Well, Shaun came over and gave me some good ideas on setting up for the GTG yesterday. He also got some home brew samples for helping me figure out my 9010 problem and tapping my Alaskan mill for me! Water-logged fuel filter... Doh! :bang::bang: So easy yet the last think I would check! I'll be stopping for a couple fuel filters on the way home tonight and going out to use my 9010 for the first time tonight!!!!! Thanks Shaun!

On another front, I did find some logs! Yea!

You mean you didn't replace the fuel filter when you put it back together???
:msp_scared:

Sounds like something I'd do...:msp_biggrin:
 
I'm getting pretty excited for this deal. I ran across a really good deal yesterday $75 for 372xp pretty stoked had it started before I went to bed. Hopefully I'll have it running properly by then.
 
sweet deal on a 372! I just got a efco top handle 132s for cheap at the honey hole. Piston looks good so maybe just a little carb work and fuel lines...

Congrats on the new saw!

guess I'm used to the cheap mesh screens that don't hold in the water... Not the big fuzzy filters that soak it up like a sponge...

Thanks I'm pretty excited. It's in need of some work but It's a lot cheaper to fix than to buy a new one plus this gives me an excuse for 52mm BB:chainsawguy: It's loud compared to my 346xp :D but not loud enough

Might I suggest a new meteor piston/rings and a grinder? As opposed to the BB?
You'll be glad you did...:msp_sneaky:

How tough would all of this be to do myself? I'm more familiar with atv's and dirt bikes than saws when it comes to internals. Husqvarna isn't a Banshee :D If all it takes is a simple DIY i'd try it. It will get sent to Stumpmaster Flex for a supreme redneck make over. And dumb question but I've seen a few Blue plastics for Husqvarna's in my day where could I get some at?

Depends... If you just want it angry, do it yourself...
If you want it to EAT IT'S OWN OFFSPRING!!!
Send it to Stumpy...
:hell_boy:
 
so it is said that stump creates canibles now? huh... :msp_biggrin:

Well??? Sorta like this vile creature.... He sent this thing over to be run hard and put up wet...
But it made me a bit nervous running it... Any Stihl that runs over 15,000 RPM's is just freaky.
I think it wanted to cut my leg off when I wasn't looking...
I sent it back and told him it was possessed... I had to keep it away from the 023...
:waaaht:

No doubt in my mind it would have fed on it, given the chance...
 
all is good as long as thay don't try to eat themselves.
i hate when that happens

Yup... Now how in the hell has that 026 of yours not eaten it's self yet...
Other than it's lubed with sawdust...:hmm3grin2orange:
That's a vile little creature too!
 
Directions?

Pssstttt... I'm working on my door prize(s) for anyone who can start my Makita 6401 that has been dormant for two years or so (it has a spark).

However, I need directions and a date for arrival. Last I heard, October 6 was set, and somebody said this event was somewhere south of Des Moines, IA. Has any URL been set up for details? TIA. :msp_confused:
