Just bought a new pair of Miller trailblazer welders, 225's, for a jobsite to weld on Halfen (dove tail slotted structural steel channel used for curtainwall strucural connections.
This was a busy site for me, had 25 ironworkers, half a dozen glaziers and (2) 50 ton RT type cranes (cherry picker type), one on each side of the building. We had recently fired a hired out installer and went completely in-house, to save the job, previous arrangement would have ended up a disaster. We also had 3 80'-0" JLG articulated lifts, 2 platform lifts to add to the line up as well.
With all the activity, 2 sides of a $200 million dollar courthouse building to watch, you had to be on your toes to keep all these guys rolling, the least little thing causing down time will cost big dollars in no time.
Jerry, a full ironworker journeyman filled one of the welding machines with diesel, I come around the corner in time to see the black smoke pouring out, and shut that one down, well was a friday, hooked er onto the crane, set er in my truck took er home and drained, flushed the tank, he earned the nickname "diesel" after that, then got himself fired by me for refusing to tie off when in the basket, after I recieved a nice @ss chewing from the CM/GC's super and safety guy, good welder, told him, maybe I'll bring you back on the next one, but they wanted soemone fired over this safety violation today on this job by you, (he did it right in front of them) and I said, "You're it!" With all the chaos, we're lucky that nothing else happened on that site.
Now I've filled the bar oil reservoir with gas and fuel reservoir with bar oil on my stihl ms 390 saw, but caught same prior to attempting to start it, just tip it over, flush both tanks and start over, only done this once so far though.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. 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
