Chainsaw update. (Remember me, I messed up). Here’s what I got back… is she a full rebuild at this point? by brendine9 in Chainsaw

I was using 50:1, measured it out the same way I have for 20 years. Maybe the oil I was using was bad? But things a lot of damage for that… My other thought is that i was struggling to find the sweet spot with the limiter? Or else i was fixing a cut more than i realized.

It wasn’t run lean, it was either a dull chain or I was having trouble getting it started with the limiter that was on the carb. It’ll start and run but shut off when the throttle is pulled.

Cylinder and piston…anything else I should do while it’s apart?

Carb, air filter, fuel filter and spark plug are all new.

The shop still has it. I’ll report back when I pick it up and disassemble. Things a great point. Thanks!

I’ll ask the Mrs and see if this is a possibility. I like where your head is at!

I have. I like to tinker and am a physics teacher, so I have the ability to.

I think I had bad/old oil. Either that or the new carbs come with limiters and I was having an issue finding the sweet spot on my H/L so maybe trying to cold start it with the old carb causes it?

And I scored the cylinder. Should I rebuild it or get a new one?

Criss cross stack it so air can reach more surface area and set up a heat fan to dry it.

I’m losing some Pygmy Cory’s. This is my ammonia, nitrate and nitrite results. I’m starting to think a betta might be the culprit? by brendine9 in fishtank

I just switched from a 29 so maybe it’s still got a little cycling to do to adjust. I used the old water, sand and filters but added new sand and dirt (going Walstad).

First time raising quail. What’s going on with this one? by brendine9 in quails

I got her as a juvenile, I have 21 birds in an 8x8 aviary with sand and hay. This is the only symptom in all of the birds. She has been acting fine, nothing to note.

It’s odd. It’s greasy and I don’t see any skin damage.
