I dropped 3 big poplar trees yessiday, first thing in the morning while it was still cool. Hit a stone embedded under the bark on the first one, dulled the chain on the 115 SD real bad. Took out the Jred 590 to fell the next two. Just limned them and left them there for the wood crows.

Not to good fer fire wood.
 
Thanks to Jerry and John for the help today on the Craftsman carb. Turns out I didn't have to tear into again, yet. LOL

Figured out that when I took the carb apart and dremeled off the limiter cams that I didn't count the turns out when I took the H and L needles out. Figured out that the high was supposed to be out 5 turns or so, not the two. Took both needles down to seat, ran L out to 2 turns and the H out to 5 turns and bam like magic it worked great. Tuned the L side and adj throttle to compensate. Too late to tune the H side but hopefully I'll be able to tune it tomm or Sat and then back to the boss it goes. Hopefully it won't fold after a few cuts like it was. If it doesn't then back it goes.

5 turns on the H side sounds like a lot ? But maybe that is how them carbs are ?
 
Yep , they went to bed. LOL

That was funny, they must have been hurt. I do that every time we get close to a big number. Figured if I could delete enough of those a few of us could get a turn at 100,000. Made for good reading, Dan't and Papa Smurf get pretty creative. I liked the Ice King bit.

Jerry poplar/cottonwood is one of my favorite woods to build with, takes paint better than anything.

I wouldn't have known it if the Pit Bull didn't say something ! LOL

I thought so too but was watching a utube vid of a guy rebuilding a very similar Walbro with limiters and he put a white dot on the top of both needles and counted out the turns. H needle took 5 turns to seat and a big azz light went off in my head and I though, would beat the heck out of taking all that crap apart again. Let's try it. Nice when it worked, esp since I've got another one on the shelf in the garage that is probably good so if I get a poulan I can fix it up with that one. LOL

I have had a couple Poulans that did the same thing, had to back the H needle out what seemed like way too far, but a year or so later they are still going.
