It's not how big the equipment is, it's how well you move it lol.

I went to my local saw shop, who are usually pretty good at sourcing even non-chainsaw stuff. However they say this carb is discontinued and it's going to be close to $400 for a new one...no thanks. It's really bad inside, bad enough that I won't bother just trying to rebuild. I'm going to look online and maybe just try some cheap Chi-com carb.Kinda odd.
I cleaned the carb on my kids quad this summer and the whole airbag was a mouse nest, and the carb was filled with mouse piss.
Pretty sure this is it as it is the same as the trx90 nozzle/jet, I do know it ran better when I was done!

They are like $20.00 off Amazon, and don't have that part throttle stutter like the walbros did. I've been running one on my 1450 for years now with no ill effect. I did have to swap out my choke shaft from the old carb, but I figured I would have to do that when I ordered it.

Dang bro, did everyone leave you along because they thought you were a cop.
Our kids don't have to deal with it as much since we homeschool, but they get plenty of interaction with other kids at our homeschooling group, which they go to once a week every week. We've only had one real issue, but what was great is since all the parents are friends we got to talk thru it together and then with the kids, and amazingly the problem never came up again. But if there was ever a problem I don't think our guys would have a problem dealing with it. Our used to beat the boy arm-wrestling
, and he did
. It didn't take him long to learn not to do that LOL.

Those memes apply to me. The last one that happened was after I did a tree removal at my fire job. There was a big redwood tree that had roots invading the kitchen. I got approval to remove it, but apparently approval meant go find 3 different tree companies to come and bid it. I said 'eff that and just did it myself.
One of the guys I work with was a certified arborist for 15 years before he got into firefighting, but doesn't climb anymore, so he was my groundie. I'm a 1/2 competent climber, so I climbed it, did some rigging of limbs, and brought the spar down in 16' long pieces(we were going to mill them for fence boards.) It went perfectly until the chief showed up and saw it when all that was left standing was a single 40' stick with a rope tied to the top.
He's a saw guy too, so the first thing he said was "nice job." After that, he proceeded to chew us out for violating all sorts of policy and procedure. E-mails were sent out informing everyone that we aren't allowed to climb trees and to refer to policy before doing something out of the ordinary.
Just make every move deliberate and specific and you will accomplish the intended task. In a saw race many times a more powerful saw has been beat by a skilled racer that was smooth , deliberate, and specific.. Now we all know that is not what you were talking about but heck I had to toss a saw reference in every once in awhile.

Ok so I just had some people on reddit all say its poplar
I think you're right. Had some that looked exactly the same, but couldn't remember the name.
Maybe huh.
Black Walnut, obviously!!! Dries fairly fast, if you have glass on your stove, you may see some interesting colors when you burn it.
The bark on Walnut is deeper furrowed.

Beware of that creep. He is a Narcissist. I have one too and can't wait until the man croaks. We are having a neighborhood party the day he goes down.
Yes, good outdoors, we use it here for railway sleepers and fence posts. I was thinking about getting rid of the rot and filling with epoxy, but i've only done very small areas with epoxy so far with my woodworking.

Unfortunately, these sorts of people seem to be propagating...or at least they avenues to share their negativity(social media.) While my immediate neighbors are really cool people that just want to get along with everyone, we're starting to get asshats moving up from the city.
Right now, there is a loud contingent of people complaining about teenagers on dirtbikes. A group of local kids ride their bikes around on the local private roads that they live in. There's no bylaw against it and I did the same thing when I was their age.
They're pretty respectful kids and I know most of them, but a local contingent of buzzkills are up in arms about them riding their bikes around. Us natives don't care about it, and I even give them the "throttle hand" to encourage wheelies when I see them, but the nannies ***** all over that Nextdoor app about them.
The same people that are now complaining about the dirtbikes, are always complaining about something. I've been the targets of their complaints before...my wintertime slash piles are too scary and my chainsaws are too loud.
Luckily, they're still in the minority around here. One of my neighbors is an 80-something year old guy, he's probably a 1/4 mile away, but always drives over to say hi when he hears me fire up the triple-port 066. He says he can always tell exactly what saw it is and figures there's something interesting happening if he hears it. I've asked him if he thought it was too loud...his response was "#@%$ anyone that does!"
I was shocked to see a Filson shirt on craigslist here in Michigan.Filson tins are great fir those rainy days in the strip I'll tell ya! Good armor against brush too!
Last few days were perfect for the tins, nasty out with lots of wind, hoping tomorrow the weather breaks and I can get something done.
