It is a done deal and if it were to snow enough to need a snow blower it is ready to at gas and go. Al

I believe it is time to fire up the snow blower get it good and warm and run the carb dry, pull the oil drain plug and let it drip for a good bit. Open up the impeller/auger gear case and clean all that old lube out and refill it. Reinstall the drain plug and add new oil for summer storage fog the cylinder and stick it in the back of the pole barn till next fall. Have seen 2 snakes on my walks with the pup, scared a Great Blue Heron out of the creek had flocks of Robins in the yard, Red Wing flock has returned to the pond next door and the peepers are raising a loud ruckus in the pond and creek. Deer are shedding and a Kil Deer was making a racket yesterday. Al

I've had my Johsonred 2150t since the first part of November so can now give my informed option on it.

Starting with the dealer, Not very good, saw was ran before I took delivery but started hard and wouldn't idle at all when I got it home. Ordered a screw just days after I got the saw and took it back for the hard start problem, they called and said the screw was in, it was the wrong one. I bought a screw from a different dealer that had it in stock but I'm still getting billed 3 months latter for the wrong one even after many phone calls to them.

Getting used to the 18" bar, found that if the bar gets pinched in even the slightest way the chain binds till I open up the chain track with a flat screw driver. A new good oregon bar will fix that problem.

Always wear a glove on your right hand. The exhust heats up the handle and your hand some thing awfull. I have made a sheild with a air gap with flashing to help keep the heat manageable.

Now the good stuff:: runs really well now that I have some hours on it and finally found the right person to tune the carb. Is really good on gasoline and bar oil usage. Seems like it cuts forever on one fill up. Starts good now too.

Lots of power cuts thru a 14" live Elm in nothing flat.
