went to charleston for a couple days ,,to help my sister reclaim the back yd.
wysteria in every thing. heck of a mess.
any way the 295 vapor locks on me and the partner will only run w partial choke on. got the 295 straitened out.
it took care of anything the cs3000 didnt. speakin of which that little saw never missed a beat. it may have a different carb ,i dont know.
dam humidity would take some getting use to ,,in charleston. id go an hr. and take a break ,first day.... second day ,,im outa time. so had to go the full 10 rounds,, at one time...my sister is one great lady so ,,time well spent.. she did pay me more than i ask,, by double.classy lady. yall be good.
ps ,,, i live in nc so we got humidity problems ourselves. but charleston,,was about as bad as ive worked in..
 
I hear you Tony, I worked on a forest health monitoring crew in the coastal plain of NC about 2 years ago and its no fun. The humidity has to be at least twice as bad there as it is here in the piedmont. The foothills and mountians would be a blessing.
 
Yeah last weekend my buddy and I took out two walnuts, trimmed 3 maples,and went to another house and took out 6 small oaks. It was 91 that day, and this weekend I am helping him again and it is going to be 87, but humidity will be over 90%. I have to admit at least his Stihls never vapor lock. It does suck the power out of them though.
 
I was real ambitious tuesday and blocked up some maple laying around. In the mid 80's with around 80% humidity. I was pretty soaked after about an hour with those chaps and ear muffs on. The Stihls never vapor locked but didn't want to idle quite as well as normal.
 
i knew u was gonna answer brian. i wouldnt pretend,, to understand the conditions,, a florida summer might
cause... unless u on the coast with fishing rod in hand an cooler full. now that cant be two bad.:D
 
is it a 2 man boat. oh sorry those special times,, are for just u and the fish and of course your choice of beverage.
in any case sounds like a winner to me.
