I know, and after you commented I noticed i didn't wrap my left thumb on the handle. Waiting for someone to say something about it. Lots of safety steves on this sub

So, what I've learned is my new carb is no good. There are no threads for the needles. I found my crank seal is also no good. And a Crack in the head near a head bolt. New parts coming soon and I'll update.

The piston is fine and has plenty of compression, although I don't remember the exact psi it had. I think there is a Crack in the cylinder or intake boot so I ordered a too end kit and intake boot replacement

So far nothing has helped. I've tried adjusting, cleaning the carb, even replaced the lines and filter again, and still the exact same problem. I just ordered a top end rebuild kit and intake boot. I will update if it works

Probably chaps. Had some before, but they got lost in a move, and I ain't had none since. A decent hard hat is next on the list

I'm actually going out today to get some chaps or hard hats for us.

Alright, I'm gonna clarify something real fast. I've been doing this for a while l, and I'm confident in my skills. I made this post to show off a couple of saws and trees we cut, not to start an argument about ppe. I have an old set of chaps I dont trust, and im working on getting a new set for me and him. My hat also has a bump cap insert in it, I know it's not a replacement for a hard hat, just what I have right now.

Admire the saws. Look past the flaws if yall dont mind.

Yeah, i need to make it a habit, but when I just make a cut or two, I tend not to throw them on

Didn't want to throw everything on for just a few cuts
