First of all, excuse my English.
This is my first post
I am 42 years old and have already done work with an electric cable saw.
Unfortunately, my back is not exactly perfect having struggled as a young man.
I want to buy a small 30cc saw that weighs little (9lb) and I am undecided between these models:
Stihl ms 170
Stihl ms 180
Echo 310
Makita EA 3200 / Dolmar Ps 32
(If you have anything else to recommend with a good weight / power ratio, I listen to you).
I want to modify the muffler and carburetor if needed,
light porting and advance flywheel.
I would like to know which of these would give me the best results in percentage of power gain.
On the Dolmar / Makita I have some doubts because I don't see many spare parts (even aftermarket) ... maybe because Dolmar / Makita have decided not to make internal combustion engines anymore.
Finding a lot of aftermarket parts online would make me happy.
I'll probably just do muffler and carburation. Porting and advance modto such a small saw is difficult and not too effective for me, but I accept advice.
I have the house for sale and I hope to change it as soon as possible, trying to warm myself with wood in the next one.
The idea is to buy wood to be cut by making 100 quintals a year as a minimum (it all depends on the performance of the stove or fireplace) or to cut it directly by myself in nearby woods.
I had thought about buying a 50cc or a 40cc, but for some reason I feel an unstoppable desire to have one even earlier, small and cheap to play with its engine ...
for this I asked for a 30cc.
However, if you think it is an unnecessary expense, I am here to listen to you.
Now the money is very low, but when I sell the house, I will have the option to buy a real professional or semi-professional saw, this is not why I want to buy a small saw that is useless.
I leave the word to you.
