Hello Hopper, love your vids, got to play and tear down a 500i for the first time pretty expressed. The way the injection work and just dumps in the cylinder is pretty cool. The boot is only responsible for air intake is why I think the timing # work in that thing. Never thought a computer would run a saw. From what I understand to check spark in those you have to use a in line checker, something to do with pressure without the sparkplug in the computer won't let the coil fire off. Would love to go to your Hopper stock, but I'm about as far out west as you can get, and my money is always funny.😮 you and the nation have a great day. God Bless you and all yours to all.
Yessirree...she's a GOODEN' man them thangs run AWESOME without porting! I've never had the chance to run one...but we got one at the shop to the tune of about $1600.00...but maybe one day I can justify buying one...but in the mean time I got too many saws and projects now!😂 anywho...preciate the videos. And I can't imagine trying to film everything that I do..cause when I go to work...I'm KNEE DEEP into whatever I'm doing! So can't imagine fooling around with a camera...so I Completely understand Hopper. Hope to see you or should I say ALL YALL at Dubbs in May!

Quote from New Life newsletter: Fear of Mistakes Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13 One sure way to avoid mistakes is to avoid taking action. But in the long run, avoiding action would be the biggest mistake of all, for nothing would ever get done. If you’re going to move forward, you’re going to make some wrong turns along the way. Don’t let that stop you from proceeding. There will be many times when you’ll look back and wish you had done things differently. Don’t let that stop you from moving forward. Mistakes are bad enough on their own. Don’t be so afraid of them that you avoid life itself. Every mistake you’ve ever made is now in the past. The way to move ahead is to leave them there. Learn from where you went wrong, then step confidently and positively forward. For now is your time to live and to act. Father in heaven, some of us have made mistakes and the fear of making them again can keep us from trying. We don’t want to live our lives like deer in headlights, too afraid to choose right or left that we freeze. Help us today to set aside fear, seek Your guidance and make good chooses. In Jesus name, AMEN! The only person who never makes a mistake is the person who never does anything.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Proven Priorities For where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also. Matthew 6:21 What are your true priorities? Take a look around and you’ll clearly see. The reality of your life is a result of the priorities you’ve chosen. Consider where those priorities have brought you. Yes, of course there are many factors beyond your control. Even so, the way you respond to life’s ups and downs is what determines where you go. Your priorities are not necessarily what you say they are. Your priorities are best evidenced by the way you live, moment by moment, day by day. If you’re pleased with where those priorities have brought you, then you’ll surely want to hold on to them. If you know that things could be better, a positive change in your priorities will reliably get you there. Either way, your priorities are yours to choose at any moment by the actions you take. And the way you choose to live them can make all the difference in the world. Father in heaven, we ask for Your help to not just talk the talk but walk the walk. Help us to live in action what we proclaim to be our priorities. Help us to put You first in everything we do, let our work, the way we treat others and all we do reflect You! In Jesus name, AMEN! The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Responding Right A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, but harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1 A positive response is always the most powerful one. For a positive response puts you firmly in control. When you encounter anger, respond with love. And you’ll make the anger almost impossible to sustain. When you come up against frustration, respond with patience. And the frustration will grow weaker with each passing moment. In the face of dismay, respond with kindness. And the light you shine will chase the darkness away. When you’re faced with challenge, respond with gratitude. And in that challenge, you’ll uncover immense opportunity. No matter what life may hand you, there is always a positive response. Choose that positive response and put yourself on the winning side. Father in heaven, today we are learning just how important how we respond is. Throughout our varied days there will no doubt be a multitude of things we need to respond to, emails, phone calls, a bad driver on the road, etc. The question is how will we respond? Will we escalate or deescalate? Encourage or tear down? Help us to be prayerful in all our responses today we pray. In Jesus name, AMEN! To respond is positive, to react is negative.
Quote from New Life newsletter: A Reason to be Thankful I will praise the name of God with song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30 The more you appreciate something, the more valuable it becomes. By being truly and actively thankful, you actually increase and expand the reasons you have for being thankful. Sometimes it is difficult to find anything for which to be thankful. Yet it is precisely at such times that a genuine sense of thankfulness will do the most good. When the world looks bleak, being thankful may seem to be naive, wishful thinking. The reality, though, is that thankfulness is a powerful, positive strategy that can immediately change things for the better. When you can think of no reason to be thankful, it pays to look more closely until you do indeed find a reason. For even the smallest positive thing can begin to change your world in a big way. If you focus on what is going wrong, on the problems, those problems will consume your energy and they will grow stronger. Instead, give some energy and grateful attention to what is right, no matter how small it may be, and it will surely grow. Look for reasons to be thankful. And you will find a treasure of real, lasting value. Father in heaven, help us as we begin our day to go throughout it with thankful hearts! While this day will surely have its ups and downs, there is nearly an unending list of things for us to be grateful for. We praise You for Your goodness, faithfulness, and new mercies every day! We are grateful for our homes, families and a brand-new day in which to enjoy. In Jesus name, AMEN! The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find in every hour some heavenly blessings.
