Yup! She's the only one that thinks saws and cutting is cool. She has a toy Stihl chainsaw.

That's awesome

How old is she? I have a 2 year old boy that loves chainsaws too! Lol both my boys have a stihl chainsaw toy but my younger one utilizes both more than the older. And he also has a Home Depot toy o e. He is a collector lol

Got some work done on the 3300 today, got my good jug cut down and piston and rings put in and checked compression before ring seat. It came out to 190 before my guage started leaking off, needless to say I don't think I'm gonna mess with that, I'm just gonna go about my business with getting it ported and get it put together.

I got my crankseals, oil pump gasket and seal put in and installed my large countervibe clutch.

It's starting to come along!

I'm getting excited

She is almost 2. I want to get her a pink Husqvarna toy saw. There is some cool vintage toy John Deere's and poulans and Homelite's I want to get for her too so she can be like me when I take out the old saws.

You and me both, I hope it's a real firecracker and not just a dud

That'd be real cool! My wife is pregnant with our third one and it looks like it's going to be a girl so I need to start looking for pink saws. Once I get caught up financially and maybe stabilized I want to find one of the pink Stihl saws they ran for a bit. I can save it for when she is ready I didn't know John Deere made kids toy chainsaws I'll have to look for rhat

Yup green saws and yellow saws. I like the pink Stihl lineup and the breast cancer awareness saws Husqvarna makes.

Yeh it'd be nice if stihl would do another pink run. I haven't been able to find a lightly used one...or any for that matter

Well before I had to go to work this afternoon, I got to see how my work on the Craftsman 2.3 and Stihl worked. Both seemed like successful projects, but only time will tell. Looking forward to being able to use them both again. Was really starting to get to me lol.

 

[s sidewall]

You running a 14" or a 16" on the 2.3? Mine originally had a 14" bar til I ordered a 16" one from sears, also had ordered a thumb bar adjuster which done away with the screw adjustment. I swapped the adjusters back out to the original 6 years ago when I decided to get her going again, before I put her back into the original case and placed he back on the selve. I run the 2000 more now for trimmer limbs.

I'm running a 14" Windsor on it. Came with one of those non- flippable bars in a 16" and I didn't like the balance of the saw. The 14" has a perfect balance for me. If the wood is bigger I can grab another saw. I just really wanted to get it running nicely so I would grab it instead of the 017.

 

[astnmacgto]

Well, got it finished mostly lol still gotta put bar and chain and and clutch cover on once all my sealer dries.

I can't wait to try it out. Pics of it doneish

Yeah buddy, I'm starting to get pretty good making louvered ports.

I'm not a huge fan of pipes sticking out of the front or corner or wherever

 

[astnmacgto]

And in case anyone was curious, this came out of someone's dead saw pile.

Oh and ummmmm, forgot to mention......

Finger ports

I like my louvred ports as well, I kinda like the short pipes too

Speaking of pipes, I wanna start experimenting with tuned pipes.

Maybe if this Poulan runs good I'll experiment with building a fully adjustable pipe so I can tweak it until I like where it's at, then I'll weld it.

 

[LonestarStihl]

I've never been a big fan of any of the piped looks I like the slotted gill look myself.
