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

We had decent ice here but only for about 2 months, was solid blue with little to no wet snow content. Been many years since I fished through the ice. We can not fish on fresh water ice, only salt water fishing allowed here.

No freshwater?

No freshwater?

We have plenty of freshwater lakes but the law does not allow us to fish for fresh water species through the ice, very heavy fines and confiscation of any gear or vehicles if caught doing so. We are allowed to fish through the ice for certain species with limits on the catch.

Oh

Oh

On saltwater, missed that in my former reply. On saltwater there are some species with no limits but there are for tidal water smelts, their numbers have decreased dramatically. If we catch a trout or salmon through the ice on saltwater we must release it unharmed.

Here I mostly do panfish and walleye
Catch an occasional pike, they go back.
Son does a lot of salmon on the rivers in the fall.

Every chainsaw site is buzzing about them, most reviews are very positive with a few saying they burn a lot of fuel for the amount of work done.

I could certainly afford one but I won`t ever buy another new saw at my age. I have about 65 runners and maybe double that of vintage saws, I will never wear out a saw again.

I can believe that after seeing the lumber in those stores!

 

[pioneerguy600]

Ready for me to send you this other one then? Only stipulation is it comes with the rest of the power head attached!

I guess I could hunt down a coil... then fiddle with the carb.... but why?

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The carb has been a bit tedious but I won after several teardowns and adjustments. I have two of these 015`s here now, one is the old top handle version, the other an AV model. Both have the same HDC carbs with identical problems. Figured it all out and now the saw work just fine.

I bet they are nice but my wood cutting days are coming to an end, not abruptly but surely. Seeing as I have every cc class covered in many saws per class I just couldn`t justify spending on another new saw...LOL

 

[Cantdog]

Yep new is nice......and FI is probably pretty sweet but I'm with Jerry on the "new saw thing".....last new saw I bought was in 1978 and though I have literally dozens of totally rebuilt saws of various size, it's till the one I always reach for....quite certain it will last me out......as in outlast me.....

Mine have dwindled alot since taking out parents wood burner and installing gas.
Can say I dont really miss doing it as much.
Just like farming, was going to stop when he passed. Im leasing it now and enjoying some me time.


Thinking now I should have said no more a while ago.

Saws still keep piling up here, most I am not buying, they just appear...LOL
