Out in the yard on a mulch bed, that's hard core! I lose too many screws if I don't have a workbench to lay everything out. Even a sheet of plywood on a couple sawhorses will work in a pinch, with a couple plastic containers to hold small parts. :)

Thanks Eddie. My Stihl dealer told me the same thing today. I went and checked on the carb price for Stephen and they quoted me the same $100 price Stephen got in Cali.

Yeah, I forgot about the catalytic converter mufflers as well. If you're running those things stock, full out, they will burn up. I'd be doing some muffler work on any new piece of equipment I bought before it ever got put into service. You HAVE to find a way to open the muffler a little to...

Are the Cali carbs different than other states? I don't know if the Cali standards are more stringent than the other 49, requiring a different, leaner carb. IMO the operator (or the equipment owner if he's within earshot) should usually be able to tell if a machine is running too lean. This is...
