wood dust in the carb hard on the saw?

We don’t have it down here I don't think?... But one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of is how a lot of you guys send ya oil in for testing!
What's wrong with just changing ya oil at whatever set intervals? and forget about it... You know like the world has done in vehicles for the last 100 years?..
Send ya oil in for testing for what? What a waste of money! They just cashing in on you insecure worry warts lol

This is how I sleep having never ever in my 50 years sent oil out for testing

Commercial fleets, on and offroad, have been testing oil for decades.
Its usually done as part of an extended drain program. It's also a good way to catch issues before they become catastrophic.

Not talking about commercial fleets. Am talking about personal vehicles (homeowners) sending oil out for testing! Hands down one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of

50? You don't look a day over 70.

If you're trying to use extended drains you should.

Or instead of wasting money on "testing" oil use that money to actully change the oil! Yeah I know mind blown!

Some guys see a savings from doing it.
Its also pretty cheap to get a UOA.

I actually had some oil test sample kits sent to my house for free, it only costs money if you actually send them in.
I have some equipment that gets very little use that goes a few years between oil changes. I've never had any problems, but always curious what an oil analysis would say with extremely low hours and extended time intervals.
I have yet to send one in though, I always forget when I change the oil.

Not uncommon at all for guys running diesels like my PSD 7.3 liter. Good way to find problems early on.

Of course, it's also not too uncommon to get a million miles out of a 7.3 liter PSD. Maybe not so dumb after all!

Life's to short to be worrying and fussing about made up imaginary things is a waste of energy.
That energy would be better served and more beneficial focused elsewhere in life.

And that would be what exactly?
So you are not only an autistic weirdo, and a pervert, but you're paranoid too.

If I were autistic, I would not be ashamed of it, any more than I would be ashamed of my eye color. It is genetically determined, so it is not a matter to be ashamed of or proud of. Some autistics are functionally disabled. Others, such as Elon Musk, have done very well for themselves. It is a spectrum, not a single point.

 

[Hermio]

I don't denigrate you because you right articles. I'm just not impressed by it.
I won't even address the rest of that emotional wreck of a post.
On one hand you make perverted comments and then in the next you talk about God. Typical hypocrit.

If you call me a hypocrite, you may want to read Luke 18:13 and ponder its meaning.

You might read

Ephesians 5:3-17.​

Some are functional like Musk, no doubt. However the world views you as weirdos of varying degrees and for good reason.

My post implied that you are the one who needs that reading. But I should not have posted it. It was a reaction top one of your stupid posts, but I deleted it within 10 seconds of posting it. Frankly, I wonder how you remain employed, since you seem to be on high alert for any reply to your posts, and you seem to post dozens of times each day across multiple threads. It seems you do not stay focused on your job as much as you should.

If being an obnoxious jerk like you is normal, I would rather be a weirdo.

This isn't exactly on topic...but I think more saws may get killed by sawdust packed into the cooling fins than from sucking into the carb. Like this poor soul that I'm working on resurrecting.
