on your feet!:msp_thumbup:
And all I got is dial up chit ! Would take me 3 days to watch 2 mins of it ! LOL
It's not long, I was in a hurry just to get a few cuts in before dark. I'll do a better video later.
I will get it ! Just take as long to down load it,or longer ! LOL

Here's a quick video. I believe the saw has a lot more potential with a better carb. The carb was new, but either has issues or too small of a jet. The venturi size is good, but something ain't right. In the video the L screw is 3 1/4 turns out and the H is 2 1/4 turns out. :msp_mellow: Tbone sent me a carb I might try tomorrow if I have time to play.
