High visibility colors would make it easier to see him, brown n green don`t really stand out in that thick tangle we were working in.

Ran a couple saws Fri.....had two problematic saws that have been at the shop for awhile..a 49sp and a 51 Husky.....think I finally may have cured the 49... that ran good, cut good, idled well and restarted hot and cold well....so MAYBE that can go home AGAIN... The Husky still not sure of...runs and cut good but is very unpredictable at idle...idles fine but will occasionally stall and not want to restart.....acts flooded but when it does start it doesn't smoke, stutter or anything...just starts.....sent the carb through the UC and a new full kit.....set the metering lever with the Walbro gauge.....I think I may have to go back in and set it just a tad lower. Was cleaning up my maple pile left from the Popple Harvest and road testing these saws.....both totally rebuilt..stock...new seals and gaskets, rings, fuel lines and filters etc...going in and do some more this morning....gonna reset the lever on the Husky and give that a try......these are the 2 in a hundred saws that seem to have no interest in a second life....we'll have to see who is more stubborn.....already been a couple yrs on both taking up space at the shop after being returned by their owners....threatened to set fire to the pair numerous times...after blunt force trauma...

 

[pioneerguy600]

Have you done a vac/pressure test on them?

 

[Cantdog]

No I haven't yet......the 49 straightened out yesterday and ran flawless .....the 51 also went good....that'll be the next step if they become problematic again.

I like to test every saw I work on before and after a rebuild, it can pinpoint or rule out potential problems that can drive one batty trying to figure them out once up and running.

Worked fine for me til the hose leaked on my vac tester, darn near tore that saw all down again spraying all suspect places with soapy water, no leak could be found until suds sliding down the hose started bubbling. Darn hose, came off my 1964 Chev truck, was a vacuum hose or windshield washer fluid hose, should have lasted much longer.....LOL

Gawd I hate when stuff like that happens!!!! That ranks right up there with doing woodworking......my usual problem occurs when I have to do something nearly impossible and I focus so much on that part, which I ace, then find I've something totally stupid or had inchitis and cut the whole thing an inch short, rendering the impossible work just firewood. It's something I might fire a helper for doing.......or at least brow beat for years....

Years ago my friend Mikey and I were building several very intricate staircases in the shop......Mikey was working on a curved piece of cherry base moulding.....roughed it out on the bandsaw, hand planed to fit the base skirtboard perfect.....made a jig to keep it square going through the moulder.....and had set up a router table with a straight bit to make the top parallel to the perfectly fit bottom......it came out beautiful...about 4 feet long....standard base mould to fit base the mould at the top and bottom of stairs . He was standing the admiring his finished work......fondling and inspecting....suddenly he fumbled the piece.....it fell right onto the still running router bit turning 28,000 rpm...the piece exploded in chips and was launched across the shop into a cement wall........all I could say was....."Well you know how to do it now"........that was in the old shop....the piece still sits on top of the TimeSaver in the new shop.......Mikey thinks I keep it to embarrass him......not so......I keep it to remind us all that losing track of what your doing, even for an instant can be catastrophic........luckily it was only wood...not body parts....
