Looks good. Don’t forget to get that choke rod behind the air filter when you tighten things down.
Sorta… just an old AS poster from back in the day. RS chain is very good. I run it when I have it.
If the new intake doesn’t work, verify linkages and then suspect the carb. A racing saw upon startup is almost always a carb issue if the fuel...
Look for a used Lopi, Avalon, or other quality EPA stove. Bigger is better for a basement setup. Those old Blaze Kings were awesome. I’d only...
That looks like an 80s “smoke dragon” style, yes. My parents have one and it’s a heater for sure. It goes through a lot of wood and doesn’t burn...
034/036/360 can be finicky to tune. Sometimes they act up despite perfect pressure/vac tests, etc. I sometimes find problems with tank vents and...

Air filter, air filter cover, carb (the compensating feature), sometimes the fuel line, sometimes the clutch drum and needle bearing, etc. Carb...
Yep, definitely worth tearing down and fixing. Even if that case is busted, it’s worth it. Avoid aftermarket handles (too weak) and chain...
Naa, keep looking through tax maps and ask the local town office. Unless you’re really remote, someone will help ya out.
Find the owners, ask for permission, be prepared to hear “no.” Good luck.
There’s hope, man. Smart people doing smart people things will bring back the American Chestnut.
Sweet!
Grab some nuts this fall. Let’s see what’s going on there by trying to get seedlings started. Keep looking for a big tree or two around. It’s...
Wow! Do you have sandy soil up there? There’s something going on for sure. See if you can find some chestnuts this fall and post some pics....
Yep, that filter is shot.
