On my 550xp, all it takes to get rid of the puter is a carb change... SO, if the day ever comes that the puter is a hassle, just buy a cheap non-puter carb and put it on.

SR

Better buy that cheap carb now and make sure it fits. They'll probably stop making those soon, too.:laughing:

Yea, i love the saw it's an absolute power house. I do have a home owner model husky for limb work though and it's a great saw too. But man that dolmar just screams.

And to stay somewhat on topic. A picture of tractor and wood from a ground clearing i made for a shed.

no the computer chip is made by the pope and he didn't want anyone working on Sunday. Gotta love Francis.

Good one!, and your getting warm, after church my son sleeps all afternoon, when he wakes up, doesn't lift a finger for anything except the smart phone or TV remote. I don't know if that MS 291 Stihl has that Auto tune chip or not, if it does it works good, might be because it's from Germen engineering, maybe from the same Germen engineers at Volkswagen.

Why not? Changing to a "non" puterized carb is too hard for them?? If that's the case, they can't fix the older saws either.

As for a hard starting or flooding 550xp, if MINE acted like that, it would go back to the dealer to be fixed under warr... Why would ANYONE put up with that?? My 550xp has non of these problems...

SR

My XP550 came with a 6 month BS warranty, I took it back twice to this small saw dealer, and both times I brought the saw out there, it started right up no problem, tried to explain about after using the saw for a while and then that's when the restart problem was really bad, then I get a lecture on, well this new saw has a starting procedure bla bla bla, I go back home and use the saw with this super duper starting method and it made no difference, still starts hard. One of these days when it acts up Ill take a Ford wrench to it or baptize it.

Continued From Post #1953

I was away, attending the sawmill EXPO in Cambridge Oh. for a few days, but today I got back at working on my deer blind!

First thing I did, was to saw a 9' log out of the big tree I skidded out, in the above picts., then moving/setting it on my BSM. It had some flare, but still, it's a nice log!

standard.jpg


AND I had a "helper" today, and that made things much easier! Anyway, after taking a slab and a couple flitches off, it was time for my helper to turn the log, I'm removing flitches to get down to the "targeted" 2x8's,

standard.jpg


In this pict., you can see that quite a big amount of flare came off with the slab,

standard.jpg


After a few more cuts/and turning, I was ready for one last turn so I could start taking a 2x8 and a 2x4 off with every pass!

standard.jpg


Both, the 4" and 8" wide cants fit back together so well, you can't even tell in the pict that, that's what I'm milling, getting one 2x8 and one 2x4 every pass!

standard.jpg


SO, now it's time to put all the flitches back on and edge them, this pict. shows two of them,

standard.jpg


With that done, I FINALLY have the log all milled! Here's the tally......one 2x6, one 2x9 and lot's of 2x4's and 8's!

standard.jpg


We then took the 2x8's over to the shop and cut them to the length I need to complete the roof boards for the blind,

standard.jpg


You can see in the pict. that two of them are 2x9's, that's to make up for a little "over hang" of the 2x8's on each gable end...

That's it for today,

SR
