Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[nomad_archer]

Plug is new as of when I started tuning. Motor was hot and gas was good. I adjusted a little lean at first and had a gray plug. Caught that right away.

Free trailer load, mostly black locust with some hard maple.

I was meaning the motors age/use. Looks good, enjoy.

I wish I knew how old and used the motor was. Serial number was in the last 3 years but I have no idea about hours on the saw.

Latest video. I think it was running a touch rich but when I buried the bar and leaned on it a little it cut real nice.


Here is the final look at the plug after the bar was buried and I shut it down at WOT.

Nice day up here , 65 and overcast so I headed up to the road that Jerry and I are making room for power lines .

I went through a couple of tanks of fuel , I threw the hardwoods off to the edge of the road , left the softwood for the excavator to pile up for us .

I managed to scrounge a load out of that stretch

Looks good, right where you want it... unless you don't mind tuning every time leaving it a hair rich is good so you can take it out no matter 90* and humid or 30* and snowy and not have to worry. Looks good! Enjoy.

I like to set it and leave it be. Glad that I got it right. I will keep an eye on the plug for awhile just to be safe. I just have to put the limiter caps back on.

That saw cuts great now with the mm. Didn't think it would make as much of a difference as it did. Thanks for all of the help getting me through my first tuning experience.

If you are going to throw the caps on trim the "limiters" off so you can still have the caps on but not be limited by the little tabs. MM can make OK saws into fun saws...

Went to an Amish sale today. We're had our share of rain the last little while. This was the view as I pulled in at 7:30 this morning.


And for the visually impaired, this is an awesome, high flotation, heavy hauling log trailer. Well it will be when I get time to cut all the crap off it and add some log bunks. $25.
Also bought 2 swimming pools for the dogs, a 7' rear blade that I don't need, an electric furnace and 17 frost free water hydrants. Yes, I only need 2 frost free hydrants but they were a deal honey. Have I told you lately I love you?

39* a few mornings ago, had a small fire just to take the chill off. What is this "humidity" you speak of Steve?

This humidity is something else. I'm breaking a sweat just putting my boots on.

 

[nomad_archer]

Well I may have made a few cookies tuning the saw.

And bucked up some logs for the splitter

The rounds got split this morning but it is to hot and to humid to stack. I am waiting for the shade this evening to stack.

 

[BGE541]

NA you liking the saw after a little cutting?

 

[nomad_archer]

I liked it before. But now it is fun and it is so light. I did a little cutting with the ms271 and I still like that saw.

 

[BGE541]

Sounds like a great all around saw.

 

[nomad_archer]

Now I am trolling cl and the classifieds to find the right price on a 70cc+ saw that I like. Eventually I will find one I want to spend the money on.
