Fitted a tank bag to ready the RD200 for a 100 mile Tiddler Tour In Connecticut this weekend...

Went for a break in ride on the recently acquired RZ, pulls cleanly from 4 to 10k plus! Now I understand why people want Toomey pipes, this has the full Toomey kit.

With Wade's guidance, I replaced the carb on my 20yo Craftsman chainsaw, then used it to battle a stump in my backyard.

The chainsaw had sat for probably 15 years, and the gas lines were fried. Once I replaced those (not easy), it still wouldn't run. Wade hipped me to the fact the fuel pump (?) diaphragm in the carb was probably fried too, so I ordered a new "genuine" Walbro carb off eBay.  Looks like Wade knows his sh!t, coz when I installed the new mixer, I found the crankcase was hydrolocked and full of fuel, also pointing to a failed diaphragm .

Once I pulled the plug, pumped it clear, and let it dry out, it fired up and ran like a champ.

I ended up attacking the remains of the stump with a maul and wedge.  Thankfully, the Stump Remover enzyme crystals (epsom salt) I hit it with last fall seem to have done their job, and I (with much effort, sweat and swearing) now have a hole in the ground instead of a stump.

I have a Eucalyptus Mitchelliana sapling to go in the hole, but thankfully won't need any more 2T power to complete the job.



...also, I did all this while wearing a 20yo Moto Carrera t-shirt, so there's that, too.

Pumper carbs will do some weird stuff when the diaphragm isn't working correctly. The best is that sometimes the diaphragm looks perfectly fine. Then you gotta stretch springs and set popoffs and what not, it's a bit of black art. Buying a new carb was probably the easiest way to go.

I have to look into those crystals. I have a few small stumps on my property that I tried to burn out and gave up before they were even below ground level. It just didn't work very well.

Yeah, rebuilding the fiddly bits of the carb was a nogo for me, since a new carb was only $35. I could have opted for a less than genuine carb for like $12, but thankfully Wade steered me clear of that bad decision.

I'm pretty sure the stump remover crystals are just epsom salt. 

Last Fall, I drilled a bunch of holes in the stump with a Hole Hawg and a long ship auger bit and filled them with hardware store "stump remover".  Like you, a couple weeks ago, I doused the stump is gasoline and built a fire over it with little to no effect.  Thankfully the portion of the stump below grade was significantly rotted, and it busted up pretty easy once I got my method down.
