Likewise Dickhead. I’m looking for a carb. Not a speech on how rad $50/litre special gas is. You have helped 0% here.

Thanks for figuring it out for me

What would happen if you were to flip it and put it on top of leafs? Would it still not fit?

I used to cut about the same amount with the same fuel you do on and off over the years. But always seem to have had to rebuild the carb in the spring after a heavy use season. And it’s been that way since day 1. No matter what preventative measures I use to store it. My buddies 290 of the same...

I’ll be damned if I have to buy special fuel for any saw I ever own. I run 91 octane and Stihl oil. Buddies 290 as do the dozen or so loggers I know have no problems with pump gas. This saw has given me grief from day 1 almost. 3 trips under warranty to the dealer and all they would do is carb...

Negative. Found a used one and kits. No new. And I won’t buy anything off eBay ever again anyways. Been f’d too many times and shipping always is way too much.

One of the adjustment screws broke off in my Stihl MS270 saw so I took it to the local Stihl dealer and 5 weeks later after hearing nothing I enquired and they said they were on it. 3 days later they call saying it was ready. Picked it up and got it home and found they had sharpened the chain...

I’ve been in from the east a half dozen times with no issues or signage saying I couldn’t since the gate was put in. But always turned around at the bridge.

For some reason Komatsu seems to like to place the most common pieces that fail in a place that requires disassembly of half the machine. Especially in cab parts. Changing a joystick in a Cat is much more easy than in a 375 komatsu for instance. You might be ok with yours as it’s a bit older...

If you keep a record in that fancy book in your glove box, use the proper oil and filter and keep the receipts for them and do the service as scheduled they can’t deny warranty.

And having to work on them. I fn hate Komatsu dozers. Most ignorant things I’ve ever touched. At least the newer ones are.

Mine get wet but more from the inside out than outside in because my feet sweat like crazy. The boots aren’t very good though. I don’t recommend fxr to anyone.

Turbos seem to be the biggest issue in our 6.7 fleet. And sensors. Lots of electrical issues too compared to our pre ‘18 models. Transmissions also don’t seem to last but that’s more of an operator/operating condition issue.

We’re talking cat stuff right?

Re: To all the broke d*cks who can't afford a diesel one tone. Usually yes. The fleet trucks we buy for the mine I bet cost more than if they just went to the lot and bought a base F-350 XL 1 ton. The ones we get have just am/fm radio, manual crank windows, manual door locks, manual...
