Just finished box 6 and started on box 7, no laxative symptoms yet but a belch now n then....LOL

Got to dig a couple saws out that have been hanging around far too long and get em up and running, no idea how many that are lurking around I havn`t even looked at yet, way too many though! Too hot to use saws now and the deer flies won`t leave one alone if in the woods anyhow!

Lunch time!!! And T-shirt replacement!!! Ran that little 42 Special in Mikey's hardwood pile for an hour or so...good power for such a small saw.....cut right along real nice......time for it to go home. Ran the 490 and 590 some too......and the "Get'erdone" 268XP.....still my favorite!! Fit and stacked about another cord this morning.
The 590 has real good power.....but hates to idle.....actually idles good but then all of a sudden it just stops.....doesn't change speed up or down...doesn't stumble.....just stops...like you hit the kill switch....any thoughts???? I've installed a new fuel line, carb kit, intake rubber band and impulse nipple....I have two other 82 carbs.....perhaps I'll UC and kit one and try that....it seems it's always the ones out on the ragged edge of performance that are wicked hard to get right.......490 will idle itself right out of gas before it will stall.....

You try swapping the coil out ? Only thing I can think of ? Could be something in that carb , just not sure what ? LOL

Nope haven't tried swapping the coil out yet.......perhaps try that before fussing with the carb....it certainly stops quick like an ign issue. Worth a shot!!!!

His wife will look you right in the eye and tell you "He's obsessed" when talking about him cutting wood..........LOL!!!!

Only other thing I can think of is a bare wire gets touched somewhere along the way ? Vibrate nuff to ground it maybe ?

That damn saw hurt me John. I was healing up pretty good from a torn groin muscle, then after cranking on that thing for a half a day, I hurt it again.
