044 build

[Chainsaw Jim]

Vince (of In-vince-able worksaws) dropped up today with a 10mm 044 he had worked his voodoo on for me.
Absolutely great saw to run,tons of lowdown grunt in a lightweight package.
My new favorite saw (next to my mastermind 241cm)

Where's the video of it?

 

[RI Chevy]

I was going to ask the same question. lol

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

It did not like factory timing one bit... so much so that it wasn't even worth recording.
In the after video I have .010 filed off the key so I decided that I'd give it a run with .020 filed off and it was even better.
I wouldn't compare the cut time from this to cuts before since for one this cut was through a section of knots and I was damn near sitting on it compared to before... and the whole hitting a rock thing. My apologies to Dave.

Now I have to get to filing on this poor chain.
I thought I did a better job cleaning that log off. I guess I'm gonna have to strip all the bark from now on.

 

[Heffalump]

Cuts like a light sabre!!!

F--k that rock. If it didn't want to get cut it should have moved the heIl out of the way.

i have enough trouble getting photos to upload let alone videos

 

[Brewz]

Very nice.

I liked how you sat it on the log for the second cut then looked at it to see if it still had a chain on the bar

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

It may as well have been a bare bar. Lol

 

[Heffalump]

If you haven't sharpened it yet, I can bring my Timberline down this weekend. We can see how well that does on saving a rocked-out Stihl chain.

 

[Frank bierce]

Very nice Jim!! That thing spits some chips!!

 

[jmssaws]

Some Stihls like 030 or 040 off the key.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'll be trying out a few more keys when I replace the fuel line tomorrow. As weak as it was at the factory timing I'm thinking it may still want more.

 

[jmssaws]

I've had 064s past the key but every saw is different

 

[Heffalump]

Mrs Heffalump and I will be there Saturday afternoon.

Exciting!!

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

See you when you get here Dave. I took care of your chain and it's ready to cut. It wasn't all that bad. I did get achance to give the 394/066 hybrid the final port work and back together this evening, so we'll probably get to see it cut too.

 

[Heffalump]

I'll have Don's 026 with me. Maybe we can have a race.....

 

[psuiewalsh]

I am gathering parts for a 440 build. I picked up hd18b carb that seems to be for an 029. It seems to fit on the fuel tank. Is it jetted different than a hd16 or 17 for a 440?

 

[Heffalump]

Dropped off Don's 026 and a Poulan with @Chainsaw Jim . More importantly, picked up my 044.

This is a beast! We got it up to about 16K before it started going lean, so we tuned it out to 15K. It breezed through that cant like it was nothing. Phenomenal job Jim!!!!!

A shame the 066/394 wasn't ready. Wish we could have stayed longer. Got back to Hillsboro just in time to pick up the dogs from the boarder.

Definitely gonna be cutting this week. I have some area to clear for apple trees and a deer feeder....

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'm really glad you got back in time to pick your dogs up.
I swear I saw a brief look of fear on your wife's face when you first revved it up. lol
Remember it's tuned for 32:1!

 

[Heffalump]

Noted.

I retune every batch of new fuel I mix....and pretty much every time I cut.....
