I now know why you cut in Crocs - the fuel and/or oil leaking from your mis-installed flippy caps runs right through them!

So, if youāre the guide taking the camera guy on this trip
What would you be packing??
Me- fresh underwear
A slot across? That might be what I started doing after I lubed up the outside of the saw a couple of times. I just peel the foil back maybe a little less than 1/5th of the way then squeeze the bottle to force the oil out. When the oil level reaches the neck of the tank stop squeezing and the flow stops virtually instantly thanks to the negative (relative) pressure in the bottle.
G'day fellers,
Out to the farm again this morning. Picked up a load of bonfire junk and poles first. Or at least I have a picture of a load of junk and poles
Then I picked up the remaining rounds from previous scrounges.
Then I went down to another log I knew of, just needed to make sure it was ugly enough to scrounge. Check.
Zipped through it with Limby
Split enough to make up the load once I reorganised what was already in there. Also made a start on splitting for the next load.
Scrounge on

Well they sure don't make it easy sometimes but I've had several that made me want to pay the engineer a visit....... at 2 in the morning....... when he least expects it lol.
The worst is a saw with the oil cap squarely under the handle. No good way to fill it other than a second set of hands or propping the saw up on about a 30 degree handle.
Starter assembly and top cover screws are a big gripe of mine too. I've found several straight tip screws ( aka the scourge of wrench turners around the globe) directly under something forcing you to come in at an impossible angle....... on a straight screw. If you're gonna do something that stupid , at least use torx or Allen screws and give us poor saps a fighting chance at least

i watched the wilderness adventure dvd "Land" last nite... few scary bear scenes... and some good hunting shots...
i never ovefill the oil, i just spill it!!!Then you better listen a little better, but I'm not denying that it's operator error.
That being said, I've never heard of anyone having a husky flippy cap come loose.
Right, yours just don't start when you're out there.
If you overfill the oil, they won't lock in well.
As I said above, I'm not saying it isn't operator error, because I realize it is, but I've never had that problem with any other cap design.
i use a glue brush dedicated to clean caps. pre-open. i was just thinking compressed air. what type of cans do u use?
many arborist pros prefer... !
looked like this after?The best story I've heard on it was a guy my buddy worked with doing concrete walls, he was running the demo saw and the fuel cap popped off and he was cutting rebar, he was alright after he started rolling on the ground and the guys threw sand on him. Before that he looked like this.
Lots of learning in this thread, I've learned a ton thru the yrs. It's always nice to be able to give back, that's one of the main reasons I joined AS.
not the kind of lesson i want to learn... this kind of OJT sux!
lol, let's blame he Hollywood producer... not the camera man!Gonna need some pictures of it sharp, looks real bad in the first pic
(ps: it was! wouldn't cut!!)
looks curved to me! prob just optical illusion due to horizon's shift...Sweet!!
