And my offer to cut one in half with a 925 still stands.:hmm3grin2orange:

sigh.....this thread reminds me of how most high school guys thought they knew a lot about cars because they read a lot of magazines, yet few could pick up a wrench and help fix something. They would argue Ford vs. Chevy and Edlebrock vs. Holley....maybe I already know some of you! :hmm3grin2orange:

if someone has actually done a decent mod they recommend for my saw, please PM me. Thanks for those that tried to help, I see what you are up against.

Go ahead pick on the Wildthing, seems the homeowner Stihls aren't put together much different. Pick on a 290 and the people that own them once and see how uptight they get. You here stories of serving their purpose and all kinds of good stuff.

Alright can't hold back.
If you put it at the front door, it could serve as a mud scraper.

A plastic cased homeowner saw is a plastic cased homeowner saw, whether it is white and orange, orange, yellow, red, or green. just the poulan ones cost a 1/3 as much as the others. The poulan 220 i had in a plastic case couldn't be killed and started every time without hesitation.
Here is a craftsman version WT 4218, rebuilt to a 3816 now out of 2 saws with no cost. Just a short one cut video of 1 cut in action.

Well... somebody has to like those saws... better you than me. opcorn: opcorn:

Red wildthing

Kevin , did you do the same muffler mod to the red wildthing that you did to the PP220 , like the twisted open rear louvres and the two 15/64" holes in the front cover ?

Didnt do the front holes. Figured it was going to the kid for free and he wood probably be cutting in the dirt, if you know what I am saying. So the front is not done and the rears are as open as I could go. No baffle, no screens either. If i end up keeping it for a loaner saw, it will get the holes in the front.
