Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MechanicMatt]

Come on, people trolling on the internet? Nah!!

 

[svk]

I don't know what's more funny. The petty guys with their baseless BS claims and infighting or when the salty old codgers types show up on the forum after a few too many brews lol.

I haven't played with it since I posted the problem. It seems to be only a starting problem, doesn't want to even 'pop' when warmed up. So far I have been unable to demonstrate it at that dealer - 4 tries to do so already.

I'd check the plug, very cheap and why not have an extra around, I've got a bunch just don't know what they all go to lol.

Might be vapor lock. Have you checked your fuel cap? Next time, try to loosen the cap before you start it to see if that helps.

Good idea , a bad vent will act similar, why didn't I think of that lol.

 

[chipper1]

They've come after me plenty already lol.

It can get ugly, over what, a few seconds, literally .
As we were talking about earlier, many relationships or possible ones have gone down the tubes over some very petty things.
I've personally spoken to many of the folks involved who could have a huge part in silencing it and was told that these things need to just run their course, disappointing to say the least.

That is about 6 hours away from me unfortunately.

Are you pretty close to GA, I've sent a good number of saws to a few different guys down there and over into LA.
I'm sure if you put up a who's in FL thread many would "come out of the woodwork" pun intended .

The big incident was a total mess and folks who weren't involved or perhaps not even around for it are still making judgements and assumptions based on a false narrative of who was right and wrong. In the end, those who have chosen their friends poorly will be burned when their so called "friends" throw them to the wolves when something better comes along. Seen it happen a hundred times. It will continue to happen to those who do not learn.

In the words of Yoda, "faith in your new apprentice, misplaced may be".

And you are right. The folks who could have straightened things out quickly either didn't or actually poured fuel on the fire.

I'm an hour into FL from the Alabama line. Or about 2 hours from Chattahoochee which is the corner of Florida-Bama-Georgia line.

Rare time right now, I have nothing to add but, truth .

Wow, your in the middle of nowhere lol, but sometimes that's a great place to be .

Not exactly the edge of the earth but a great place to spend the winter.

But if you do find a saw that you really need between Pensacola and Tallahassee I'd be happy to pick it up for you.

I have no problem with anyone here, as long as they only run huskys .

So, I'm the problem child who runs Stihls, Eh!!!! I'm gonna sick SVK on ya!!!

Fights, I never seen no fights ... well, maybe except in Oil Threads, or Pop Up vs Flat Top, or Ported vs Stock, or Stihl vs Husky, or Round File vs Square File, or Full Comp vs Skip, or Semi vs Chisel, or ...... well just a few ....

So now just to settle everything, the correct answers are Flat Top, Ported, Stihl, Square File and Full Comp! See that, these things are easily solved!

I'll stick to my echo's, round file, fire wood hack status. I agree with ported and full comp. The 590 has .006 off the edge of the piston but its domed from the factory so never was flat top.
I missed the big fights by a month or so when I joined so I don't know anything

 

[Jeffkrib]

I usually come on here in the evening to relax and unwind, the last thing I want to do is argue or fight!

Dealer has changed the plug twice now. I even pulled it to check to see if it was flooded. I have tried to use the saw for 2 months now and have only gotten one tank run dry...and that is a dinky little tank.

Been in a funk for the past couipel days, couldn't get up any ambition at all so jsut sat around the house.

Treat yourself to a new 661 and you'll be up and about, long time.

I did snap that last night, 2.5 tanks through a little ms180 gets a fair bit done. 2.5 tanks, so about 650 ml. That's the size of the tank on the 038 I think (maybe it is 600ml). No way would I get that much cut with one tank in the 038.... Although the mountain of chips would be bigger, a lot bigger!

I can't be bothered to do the maths for you....a UK pint is 567 ml and 20 FL Oz. So if you want us pints it's 650x20)/(567x16). Oh...I just did do the maths!

I like the baby stroller/trolley casually parked nearby the wood pile.

That is not the middle of nowhere. The middle of nowhere is the Great Salt Lake desert in between SLC and the Nevada border. It's as close to being on the moon as you can get in this country. There's no birds, no bees, no bugs, no deer, coyote, people, houses, trees, grass, weeds or even dirt. If you have never been there you should go. There's so much nothing there it's worth seeing.
