    Took out 3 blowdowns at my place today, All Austrian Pine. one leaner & one "hanger". Was a nice day out Mid 30's & a little snow. Blocked them up & stacked for shoulder season. Not much, maybe 1/2 cord. Only bummer was my ported 026 didn't start well, got it fired & made a few cuts, it ran good, then stalled. Tuned it & still had to pour a little mix down it's throat. Finally just grabbed the stock 026 to finish up due to time.

    Yep, Hillbilly cable skidder.:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: Works better than you might think too. It'll skid 3-4 decent size logs very nicely.

    Try swapping air filters. The one in the ported 026 may not be sealing

    Nvm. Just read where you had it running and tuned. Might need a new fuel line and filter. Maybe impulse hose too

    Yea, that was kinda my thought. When running it sounded good, but it would not restart cold. I got it to fire outside once, but it stalled & didn't restart. Just grabbed the other one. One the other hand, that 036 lit on the third pull & ran like scalded dog. Bit overkill for 12-14" Pine though.:thumbs::thumbs:

    Yep I like the winch setup. Gas powered. Good job getting them leaners out of the way.
