Building guitar’s to planting peas, you are a man of many talents. Enjoyed.

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for watching & commenting James!

[@MrSeadawg123]

And he makes great youtube videos!!

[@redclayfarmer7992]

Great video.. my great uncle used to sawmill wood in his barn.

[@derek7837]

If you have electronic ignition on that motor then it could be going out causing the skipping. When the ignition gets hot it's causing intermediate firing to the spark plugs causing it to skip and miss

[@PatrickShivers]

The problem is definitely electronic and related to fuel. I have replaced coils, plugs, and sensors, made no difference.

Great content Patrick!

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks Rob!

I can;t draw a straight line if I used two rulers. Wish I had your talent

[@PatrickShivers]

😂We all have different talents.

I’d try changing fuel lines they could be vapor locking when it warms up. After that I’d clean or replace the carburetor. If it’s fuel injected could be bad injector. And yeah when comes down to it WM is no help at all. Did your mill come out of Newnan Georgia?

[@PatrickShivers]

Yes it came from Newnan. I just got it back from certified Kohler technician. Hopefully it runs better now. Just replaced the computer.

You can do a lot of work with one of those mills. Wood Mizer is one of the best on the market.

[@PatrickShivers]

Emphasis on the word “Work.” Saw milling is a lot of work. When customers want 19’ long by 2” thick oak boards for their trailer floors I consider telling them I don’t saw anymore. 😂. Green 2” thick oak boards that are trailer length are well over 100 pounds each. I think Wood Mizer is the best brand.

[@colefletcher-ox7xd]

Can you get another engine and put on that sawmill?

[@PatrickShivers]

$3200

[@colefletcher-ox7xd]

@@PatrickShivers that's expensive

[@PatrickShivers]

Howdy Tug! Good to hear from you!

[@TheCarhartt1]

I’d check coils for the skipping

[@PatrickShivers]

I’ve replaced both coils and plugs. No change.

[@TheCarhartt1]

@@PatrickShivers I’m not a fan of kohler engines myself had 1 blow on a zero turn with 30 hrs but I see the black smoke it may be carb issues or running rich

[@PatrickShivers]

@@TheCarhartt1 it’s got EFI. I’ve replaced the EFI since video….no change. I have now replaced every part of the fuel & electric systems except the main computer. It is on order now.

Tele bodies!

[@PatrickShivers]

Upcoming video I am making a hollow body tele and a Les Paul

[@SHfarms]

I hear that if you keep pushing that thing like that it’ll make your children born naked 😂. Ended up replacing the carburetor on mine. Acted similar to yours. Judging by how much smoke it’s putting out 2:33 highly possible its fuel related.

[@PatrickShivers]

It’s electronic/fuel related. When under a load it starts sending to much fuel and won’t stop until it has been cut off and cooled down. I’ve replaced sensor, coil, and plugs.

[@SHfarms]

@@PatrickShivers is it a fuel injected or carbureted?

[@PatrickShivers]

@@SHfarms injected

[@SHfarms]

@@PatrickShivers O2 sensor would be a suspect. But if you’ve changed it already. Not sure if those engines have a knock sensor but that or an engine temp sensor giving incorrect readings could cause that. If it’s air cooled engine probably has a oil temp sensor instead of coolant temp

[@normscustomsawingllc]

i got tired watching ya push the saw head....

[@PatrickShivers]

I’m tired just thinking about it. It hasn’t traveled forward on it’s on in years, but it travels back just fine 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@normscustomsawingllc]

@@PatrickShivers just reverse the wires...lol...

[@Speedboar]

Looking forward to the guitar building videos.

[@PatrickShivers]

It should be out in next few days.
