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

Well , I guess I'll have to prove you wrong , just you wait .
Might even send away for a pro ground chain .

Those little stratos don`t need more air, that`s a bunch of hot air....LOL
Muffler mod and a timing advance, Piltz kit n it will equal a stock 026....LOL

 

[pioneerguy600]

241 is a nice saw but for me I will stick with the 45 or so I have now, the noisy 026`s get it done for me. For the cost of a 241 I could get another 10 - 12 026`s.....LOL

Meh... what I have here I will likely never wear out unless I have a lifestyle change. All decent saws.

OK.......I guess I'll have to admit Stihls are good for SOMETHING other than boat anchors, land fill or wheel chocks.....

So the J’Red 2156 finally got delivered today.
Bad omens begin when you see that the bar is hanging out the box.
Was in an appalling state.
Needed to be stripped (sorry no other pics, was far too embarrassing).
The second pick is after 2 hours in a bath and still looking dreadful. One of the grimy and filthiest saws I’ve ever bought

Did it smell like a septic tank? Looks real slimy.

Looked like it had been stored in a swamp. Hoped to have the saw going by end of day.
No chance, left it soaking overnight. Should have an update tomorrow or day after.
Thankfully the carb and P/C were still in decent condition.
The anticipation is now killing me.

Spray on oven cleaner and a stiff tooth brush.......liberal amounts of both will get rid of all that grime...

It will be a good saw again.

My 262 looked like that when it came out of a dumpster from over in Wareham. Cut a lot of wood in the last 9 yrs. They are worth cleaning up.

Dark and raining hard here this morning.....joy......it would just figger.....the first time in years and years I have a nice plow truck at my disposal, every single snow event this winter has turned into a major rain event then a freeze event immediately after.....most of the snow rained off.....deep ice everywhere in the woods and layers of it on any side hill. Very treacherous under foot if you get off the beaten path.....

 

[pioneerguy600]

We basically are following your weather system, no snow but little ice on the ground until this morning, the precip falling is turning the ground to icing on a cake.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Most of todays new made ice has now melted and ran off downhill, turning cold again and beginning to firm up again.
