Yeah same tune rakers for the job at hand based on feedback from saw and chain as you say variables are many. Never heard of Macrorocarpas only native pines I've had experience with here is Hoop pine and Cypress pine. Have cut introduced Radiata pine and Slash pine dirty sap oozing crap lol

Yeah but most are stuck with only two settings soft or hard using a progressive raker gauge.. or even just one setting with some gauges.

The more I learn the less I know it's true lol One thing I keep up with and interests me is what you guys are up to with chain. I like the threads with you guy's experimenting and trying new things with chains. Nothing better than after spending many hrs moding a chain and trying it out and...

Yes bore cut fine ya use em the same as you would a sprocket nose bar. Yeah durability/reliability is why you run a hardnose bar you have removed a failure point (the sprocket). Also takes quite a bit more effort to bend a solid hard nose bar lol Speed wise I don't notice a difference...

Yeah I've locked up a few sprocket nose bars over the years in Stringy Bark is a pita I'm the same I can't tell the difference between the two types of bars once you get used to running hard nose bars is nothing wrong with them good hard working bars.

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find the testing specifications and make ya own tester. My understanding is all they do is press a steel ball bearing into timber measuring the force it takes.

Yeach with a Yeah with about 800 species of eucalypt who knows. Some dodgy seed collecting and selling went on also ya didn't always get what was promised. California is a prime example of this with some of the worst examples of Aussie hardwoods on the planet absolute terrible seed where ever...

Yeah I believe softer timbers are more forgiving when it comes to sharpening and mismatched cutter lengths with different set. Our native Cypress Pine is around the same janka hardness as White Oak which blows my mind yeah we don't have much in the way of speed wood lol

Actually I take that back appears Blue Gum is harder than White Oak any wonder you guys struggle with it lol

Yeah it's called SET left and right. Many can't grasp how inefficient a chain is with cutters all different lengths and it's not something you can get away with as the hardness of timber increases if an efficient chain is the goal. A short cutter does less work than a long cutter on a chain with...

Blue Gum is not a hard hardwood as far as Aussie hardwoods go. Take a rolled up foam mattress like White Oak well Blue Gum is way softer than that lol I've cut just about every Aussie hardwood species there is. Never in my 50years have I experienced an Aussie hardwood timber so hard it knocks...

That's slow as and the hard nose bar has nothing to do with it. The chain is lacking big time and as others have said is way over tight for a hard nose bar. Here's couple vids .404 RS hard nose bars in Aussie hardwoods. Makes me laugh when I read hard nose bars are for stumping or dirty timber...

Nothing Stihl oilers are so stingy I don't even bother putting oil in the tank anymore no point just adds weight 🙃

You guy's have cheap bar oil we don't lol Run big cc saws all day every day it would be stupid expensive if buying "bar oil" Is ok if ya don't run a saw much.. but if ya do you would have to have rocks in ya head paying the silly price's they want for bar oil down here. All this talk about bar...

The carb has a TPS and adjusts timming from what I can gather and a power jet with solenoid apparently it cuts fuel to the power jet up top for more over- rev. It's was easy to jet for my elevation.

Yeah very easy engine to setup the power delivery how you want. It only takes a few minutes to retard or advance timing and set power valves for soft or savage mid hit power band. I've got it all set on savage mid/top and plenty of over-rev lol

Done and dusted 2002 RM250... don't think I'll do any more 2T mx bikes for awhile is expensive and a pita finding parts for them with most parts being no longer available. Scored finding a nice stock pipe and muffler for it very hard to find now not destroyed. Anyways runs sweet after tuning and...
