Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

You guys seem like experts at killing weeds and bugs. I've got some carpenter bees in my outter porch railing. What's the best way to treat for them. I know after you kill them you have to wood putty the holes shut and then paint it as they like unpainted surfaces to bore into.

Any input on this. Thanks!

Shotgun!

Weedeater!

Both work great!!!

Wife put a two man crosscut saw in the house as decoration, I figure here is my opportunity to put a chainsaw in the house as deco. What would one recommend that could be gotten on the cheap? A piece to put in the living room somewhere so can't be too big.

Any stihl,,wimmen like the girly color scheme and they aint worth cutting wood with

Excellent point. They usually get old and dusty quick from being passed over for the higher performing Husquvarnas. Shouldn't be hard to find one cheep. Someone must be looking to get rid of a doorstop somewhere:msp_biggrin:

Wazzat meen ??

In metalworking;

Trepanning........
To cut a groove in the face of a part on the lathe. Deep enough and you drill a hole thru it. Can be done 50' deep....

Put cotton balls with Sevin on them in the holes.

And badminton racket for when they fly at ya. Don't sting well.

I just sprayed them bees with bug spray then plugged the holes with caulking. Haven't had any more trouble with them ? I do re-coat the deck every other year. Maybe that helps ?

Well checked how much the rockers on the camshaft move and intake and exhaust appear to be the same

So now what in the he!! could it be?

Did more mowing today,just hit 60 hrs. on the mower ! Just a hair over one season on it ! And that isn't doing the black berry patches !

I mow way to much !

 

[dancan]

60 hrs ! I hope you're using it to snow blow and move things around , if not , you have way too much lawn on your hands ....... LOL


No saws but I did pick up a 6.5hp Chonda from a pressure washer for 20$ , the original owner found out that frozen water is not good in a pump housing and a non warranty item . It has a nice big muffler on it so it should be quieter for a wood splitter than the regular Chondas .

Not sure what else it could be?

It has spark on this cylinder

But maybe it's just not good enough?

I rebuilt and cleaned it with no change in the way it ran

All passages clean new jet new gaskets

Cleaned fuel pump including the breather on it
