It's totally chill to work your passion as long as your passion pays well enough to live a decent life. I think we've discussed this before actually. I enjoy cars and I love driving my GTO but I hate working on everything else. Youve gotta imagine having a super s*** day at the job you dream of and then bank on the fact that most of your days are going to be that bad. That's how I've been looking for a new job lol. One thing I've learned about being a mechanic is that I thought it was gonna be fun and I'd get to work on cool cars but I've learned that every car coming through the door is a whopping pile of s*** and they are not fun to work on. I know it makes me sound lazy (which I'm absolutely not) I'd like to have a job that pays well enough to afford having hobbies and doing what I want when I get home. Or something super easy so I still have energy when I get home haha!!

I agree with you 100%! I'm just at my wits end with this job, it was enjoyable at first until I started having to do work that I wasn't hired to do, and that's all I've been doing the last year, so naturally I need a change of pace.

One bar is going on a ms170 and the other is going on her ms230 with the easy start cause other wise she can't pull it over! And I must say we get along pretty well but I sure wouldn't try anything with a saw in her hand, she's a 4' 11" ball of fire!

I got some bad news today. One of my 056s has a SEM ignition and it is bad. So I tried two TS350 modules and they were bad too :/
So I guess I'll just put it back together and watch for a junk TS350 or 041
:/

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you if you keep yours crossed for me when I get my 70E back together and test the ignition again.

I think you have to use the flywheel also if you switch to a bosch you gotta use a flywheel for a bosch it sucks its no good the SEM modules are supposed to be the good ones

I bought a bosch module and a flywheel in a lot of parts on eBay. I was shocked the the SEM module was bad, but then again there has to have been a reason the saw was scrapped. That was the regular 056. The 056 super was missing the ignition, flywheel and recoil starter. Which I've collected the parts for. Also a scrap yard saw.

I've been thinking about a getting a carving bar for my 017. You will have to let me know which you like better.

Does either of those 056 use the same ignition as an 031

Sorry about that, didn't see that someone had already asked.

I think the bosch modules are the same as 041 ignitions.

Nice! What gauge chain are you running on it? Also, what model Poulan do I spy in the corner?
