Went to start the vet as it has been sitting a long spell. No joy. Float stuck in the carb., making him old 'face full'.

Let him set overnight and maybe the fuel in there noe will soften things up.

Someone jacked one of our 250's that was setup with our dime tip caving bar out of the back of our truck a couple weeks ago so our sponsor in joplin hooked us up with this yesterday.

did you try to tap on the carb inlet with a plastic hammer.. gentely, some times on Q jets and clones that will knock float / needel and seat loose

I haven't ran it myself. Darick says it has nice av and feels smooth and well balanced. Not as powerful as our normal MM 250's that we are used to. But I will fix that soon enough! Lol!

Good morning

 

[67L36Driver]

Meh....................be a lot better if the USPS would at least scan the package containing a tiny Poulan in their system. Saw was shipped from Vermont and then shows up in California. Nothing since the 15th.

That's on the list of 'to do' before removal and cleaning.

Rule #1 on a vet is to have a fire extinguiser ready when working on the fuel system. With a 'cake mix body' they can burn to the bare chassis in a hurry.

Got a chuckle from that Matt. Thanks!

Good Morning everybody. Got off work yesterday and bucked some logs/limbs I got for free from a tree service. This heat and humidity takes it out of me. I was roached after about 1.5-2 hours. Anybody else have this problem? I sweat like a hog---looks like I jumped in a pool with my clothes on.

 

[Oliver1655]

Do you have a good shade tree to work under?

I do fairly well in the heat, but have to wear a long sleeve t-shirt under my uniform to keep warm at work. They like to keep the AC at 73°F. BURR...!!!

 

[sunfish]

I keep the AC down close to 70-72 in the shop all summer. I don't like the heat!!!

Yup...
2 hours of profuse sweating will pretty much drain you...
Then it takes about 4 or 5 hours to re-fill...

Not at my woodlot

That would be nice. I may check around to see what I can come up with. My dad has had a couple industrial fans/water coolers he made out of scrap before. I always thought he was crazy for making that stuff. Who is the fool now? I can see the smile on his face when I ask him if he still has one or if he thinks he can make me one.

I'll make you a tentioner

I'll make you a tentioner

Or a snubber from a smooth piece of steel mounted on a stob. Mount it so the backside of the belt has limited travel.

 

[Oliver1655]

I just have a mount mounted to the fan it's self that is hinged & the weight of the motor provides the tension. If you do the same thing with the engine, a steel rod welded to the side of a piece of 1/4" steel plate, you will be able to quickly move the engine from one piece of equipment to another in just a minute or two. I will try to remember to take a picture of one tonight. Simple but effective. I picked up the idea from the local Amish.

 

[Homelite410]

Watch the oil being away from the big end of the rod for lube. Keep gas engine as flat as you can.....
