Around here in North Idaho, we have Cotton Wood Trees. They are kind of rare anymore, and like it in the swamps, and I mean swamp! They are a very hard, fibrous wood (make the BEST trailer decking ever!!!) Couple years ago, we had a very bad wind storm, and that broke the tops off of 3 or 4 of them that we have on the property, leaving 40 or 50 foot poles, with no branches or anything, just a BIG log!
Well, it came time to start cleaning up, and it had been about 2 weeks since the storm. I chose the first one to cut down and IMMEDIATELY after sinking the chain into it, water started RUNNING out the tree! No joke, it looked like there was a small sink fixture inside this tree!!! My legs were soaked from the chain pulling / throwing water and chips onto them. Keep in mind, this stuff cuts weird, so along with normal chips, it also saws out a lot of dust like material, which flies really well when it is soaking wet!!! :P
What a freaking mess! By the time I cut those 4 down, I could have gone swimming!!!
Sorry for the long story, but it just goes to show that some types of tress hold a LOT of water!!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
