What i love is when you plug in scan tool and it says "no communication" and its bc a node has the hi speed can bus network down, so you get to diag which one of the 3 dozen nodes is pulling the line down, just so you can communicate with the vehicle with the scan tool

That's a beautiful 10-10! And that Saw will smoke a 450, just make sure your running a full skip square chisel chain!

Thank you!! I paid $20 for this saw from Facebook!!!! Had the original 16" "Mac 10" hard nose bar on it that was all wallowed out and looked like it had never been flipped or dressed. I put the 28" on it because I had it, bought a new drum and sprocket for it. Some fresh fuel and a little tuning and it runs mint. Need to turn the oiler back a bit though, it runs out of oil before gas lol.

I was absolutely ready for a job that at the end of the day i turn it off an go home and not take my job home with me

I do have the adapters and a pc program to watch all the communication streams and voltage and graphs, the adapter bypassed the module you think is down and keeps communication circuits intacted.

I was at an independent garage that worked on every make and model, so trying to keep everyones systems down was next to impossible. I didn't have the dealership support. Had a snap on modis scanner/scope, identifix, and
Mitchell pro-demand. I did the best i could but i was ready to be done.

Here here to all of this conversation! I know what that's like..... I wasn't interested in it any more, now I make flour lol

 

[s sidewall]

I hate Mitchell pro demand, hard to find what you are looking for, not laid out too well.

Good luck, roofing is always a joy to do regardless of the time of year. Hopefully you can start early, and the high won't be that bad.

Well I got to work on the Mac 250 again tonight. JB weld seemed to hold fuel so far. Will check again tomorrow and see if it is truly a success. I tried to get it started again, but it won't seem to pull fuel. Does anyone know where the needle valve lever is supposed to be oriented on the Tillotson HL carb's? Tore it apart, and the rubber seemed to be very good condition, but I feel that the lever may be low and not allowing enough fuel in.
The chain is back to the drawing board. Until I figure that out, it is not going to touch wood. Nobody can repair chain locally, so I will probably bite the bullet and order a new sprocket with the replaceable rims, that way I can run 3/8 instead of .404. Still thinking about the buying some bulk chain and a breaker/spinner. I know some of you guys have some, do you think it is a good investment, or should I just continue to deal with the internet and finding the right combo?

The high 90's plus high humidity, it'll be murder by noon. [emoji295] May get some [emoji299] tomorrow, so they say.

Sounds like the needle valve fulcrum is set too low, maybe raise it up til maybe flush with the housing.

As far as I'm concerned with breaker spinners if you are going to do a lot of chain then get a good one, honestly though, if I were you, I'd buy loops. I make chains all the time for wierd configurations of bars and saws and it's nice but it doesn't really save anything unless you are going to be making chains for years and years to come

Oh I also helped out the neighbor today. Pine is a sticky mess to split, especially with the knots. Love the double bit and hats off to Buckin for the splitting technique of flicking the axe. My hands are pretty sore now lol. I like splitting firewood with saws much better.

Got a little saw time in yesterday, rain today glad I got it in!
