Sawmills and Milling / Re: Did something dumb today.

Last post by Old Greenhorn - Today at 12:39:28 PM

Doc, I have the same issue, makes me nuts. This is particularly true on my craftsman riding mower. That filter never fills. Also a long line and if the line is empty, cranking the engine does not cause enough vacuum to fill that line. So when it sits for 6 weeks if I try to start it, I just run the battery down. But at full engine RPM it draws up fine. So I just take an irrigation syringe and blast a shot of gas in the carb, it starts and runs and draws fuel and usually once will do it, sometimes 2 times is needed.
But that dang filter never ever fills. It's a mystery.

With the bends that trunk had it it I assume it was leaning? Do you expect stress in the wood. Is the pith centered? I am curious to hear how well it saws.

Chainsaws / Re: Two stroke oil ratio's- Sa...

Last post by Keepfixin - Today at 12:25:19 PM

I have to do a edit on the first post. The ratio I've used was 64:1 instead of 75:1. BTW I dont use the 100:1 mix!!! Just mixed it for visual purposes and then added more oil! The reason for 64:1 is because you measure an even 2 ounces of oil and was easy to figure and measure out. But that's only with Amsoil Saber I do that with!!!!!! Run it in my leaf blower, 026, 034 super, 036, and 044. Will run it in my ms260, ms290/390, and ms 440 after break in with the "orange" bottle stihl oil :-) hey if anyone has pictures of mixed fuel in a small glass jar it would be neat to compare. I know the oil subject is touchy but think it would be beneficial to actually see the oil ratio and possibly educate eyes to the right color so they don't accidentally use fuel that's too lean.

I hate the clearish fuel filters. I stare at it only appearing 1/3rd full and wonder why all the air does not get out. It runs fine. I recently had to replace rotten fuel line. about 6 feet with the power chain. It had a yellow color imparted to the gas, so I flushed it out. I spent about 5 minutes with a little cup and fuel line on each end to get the air out. I put it in line and remembered the long line to the tank was not primed and full of air. Not worth getting the smell of gas on my hands, but I may try again. I may clamp the bottom of the line to the tank and try again. Why? I do not know. It just seems it should be full of fuel.
