Long as you find em accordingly ur set. Just don't blow ur saw up running to lean with muffler flow changes. Don't forget fuel reburn from pullback either.
Yeah it’s important to set them properly but also to be careful with who’s running it. I won’t run a saw that’s tuned a bit hot or that’s ported dull. Turns to much heat and will damage p and c if your forcing a full chain on a saw like that
My buddy had that exact welder and it did good on 1/4 inch or thicker but couldn’t get it to run great on thinner metal unless I hooked up the tig, which I also wasn’t a fan of since it was a scratch start. Miller and Lincoln is where its at…
Been getting it better with the thinner stuff but yeah, you nailed it. Thicker stuff welds great! Traded a millermatic 251 from 2004 we bought new. Thought it was a good deal at the time haha
@@timberandtools just go get you a cheap Lincoln from Home Depot for light stuff. Makes it a little more convenient too if you have .035 or .040 wire in the snapon and .025 in the lincoln. Instead of changing spools and tips. I have a lincoln 180 and a 140 set up differently for mig and a separate tig setup with argon for my stainless and aluminum. Since big box stores sell em now, makes it a lot easier(cheaper) to do.👍🏻👍🏻
The 250 is next best thing to a 241. What is the intake like on that 250, is there a baffle and paper air filter like the pro saws? Sthil’s paper air filter has that plastic piece that the bolts to the carb and holds the air filter. Aftermarket foam air filters get rid of that restriction. The power difference can be as much as opening the exhaust up, it’s crazy how much more power is there opening up the intake and exhaust. I worked at a shop that had one of those snapy welders. Everyone hated it so the shop owner bought a fancy Lincoln and two Hobart 240’s(?), whatever their big MIG was. The two Hobart’s were a great fit for that shop! The Lincoln was mostly for the owner. The snapy welder was traded for steaks for all the employees.
Not sure about the air filter set up didn’t even have the back over off haha!! The 250 is a nice little saw for sure. I’m so disappointed about the welder. My dad had basically the same snap on welder in the late 90s. I learned to weld on that and it was awesome we all loved it. Lost it to a shop fire or else we would still have it I’m sure. Think that it’s getting sold lol
@@timberandtools I picked up an Esab EMP 210 from Northern Tool and it does great! The digital controls are super simple. Some people have a hard time tying to adjust the amps/feed if they’re going out of normal parameters, it’s actually pretty easy for someone who has ever used a smart phone and can read the simple instructions in the manual. lol There’s adjustments welding thick and thin material. I haven’t tried the TIG yet, just MIG and stick.
Shoot !! Thanks for letting me know for some reason this happened on another video I have it set low when I edited it but people commented about one other video being the same way
Correct, available at your local dealer…the front “hole” is the full square. Then do the screwdriver tweaks to the cover plate and you’re done. On one of mine, I used a punch to reach in and make the baffle holes, angled towards the exit, much like the cover plate louver trick. Makes it super simple. 👍