Quote from New Life newsletter: The First Step The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, and He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. Psalm 37:23 Progress is made in steps. Be willing to take enough steps, and you can get wherever you want. Imagine walking to a destination that is one mile away. The first step doesn’t seem to take you very far, though if you keep going you’ll be there in half an hour. When working toward a goal, the intermediate steps may seem tedious and unfulfilling. Yet in reality, they are the very essence of fulfillment. That fulfillment will be realized when the steps are all taken. Keep going, and the achievement will be yours. Whether the goal is modest or highly ambitious, taking sure and steady steps will get you there. When you’re willing to take the necessary steps, there is no limit to where you can go. Though the goal may seem distant, the pathway is not. The first step is right in front of you. Father in heaven, teach us today to think in steps. Thank You that You direct our steps, not just our destinations. Forgive us for getting so focused on the end goal, that we overlook the steps in front of us. No matter if we are on the first step or the last step today or anywhere in between, help us to walk faithfully, and work wholeheartedly for You we pray. In Jesus name, AMEN! The secret to making progress, is getting started.
Quote from New Life newsletter: You Can Make a Difference! But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Whether the day is gray or whether it is sunny, you can make a difference. If others support you or if they conspire to stand in your way, you can make a difference. If you have plenty of resources available to you or if you have very few, you can make a difference. If momentum is on your side or if it is not, you can make a difference. You can wait and hope for things to go your way. Or you can get busy and make it happen. You can complain that life has been terribly unfair. Or you can move ahead anyway and achieve what you intend, no matter what the obstacles may be. You can plead with others to give you a break. Or you can go ahead and forge your own path to success. Wherever you may be, whatever may have happened, you can make a positive difference. Live with commitment, decide to move forward no matter what, and you will. Father in heaven, we are grateful that how our day goes isn’t dependent on the weather. No matter how our day has started, or what talents we may or may not have, we can make a difference! Instead of complaining, help us to complete the tasks You have set before us. We don’t want to merely make it to the end of the day, we want to use the entire day for Your glory! In Jesus name, AMEN! If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Take Responsibility For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible]. Galatians 6:5 When you have the power to cause a certain situation, you also have the power to change it for the better. Though responsibility is a serious commitment, it is by no means a burden. Because the more responsibility you assume, the more control you will have over your own life. Is it fair to have to take responsibility for things that are not your fault? No, yet when you do, you’ve put in place the best strategy for moving forward. The alternative to taking responsibility is to allow yourself to be a victim. Though you may take comfort in blaming your troubles on others, by doing so you lose the power to put those troubles behind you. The choice of taking responsibility always comes down to this. Do you want to be a victim, or do you want to be in control? Step forward and take responsibility. That’s the way to take positive, powerful control. Father in heaven, we ask for Your help to be responsible. We realize this day is indeed a gift! Help us to treat it as such and be good stewards with it. Help us not to blame, but instead take responsibility for what we can do to help others today. In Jesus name, AMEN! You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Quote from New Life newsletter: The Choice is Yours Let us choose for ourselves that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good. Job 34:4 You can choose to curse this moment, or you can choose instead to see the possibilities that it offers. You can choose to stay in the shadows, or you can choose instead to move into the surrounding light. You can choose to make excuses for failure, or you can choose instead to put forth the real effort that brings success. You can choose to blame others for holding you back, or you can choose to encourage them steadily forward with you. You can choose to be annoyed by events or you can choose to be inspired. You can choose to be dismayed or you can choose to be determined. You can choose to fill your heart with resentment for the things that have not gone your way. Or you can choose to be filled with a level of gratitude that will bring true abundance to life. Whatever it is that may come your way, you can choose how to live it. Father in heaven, though there are a myriad of things that will happen today beyond our control, we are grateful that we always have a choice to make. Help us to make God honoring choices all throughout the day. We will choose to seek Your way and Your will and make choices that are in line with You, not just what we feel like in the moment. In Jesus name, AMEN! Decisions determine destiny.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Small but Mighty And look at the ships. Even though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman determines. James 3:4 Little things can make a big difference. Enough of them can truly change the world. A genuine smile is a little thing and requires almost no effort. Yet it can make a big difference to the person who receives it. A small kindness or word of encouragement is a little thing. Yet just think of how much brighter your outlook would be if you were to give or receive several each day. Little things can quickly combine together to have a big impact. And little things are within the reach of anyone who decides to make them happen. Even the most magnificent achievements are the result of lots of little efforts and small successes, all working in the same direction. Big, valuable and substantial things are created when you’re committed to getting all the necessary little things done. As each moment goes by, fill it with positive, productive, and joyful little things. They’ll soon add up to something big. Father in heaven, we thank You today that You are the God of both the big and the small! Help us not to take for granted the impact of doing something small. Keep us ever mindful that even a simple smile can change someone’s day. Help us to find someone in need of a small act of kindness, or a small word of encouragement. Use our small moments to be seeds that You can use to change someone’s entire trajectory today we pray. In Jesus name, AMEN! Small things make a big difference, it only takes a small pin to burst a big balloon.
