Youre not anywhere near the rev limiter. Too much ignition timing. I can hear it in the cut, cackling. If it's one of those goofy gear head offset keys, take it out and use your original flywheel key. With a pair of calipers, only remove .015 off the key. Make sure the gas is fresh stuff, 90...

Those g8010's have been a great general purpose, affordable boot.

Those replacements they sent made it up North. Its fall time nowadays, so might be limited on the days I can cut in them as most mornings im going for insulated boots. 2lbs 5 oz per boot. So 4 onces lighter per boot over the old G8100. Interesting tread over old discontinued pair:

I literally said that if you cant wear them because of your ankle issues that I understand. Why keep repeating yourself? I dont know how flat or steep your terrain is but I live in the steep stuff. My timber sale for white spruce saw logs through the State of Alaska is on the tallest hill from...

Nother observation on most of these boots regarding lack of false tounge: I wish logger boot manufacturers that dont include a false toungue would think otherwise. Most of these boots only include false toungue that is nothing more than ornament or a decoration. Couple weeks ago i was wearing...

That's a bit short sighted. These are loggers boots and when cutting trees on steep or muddy terrain, the heel profile is there for a reason. They aren't the ideal boots for hard pack or construction or ankle problems. The height-difference of a loggers heel directly compared to a low heel...

True that! The going rate for a used 8000 or 800 is $400. I guess some of the ebay sellers didnt get the memo though. Whats surprising about the saw, is how much they respond to basic mods. The stroke of that 81cc takes care of the rest. They run completely different than 70 cc fodder. Even...

Hey pal, this is upsetting and not a fair shake. I could start that Stihl in 1 pull. Why are you watching you neighbor "always yanking on it"? "Even while it's hot" That's kinda creepy.

No sir, review bots mustve plagiarized my home depot review:

Also, echo commercial are crass, juvenile and not funny. No wonder stihl and husqy outsell them:

Yeah stay away from echo. One time I bought a 590 timberwolf from home depot. I didn't know what a carburetor was. I pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled. POS wouldn't start. My irratable bowl syndrome kicked in and I sht all over myself right before my date...

I never changed the upper transfers on mine and love the way it runs with 28" and 36" bars in bar-length wood, using LGX, EXL and Xcut chain. Im $560 total into it with 2 bars and chains. Im sure there's more speed in it.

Good posts fellas. Coupla more little weird observations on all these $200 boots: When I'm hiking cable, chokers and my Lewis winch down into a gully, most of a logger heel is sunken into the foliage and muck. Also, lace-to-toe boots actually do a little better hiking weight down steep...

Yep it works fine. CS 800p or the CS 8000 isn't a real valuable or competitive saw compared to the stihls and husqs. So makes a great candidate for a woodsporting home job. .040 thou squish, slightly widening/raising the exauhst port a sliver still gives about 160 psi. Ignition timing advance...

No problem: Start from page 1 of this thread and follow along if you'd like.
