Okay then.

I got the chainsaw running last night (finally!). After all the parts I've got into it, it's practically brand new. All new top end (Big bore jug & piston, wrist pin/bearing) and new carb.

Was taking out a snag today and got the bar pinched... used the axe to break off the rest of the branch that was hanging it up... and ruined the bar FML. Put a nice gouge in the bar groove. I'd try using a rail closer, but I don't have one, so I guess either it's time to make a deal with the devil to get a new bar, or beg/borrow/steal a rail closer. Ugh, I swear I can never get 2 solid hours of use out of that thing! Oh well.
