    Tree felling video

    I couldn't see which forum this video should go in, so I put it here and if it needs to be moved I'd appreciate it. This is the best video I've seen on different felling cuts and WHY you make those cuts. Some clever tricks

    Gremlins

    Ever try to fix something that isn't broke? I was cutting with the 029 (64cc) noodling up some rounds. The engine decided it didn't want to rev over about 7,000 rpm. I pulled it out of the wood and revved it, same thing, 7,000 limiter, no misfiring or four-stroking, just loss of power. Finished...

    Hotter spark plug for 064

    I knew he'd be back. One of the locals had his 70th birthday and he asked me to fix his saw, an 064. I hate working on other people's equipment as they keep coming back. However, it was a birthday gift to him. Anyway, he decided he also wanted a de-comp on the 064, so I got a 92cc jug with the...

    Felling question

    I'm 71 and don't move as fast as I used to. I've got this tree I want to drop, a nice dried out gum tree about 36" in diameter, however the top branches are dried out and still up in the surrounding trees canopies. I figure if is start trying to wedge the bugger over, I may break off one of...

    Understanding Diaphragm Carburetors

    I had a private email asking about concepts relating to diaphragm carbs. I recommended reading this document - http://www.mikuni.com/pdf/sbn_manual.pdf It is the ONLY document I found that didn't contain heaps of errors. The Mikuni carb is more sophisticated that the diaphragm carbs we have on...

    Has anybody put a de-comp on a 064

    I've got a mate who just had his 70th birthday. He's kinda, like, 'noticed' that he can't start his saw like he used to. I was wondering if anyone has put a compression release on an 064. In the alternative, is there a coil, something like the 066 coil, that has a retard on starting? I...

    Chip Clearance, what is it?

    'Chip clearance' is a term that keeps getting batted around. So what is it? You get comments that it slows down the cutting. OK, why? Well, there are too many chips. So, why does that slow down the cutting - you know, the PHYSICS OF WHY it slows down the cutting. If any cutting should slow...

    Modifying a compression release

    I had set up my 029 with a 390 jug with a compression release. To make it a simple 'pull and go', I added a 066 coil with the 4 degree retard on starting. Everything worked just great, until I put in the new pop-up piston. Now the compression release will close too early. I have now ruined two...

    200T loops for a friend

    Last year I got laid up for a while with 3 major hospital visits and recuperation from surgery. My next door neighbor and his wife cut 5 loads of wood and came over and mowed my lawn three times - I never asked him to do it, he just showed up with the wood and mower. Good neighbors like that...

    Healing from wood cutting

    Here's something right out of 'Star Trek' with the doctor 'Bones' healing a patient with just his little light beam. I read about 'infrared therapy' and thought it was likely some sort of shonky hustle. I did a bunch of research, including medical articles, and it seemed positive - so I...

    Need advice Stihl 020 bar and chain

    My next door neighbor has been keeping me in firewood while I was out of commission with all the surgery this year. He lost his right arm at the shoulder from a felling incident and uses a Stihl 020 top handle for all of his cutting. I want to get him a new bar and chain as he adapted a solid...

    Carb tuning - nozzel placement

    Here's the best visual representation I've seen of the pressure differentials in the venturi of a carb. If you take a look at the diagrams you can see how moving the nozzle either further in or out will affect the 'signal' on the discharge nozzle...

    Engine cooling

    I decided to start this thread because of a 357 Randy was running that became 'heat soaked'. The power dropped right off, as it usually does when a two-stroke becomes hot. In fact, the difference on a dyno between a 'flash' reading when cold and a hot engine can be a 20% difference in power...

    Carlton narrow kerf chain

    I've got some Carlton narrow kerf chains I want to shorten. I believe the designation by Carlton is K1NK. I just had a local dealer tell me that he can't do it as he needs the Carlton joining links. He said that the rivet size was different. I don't think he's correct, but I'd thought I'd run...