Quote from New Life newsletter: The Time is Now He who watches the wind [waiting for all conditions to be perfect] will not sow [seed], and he who looks at the clouds will not reap [a harvest]. Ecclesiastes 11:4 Time is neither your servant nor your oppressor. It is your workplace. The passing of time can bring you down or lift you up. It all depends on how you make use of that time. Time always comes to you packaged as now. To make full use of time, you must make full use of now. If you put your efforts off until later, time will keep the fruits of those efforts always out of your reach. Yet when you let your efforts fill the time of now, time will deliver great rewards as it flows along. With time on your side, any dream can become real, any goal can be reached. The time you have to work with is now, and in now is the seed for the best you can imagine. Plant that seed of achievement and real fulfillment now. And time will bear its magnificent fruit. Father in heaven, we ask for Your help to see time, not as a thief, but as a gift from You! Guide us to steward that time well instead of wasting it by giving into laziness. Help us to get to work and use this gift, these precious next 24 hours well we pray. In Jesus name, AMEN! All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given you.
Hi mr bellhopper sir was needing a little of your knowledge. I am doing a 365 x torq bearings and seals. I have been supplied skf bearings but they seem to be sealed as in you can't see the actual bearings but have been told I can remove the seals or use them as they are . I myself was thinking of removing the seals on the inside side to aid lubrication from the 2 stroke charge. What would be your advice sir
I have a husqvarna 365 xtorq I'm having an issue with I can start it 1 time and as long as I hold the throttle it stays running and when I let off it dies and won't start back up until it cools off i had to put a new cylinder and piston on it along with new carburetor filter and plug
Doubly Good As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day]. Genesis 50:20 Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. Heal a strained relationship and not only do you lose an enemy, you also gain a friend. Turn a weakness into a strength, and not only are you no longer held back by the weakness, you are pushed forward by the strength. The weaknesses, liabilities, nuisances and troubles are no cause for despair. They are assets, conveniences, joys and riches waiting to be manifested through your efforts. Don’t seek to merely get rid of the negative things in your life. Instead, transform them into something of real positive value. Father in heaven, thank You that You are in the business of not only negating a negative, but redeeming even the bad things in our lives. Not only did You bring Joseph through his trials, but You used them for good. In the same way, we ask for Your help to bring a double blessing out of the most difficult areas of our lives. Help us share Your love and lead a loved one to You in moments of hardship, to take an area of weakness and let Your power shine through! In Jesus name, AMEN! Turning a negative into a positive is an expressway to success.
Got A BIG Problem? The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard about it, and all the [Gentile] nations around us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God. Nehemiah 6:15-16 The obstacles are almost never as big or imposing as you first imagine them to be. The moment you start to work past each one, it begins to diminish in size. As long as you’re merely contemplating them, challenges can take on seemingly infinite and insurmountable proportions. As soon as you begin to work on them with God’s strength, those same challenges suddenly become more manageable. Simply by relying on God and taking the first step to solve a problem, you will see change. The way to cut a big problem down to size is to get busy working through it. Each step brings you closer to the point where you can move completely beyond the difficult challenge. The biggest problems can often lead to the most valuable opportunities. And your effort is what will make that happen. Father in heaven, we are thankful for the example of Nehemiah and the wall. How daunting the task must have seemed, broken walls, burned gates and enemies all around jeering. Yet Nehemiah broke down the job into parts and got right to work. As our faces differ, so do the problems before us. We ask that You help us as You did Nehemiah, to take the task head on, get to work and refuse to be distracted by others till we succeed. In Jesus name, AMEN! How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
