    I have an envelope full of stickers. A certain regular here named huskihl is responsible for that modification to my username. :rofl: :lol:

    Nothing screams powah saw more than Humpty Dumpty sitting on a golden terlit reading a book. Holy smokes.

    From my internet research the pic is of a statue stolen from an art fair in Wisconsin. Sculpture of Humpty Dumpty on a toilet stolen in Wisconsin

    I had no idea where John found the picture. I gave him full decision making over the sticker design.

    At first I searched golden egg toilet… nothing
    Then egg chitter… nothing
    After a searching a bunch of other bizarre keywords I was stumped. Took another look at the picture and after questioning many life choices that led me to this quest, it hit me like a Mack truck. That is Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty golden toilet. Bingo.

    I'm fresh out of poulans to build but this 260 pro will be looking for a new home. What you got to trade?

    I've tried several times to win a wild thing at the local online auction. People really like those. They are nuts what they bud them up to.

    There has to be an interesting backstory to the name on that sticker…

    You and me both. Now if we could only keep our saws in showroom condition whilst running a custom saw shop…

    So does the 260 saw progress. I put a bars n chains on it and it doesn't like any load. Acts like it's running out of fuel. Empties the purge bulb even. I'll adjust the metering lever to fuel more and try that. I suppose I could have went to far inside and the carb can't keep up now with the lever at factory height.

    Well fellas, I had enough of this pos saw. I gave it to the nephew before I use it for target practice. There must be something wrong with the carburetor that a new kit and cleaning hasn't remedied. Next saw I decide to tear into I'll share.
