With old saws i always tune them in the wood, richen up the hi side untill its real snotty even under load while cutting, then slowly bout 1/8 turn at a time go lean until the saw cleans up and makes one long exhaust note no burbling. The low side setting i usually start at 1 turn or so out from seated, then go lean until the saw starts to die off then go back rich until it starts to die off, then try and pick the middle of those too points.

I don't think it's all that bad, just mostly need something that is going to clean out all of the old fuel and some dirt, the saw sat in a shop for 10-20 years without a fuel cap so there is a bunch of grime and stuff in there.

Struck Mini Dozer is all I have. Nice tool for my small space. I have added a few features to make it more capable.

I wish I had a bulldozer but then again I don't have the land to have one, I just want one.

So I checked the fuel tank of my XL-700 and it's not as bad as I thought it was just a light film of gunk. My fuel lines still seem to be good surprisingly, they are still pretty ridgid to the touch and when I pulled the fuel filter apart and looked st it and found no junk in the screen.

That is a rusty nylint toy from the 1960's. I disassembled-bead blasted-prime and paint-got new decals. Friend with mini lathe helped me make the muffler out of alliminum--He had all the special rivets for steel toys and paint jigs. I would like to have a bulldozer also-May just be happy with a few old chainsaws and wood to cut... David------- Found a stihl MS 180 broke start rope--She said it ran-$30 -My 1st stihl

Someone has this on eBay, cheap, if it is anything except the small homelite mount then I can use it. What do you guys think the mount is? Is anyone familiar with this bar?

What's the total length. I'm not very familiar with the open tail mounts

Well judging by the slot it doesn't appear to be small homelite mount. they have a square cut out of the front of the slot

 

[brandonstc6]

I think I will try it for that price. It's $16 with shipping
