    What! Really that's why there such dogs, were meant to cut grass and corn stalks with them not wood!

    So it wasn't wood dust on the saw I got. Maybe someone bought it at Sears, cut down their cornstalks for Halloween, then returned it. Hmm.

    Just got my dual port!! As was reported. No Cat!! And it has an extra hole in the baffle area! No screens and dual port should make this a much better candidate over stock.

    Although, I will still grind on this one a little! ;)

    What would be the symptoms of opening the muffler up too much. I would assume power loss, but what, if any, would be the deeper problems. So far I've stuck to the 85% rule, by eyeball only, however.

    Just got AC's and my earthquakes! They are oily and filled with gas shhh don't tell ups.. They look well made and have a lot of solid weight to them surprisingly! They look like one tree hit and return saws.
