I'm slowly working through the trade-in project saw pile. I think this old 025 may have had a couple hours on her 😂...seals just don't crack apart like that regularly and the bearings are barely holding together! Cylinder actually looks very clean and would probably run again...but the seal separated completely, lost all impulse, and thus fuel so it shut itself down.

Something a little different and sentimental today. Grandpa Ed's old Echo tiller getting some TLC...we vibrated all the M4x12 fasteners out of the housing and the motor wanted to take off like a rocket! Same as a Mantis tiller but they didn't cheapen out and gave you 2 piston rings SMH!

Grandpa Ed may not be with us in the garden anymore but his tools and lessons still are.

Rob sent some video of his ported MS660 clone cutting on some nice walnut stump!

Making snacks and doing something a little different today that most shops won't even touch! Splitting cases and fully rebuilding the lower ends on two popular concrete saw models. I don't get my hands on many Huskies out here and never been in this deep. Concrete saws live a hard life of abrasive dust and vibration...by the time I see them there usually isn't much left!

Stihl TS420 late model on top, Husqvarna K760 Series II bottom. Which saw is better and why...I have my reasons?!? Same failure points time and time again...

Training my new bookkeeping...he gets distracted easily.

Shout-out to my awesome supportive wife Melissa O'Reilly who sought out this awesome pop-up desk so I could do taxes more easily (when kids go to bed...which appears to be the hardest part)!!!

I need to give a shout out to Scott at Bluesaws.com who has literally pulled his hair out fighting and tweaking MS361/G366s. I was completely unaware that Farmertec had recently improved the crappy air filtration replacing the base and baffle with a sealed design and better filter... what OEM should have been!

Hit Scott up for quick US based parts.

$33 shipped with two filters, pretty seamless install don't need to mess with carb just two 10mm nuts

Another one bites the dust after 2 months. No people...all oils are NOT the same and you absolutely CANNOT run water cooled marine 2 stroke oil in your chainsaw that operates at twice the RPM!!!

I only recommend Echo Red Armor 40:1 ratio. That's 3.2oz mixed with 1gallon of premium non-ethanol. It's red, no confusion about whether it's mixed. And it's a squeeze bottle so there's no confusion about whether you're supposed to mix it with 2 gallons or 1. I have watched people pour a single 1 gallon bottle into a 2.3 gallon can... know where your gallon marks actually are from the pump and pump a couple gallons into your vehicle first to flush all the ethanol out of pump.

I will likely be raising my prices to reflect new kit saw sales with a 16oz squeeze bottle of Echo Red Armor. If you want to run something else after the 90 day warranty period knock yourself out. My head hurts rant over...

Rob's ported MS660 build.

This is cylinder #2 after I discovered that the magnetic base had shifted on my gauge and I took way too much off and piston was striking the cylinder. New DRO ordered as enough is enough!!!

Have a waiting list of repairs and new kit builds. I am now asking for $250 down on time consuming ported builds and making WCS barkbox muffler covers standard to avoid confusion and steady pricing/performance.
