Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[sean donato]

I'm not really familiar with the carb on these saws but is there a check valve/ball of some sort that might be leaking? Can you get a mirror/borescope in there to see where the gas is coming from?

I replaced the main check screen with a nos ball check kit. It's kinda a pain to install, but it's also kinda hard to screw it up at the same time. (I had this same issue before I rebuilt the carb.)
Yes, I may be able to get a little mirror in there, but I'm fairly certain it's leaking out of the main jet.

Is it scrounging when the wood comes to you? Was mowing the lawn when I saw my father in law pull up on his lawn tractor with a trailer load of rounds. An addendum to my previous scrounge at his place. My son helped me split it all up. Got about a face cord of silver maple and a good bit of pine which I split small for kindling

What's the barrel for?

Would that be a lean to attached to the lean to? It just cracks me up that you refer to part of the main structure as a lean to.

Well, it is using a supporting wall from the main bay, so technically it is a lean-to, jist not an open one. I actually put all the electrical on the east wall and routed the underground wire to the panel to the east of the south wall, just in I want to add another 16' to the gable end . Just not sure where the cash for that or the time to do it will come from, gotta pack things in tighter lol.

Yea , I have like 3 newly ported saws need some time on them ,that’s the problem not enough time , isn’t it always the issue 🤔

Yep, it's time, money, or health it seems.

Waiting on a whitetail...
It's been a busy day, I'm glad to be out. Gotta restock the venison supply!

Well, it is using a supporting wall from the main bay

But it's not leaning on the wall. If I recall, it uses a half truss (which, yes, is using the shared wall as support). I might see if it was just a rafter, but even then, it shares a roofline and sheathing, so it would not be fully leaning on the wall. Maybe that makes my barn two lean to's leaning against each other since it's a clear span with no trusses at all. 🤔 But hey, you can call the outside bay Sally if you want to. You can even call your future expansion lean to lean to a lean² (trademark pending). I do hear people refer to open horse pasture sheds with a slanted roof as a lean to, and they don't lean on anything! I guess some people are just more liberal than me (in their interpretation of what defines a lean to that is.)

I agree that it is a darn nice barn, whatever it's called. 👍

Being dry and warm today required that I fire up the OWB. I think the new self- loading feature is going to work great! It seems the wood just can't wait to be used.
