We would like to see ya in chat some night, almost always around every night shooting the crap or whatever gets in conversation...

Unfortunately almost all new saws are set very lean from the factory I have read so they can meet EPA standards.  Almost every new saw has to have the carbs set richer to run or run right.  We talked earlier shade and agreed, when you buy a new saw you should not have to mess with it to run.  If bought from a "good" saw shop they likely will do that for you, but Lowes wouldn't have a clue......

Yea I had thought of that, flat as heck here, mudholes...yes, hills, no, strictly for wife and I cruise on dirt roads here in the boonies lol, take care guys, maybe catch ya on a chat one night.

pretty sure the push rods work off the tappets that rest on the cam. no hydraulics in any honda that i know of ?.

nice !. just one concern i will tell you right now, if and when you put someone in that seat?, and you go to climb a steep hill?, you are begging for a bad time!, lol. there is a reason the safety stickers say '' no ridders ''..lol. but hey..its your's..you do as you wish.
