. Just teasing Mike. I had to do that. 
Dropped off an Echo CS341 with Jim after I picked up two bar/chains at Jeff's this afternoon.
Kind of an open ended lease till he gets his fixed.
The little husky now has a 1/2" outlet on the muffler. Up from 5/16" Yikes!

Saw an older Echo 440 or 441(?) at a pawn shop today. Nice shape but I have other saws in that size range. 150 asking price. I did get 2 021s for $75. One runs but not very well, the other has great compression but just wouldn't pop. I have another 021 at home, I have $10 in it. I'll make at least one good one of the 3 and have a tank assembly left over for a 025/250 with busted off fuel cap threads.

I'd love to install one of those on my 372xp or 562... Normally by the time I have the 9010 out and ready, I'm warm enough...today's project if only I get time!

I'd go .75".that should help.
Or maybe 1" full...
If I could get the thing apart I'd make the exit hole larger but the damn thing is crimped together.
I have a box store Poulan muffler here somewhere maybe it is the same cylinder flange pattern. Those are easy to open up.
Hey to the fellas in Smithville and liberty.
Is there an honest to gosh Husqvarna dealer/service place in your neighborhood?
Need a fuel cap for the 142. How someone can break one is beyond me. Yikes!!

Rough morning, to say the least. Last night I started the splitter and let it run about 15 minutes. Shut it off, pulled a drop light out to it, tucked up next to the engine. Turned it on and covered the engine up with an old blanket, then a plastic tub covering the blanket. I've used this method in the past to keep car batteries warm when it gets super cold outside, figured it would help in this instance too. Well, we will not find out if it worked or not. When my son came home, late, he saw the light on and went over and turned it off. . Got down to the cut site, man it was cold. Bar oil did NOT want to flow. Even after I mixed it 50% with ATF. The tree we were cutting on was in a holler, so Bob backed his trailer down into the holler so we could cut and work downhill in general. Got the tree cut up and loaded, about a cord and a half. Went to pull out the same way he came in, nope. Tires spinning on hard frosty ground. Had to back the trailer out the bottom to level ground then up a less steep direction. Finally got the trailer up and out. In the meantime, spent 2 1/2 hours, off and on, trying to get the splitter started. The next engine is going to be electric start. Got home at noon, extremely tired and hungry. I think I'll just veg out in front of the tv the rest of the day.

Went to the VA hospital today. Last night I had a sinus headache and went to bed early. This morning the left side of my face hurt down into my ear, jaw, and throat. It hurt to chew, talk, and touch my face. I had to work OT today so I put my 5 hours in and went to the VA hospital. Turns out, I have a bad sinus infection. 2 weekends and 6 days lost with wood that needs to be processed for next season. I told the boys be ready to work tomorrow after church and lunch.
On a brighter note, we sold out of firewood yesterday. A guy bought my last 2/3 cord delivered. He couldn't believe the amount of wood compared to his last purchase. He told me the last guy showed up in a short bed pick-up full of wood cut to 12" and sold it to him as 2 rick. One of my ricks (1/3 cord) is a whole bed full. I started explaining what a cord was and he jumped in and said I used to live in NY so I know what a cord is. He appreciated the honest sale. Carry on....

Got another Echo 341 running. Dang fuel line tank grommet leaks. Getting short on parts for them but I have two more carcasses/engines that have ex. compression. No little bars left either.
Jim!!!!!!! Sigh, another trip to Halls.

Steve! Five or six parts 30w Wally World bar oil to one part kerosene works well. Must do in Remingtons in cold weather.
