I suspect that you have not had trouble with the side loading of the saw motor. I thought that I had seen these things somewhere...I'm glad that my memory isn't too far gone <g>. I bought some specia

My 1987 pickup seems to have a vacuum leak. I have heard of ways to find a leak such as spraying starting fluid onto the hoses. When the engine races, the leak has been found. Unfortunately, this lea
