Taking a big jump for my shop

A friend I met this year was mentally full of vim and vigor. But after triple bypass surgery and quite a number of other complications. He just ain't got IT anymore.
He had bought a brand new 271 just before his medical maladys. He could barely carry it . And he and his wife combined could not start it.
He is vertically challenged. And more bull headed than maybe anyone I know. Well , maybe 2nd after my wife.
He got a little 135 Husky late this past summer . He can start it !! If the bull head would have READ THE BOOK !! He could have started it Much Sooner
So far he and his wife have cut a couple cord of wood with it. Totally fried the bar it came with. If I threw the bar in my woodstove on a 40 below day it wouldn't look or work much worse.
Last time I saw it I told him to buy a new bar.
Why people want to live off grid in Alaska when the are totally lacking in skills is beyond me.
BUT, he's learnin.

I would let him use my ms193. But I seriously doubt he can start it. And I don't really want that saw destroyed. I like it.

 

Last year Brainerd had a Bunch of colder temps than we did here. I've got a friend there that thot it was neat that he had colder temps than I did.
I didn't tell him that was a competition I would gladly let him win !

 

Thank you. A dealer in Fairbanks doesn't stock them . If I have to order a saw. You might as well get the business.

 

6x10 10 or the 9x16 deckover. We're covered.

 

Do not worry the same people who leave the saw sit for years and cannot figure out why it won't start will figure out how to ruin a battery saw also I have full confidence in that !! and as to starting aids I do not horse over the old Homelites of mine anymore Super 1050,1130G,3100G, I just squirt some fuel in carb so they start on one pull for me . I had a customer bring in a saw he said would not start he tried a whole can of "starting Aid" he said it would start on the Starting Aid then quit, finally he said it won't even start, he put new fuel on top of the glue that was left in the tank from when he last used it 4 years ago his comment was "I put stabilizer in it" needless to say the ether did its job You cannot fix stupid JB

 

Hello, thats the most important thing to do. And have happy customers, When you have fix their saws and they are satesfied, they Will by more stuff from you. And tell everyone that you do a really good jobb. And that Will give you more customers. Fast and good quality and fare price. Is a win win for you and customers.

 

Hello, how is business going in your shop? Havent beard anything for 9 month.

 

Sorry I have been way busy with sawmill and shop I have not been on here for a while sales are ok not as much as expected but service is very busy with all the crazy costs here, fuel ,and pretty much everything else more are fixing than buying new
Thanks for asking JB

 

Glad you gave an update. Enjoyed watching the start up of your business. Good luck. When I get ready for a big cc saw I'll get in touch.

 

Keep up the good work! And Good luck for you and your business!! Prices are horable in Sweden too. Gasoline 7,50 $ one gallon. Diesel is 8$ for one gallon. But It Will become worse. Electric is around 0,50 dollars kWh.

 

Thanks for the reply !! Christmas will be here soon Time to make some Hints??? JB

 

Yeah it always seems to get worse they seem to run the prices way up then lower them back down so people think they are better but they are always twice what they were before JB
