Hey.....what about B'Day T's :)

Dealer was emphatic that mixed gas will kill your CAT converter. He's probably talking from their perspective of all the machines that come through the shop with questionable fuel ,then what to do with it after draining the tanks & refilling fresh............ Steve

What about making a set of covers for the big dawgs ? You could take a couple of thin pcs. of plywood with a couple of washers sandwiched between as spacers (slightly thinner than the dawg), run a couple of strategically placed through bolts & nuts to fall between teeth of the dawgs. Can be a...

It's my understanding he has many "irons in the fire" and is not doing much saw work at the moment, but this was garnered through a "recent" customer (6mos. ago), so who knows ? Steve

I inquired at my local dealer & they are out :( Guess I'll have to dig for a parts saw to get going :cry: Steve

It's never a bad or misguided idea to try to learn new things, you'll appreciate that knowledge gained when it comes to other fixes !! I'd get her tuned with a carb kit & fresh fuel then a compression check before a ring job though. Steve

That right there is the key ! Brian seems to have disappeared from all the saw modding sites, I think he got tired of being "jumped on" for some of his ideas/opinions . I for one would surely appreciate his return !! Steve

What makes you think it is in need of rings or top end ? Did you pull the muffler off & check for scoring ? By the looks & sounds of your vid I'd be checking out the carb (kit & clean), then a good re-tune. Sounded "fat" & out of tune to me :roll: Steve
