Good to hear from some of the ones I use to know many years ago. Yes I remember being on CHR forum in my 50's and thinking why older ones would still want to work on cars. Now I know and wish I had done more when I was younger. Johnboy, interesting story.. Sounds like you been around chain saws for a few years and know your business. I started cutting when I was 15 and really never had many accidents until that one happened. I once had a 2 man mercury chain saw that weight over 100 lbs. and those old ones were gear driven with the horsepower doing the job, but they were a beast to work with and unless you had a good man with the knowledge on working with one, that saw would take you to the ground quicker than shi-.


I have a question on a 3 carb set up. Years ago I rebuilt 3 Rochester carbs and put them on a manifold that held the 3 carbs but fitted over a intake with a 4 barrel carb. It was going to go on a 283 chevy small block but it never happened. I always wonder as I still have it what expectations I would have gotten from a set up like that. I would assume that it probably would be a thing for show only and would be down power wise as you really had the center carb over the 4 barrel intake with the outer 2 barrels more or less just for show. Just wonder how much power you would lose.
