Thank you sir. Yes painfully so I’m afraid

Offers?

Here’s something to consider. Here we have a 24” Oregon powercut bar weighed next to a Stihl 28” es light. Both are 3/8 .050 gauge.

Welp… just read this after my previous post lol! Glad you bought a tach to use. Always good to know for sure 👍🏻

I’ll tell ya. I use saws in a production felling environment. We’ve used the 462c. I really like how it self adjusts. It’s a high strung saw. I like manual carb saws as well. No trouble for me to tune one. We put many board feet on a 462c before something happened with the communication of the...

They are equipped with the same oiler but there’s a pin beside the oiler control bolt that you punch in to achieve adjustability to the max range and it oils fine then. Another vote for the 462 here. We run both 24 and 28’s on them and they do well. Especially for the weight.

I’m just not sure how much to grind off the piston ramp to achieve the right stroke. Then getting it smooth enough that it doesn’t wear the control bolt. Easier just to swap the piston. I’ve already swapped the control bolt but still need more oil

I guess I should mention that what I use a saw for is felling and topping and limbing. Not a firewood feller. Cutting oak, hickory, poplar, maple, walnut, ash, etc. (Logging) so all the stump activities (face cuts, boring, back barring, sectional cutting, etc). And I guess doing all those...

Looking for the “R” version or “high output” piston pump for the oiler on a 460. Part number 1128-647-0602 Thank you much!

Thanks for all the input! Believe I’ve decided on 7-pin for the forgiveness and better for the saw standpoint. And also the fact that the chain will be running on the bar at a faster speed and the oil pump still pumping the same rate with the 8-pin.

Of course skip isn’t as smooth as full especially when boring but if you put a little twist pressure on the handlebar it pretty much eliminates the jumping.

Thanks for posting this! I was thinking of doing the same test and I figured someone else already had I just hadn’t seen it!

Well lemme ask this. What about .325 chain on a saw like I mentioned in the OP. I’ve been hearing some buzz about 325 on larger saws with 28”+ bars… what’s all that about??

Say a feller has a good running 70-80cc saw. Cutting hardwoods. Running 28” bar. In terms of cutting speed. Would he be better off running a: 1.skip chain with an 8 pin rim 2. Skip chain with a 7 pin rim 3. Full comp chain with 7 pin rim 4. Full comp chain with 8 pin rim And when I say good...

The trouble with running an oil like that in a standard outboard is a typical outboard max rpm is 5500-6000 and run around 160° F hot. Over time you would be building up a lot of carbon. But a short run with it probably won’t hurt anything. I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed the ammonia smell...
