Well Steven just left here with his saw. He was grinning when he drove off so I reckon that means he's happy. 
He left a Craftsman to tune up and dropped off a Dolkita 6401 and a Stihl weedeater to mod..........
I'll post a thread on the Dolkita since I'll be doing a top end swap and a woods port on it.

Of course I'm happy with the saw. I sped all the way home and RAN to the wood pile. BAD ASS! The grin you mentioned was bc of my visit. I always look forward to the visit. I would count a man lucky if he gathers a few friends into his circle over the course of his life. I just feel priviledged to have you as a friend and know you as a person. You're a class act of the highest caliber and I have the deepest respect for you as a person. It was good see'n you and your's again.
Regards,
Steven

The weedeater is a Stihl FS 250R for the record.

I'm blushing here...... :redface:
Oh snap. Get over yourself.:msp_rolleyes:
Allegedly.
I don't know if I'd get too crazy modifying the weedeater/brush cutter. The drive shaft and gear box are the
weak points in those, not the motor.

Exactly what I was thinking JJ.
The last dealership I worked at had a whole pile of FS motors that were still good (40 or so,) meanwhile the drive shafts and gear boxes had all gone to the
scrap yard.
The best thing (in my opinion) to do for those is to lighten the piston just a bit, give it a little more intake and exhaust area, and that's it.
The only real issue the motors have on modern Stihl and Husky brush cutters is the cooling.
When you get the weedeater ported you can take it out by your test logs and cut all the weeds down for tree monkey so he won't be offended becuase deep down I believe he is a sensitive soul who is only interestd in whats best for you and Stumpy.

LMAO
That test log was in the edge of a field.........not on my land. My "yard" is mostly dirt and wood chips.

And neither can you big guy. :msp_smile:
The Echo ones have plastic guides in the tube that can be a weak point too but they can be trimmed away and reinforced with aluminum, as far as the gear boxes...they are just weak, on the hedge trimmer attachments I have just been replacing them with the heads from the Stihl Kombi units, they are better suited to handling increased torque. Shafts from the older Echo straight shaft units are strong to use with upgraded heads.
