WHAT????

 

[Beetlejuice]

My neighbor came down and told me I was going to burn a valve.. Hmmmm

 

[s sidewall]

WHAT????

Put a small deflector on the outlet, just enough to point toward the handle, don't want too much heat going to your hand.

My neighbor came down and told me I was going to burn a valve.. Hmmmm

Not with straight pipes, unless they are 3" long. Sounds like he is jealous.

No I talked with the lady about it and to say in the least we were on different planets about price lol. She probably sold it locally but I can’t be sure.

I do have a couple packages coming in today off a trade deal with old boomer. [emoji4]

Was that a 275 in Oregon? the one that was lightweight from all the rot.

Completely feel you. Bought a fuel line for my ms361 at the tune of $16 or so some time ago. Installed it, and promptly pinched the bugger. It didn't break the line, but definitely compromised it. I'm still pretty salty about that loss. I'm not looking forward to when I have to buy the carb boot for my ms361 over spring break, as I know the quality of the huztl part is what is causing my issues, and I want to get that saw running reliable. The air filter for the 361 is like $24 or so also! Stihl sure thinks pretty highly of their parts, but then again, their flip caps are like $4 each. Hardly worth the effort to order an aftermarket one at that price lol.

I won't say quite what my upcoming build is, but I know it will be a fun one. I'll share more when I go back for spring break in about two weeks.

Can we guess?

The cost of air filters bites, Echos run $20-$25 each. My cheapest is my Dolmar 6100, $13.
