Something a little off the usual topic.

Well The sun was out so I took the saw and worked with it emptying a tank of fuel, a 25/1 rich oil mix. I didn't expect to much with this mix except I knew the smoke would blow
This saw is a keeper!! it's more than I expected from a Chinese product. This saw is 1/4 the cost of a Stihl of equal displacement. but it performs as well as my 8000 Echo I had with the same bar and chain.
When it gets broke in it will cut a lot of slabs from the logs I have
with my milling attachment.

When I first got it setup and pulled on the starting cord and pulled and pulled I thought what am I getting into with this thing, but putting in a good spark plug and priming the carb with the spark plug out was the right thing to do. Now the cold engine pops off with the third pull. I get a pop with full choke on the second pull and choke halve off it starts. Warm today it started on the first pull every time.
But at 30 pounds plus it weighs, my back hurts
