Chainsaw Repair

Here's the best new kept secret I found that my Husky dealer is selling, 95 octane fuel mix. Made my 125 blower and the 550XP's run better then they ever did on premium gas with Stihl Ultra mix.

very cool!  great set up, mr. holmen.

just one question.....  what in the world are you blowing at -40?  snow?

I was blowing the snow off my stage and the sawdust off  after the competition

Understand that on the cold and testing.  Have chains to sharpen for folks myself. 

Heck I waved the white flag on other stuff.  Pay The Man I thought.  I'm having to take one of my 2 breakdowns in for a fix tomorrow. Just to freaking cold for me crawling under car.  Will try and finish the other one Sat when suppose to get in the 30's F I hope . It just seems never ending right now. heater resistor module, then water pump then alternator. Then other one trans line gave up the ghost  ( its going in being my only fix is redneck).   Have to drop transfercase and trans 3/4 way down to get to the 2 lines.

Well in 4 days time it's 2015's turn to stage our chainsaw events once again here in northern Manitoba.
Still having the 550XP supplied saws, but something different this year .....8"x8" spruce.

Lots of pics Holmen.

Hey guys, sorry for the late update. The event went good even though it was -50 below with a strong windchill out of the northwest.
We set up early and the wind chill was brutal, was going to call it off but a good crowd of competitors showed up and said "let's do it". Only 2 carvers showed up and they carved for the whole day.
 Had to pull start my Yamaha 3000 generator for the 1st time as the battery didn't have enough jam, even had 5-30 synthetic in the engine.

I'm just trying to round up some photos as my photographer didn't show up until almost towards the end, I was too busy and forgot about takong pics.

But with all the cold and all those two little Husqvarna 550's ran perfect for the whole day. Couldn't believe how well those little saws ran. No heated carbs ,just the pre heaters kits installed. We were cutting 8"x8" spruce and those saws looked pretty impressive
