2017 MMWS GTG Box Saw Build Off Poll

[Mastermind]

That was my point....hence why I should make the rules

Leave the fapping to the fappers.

As mentioned, timed builds from unpacking to cutting would be entertaining.

From a novice builder I'd say two approaches are needed;

1) parts that will more than likely fail and possibly destroy the saw should be swapped for good quality parts.

2) build the saws as they are supplied. If they fail, they fail. Fun to watch if it's not yours and keeps any sort of mods to a minimum. Bump compression too much and destroy a pin bearing. You get the point.

All I know is I'm not eager to build a saw knowing that a few weak internals could ruin my saw. I'd like to build one right, spend a few bucks just to give it somewhat of a life.

Does this saw in a box come with assembly instructions? In English?

 

[dall]

I'm cool with this......except the carbs. Even the AM bearings are ok with me.

I will never use an aftermarket wrist pin bearing again, seen one fail in less than 2 tanks

No box....
Just comes in a bag

 

[jmssaws]

What's in the box is a carb that don't work for chit, a chain adjuster that won't adjust, a wrist pin bearing that bound to fail, and a set of circlips that are soft as butter. You sure we should just use what's in the box?

I thought we already had that stuff minus the chain adjuster ok'd to switch?

 

[Deets066]

I really wanted to build mine enough so that IT WOULD blow up!

 

[jmssaws]

I have had a couple am wrist pin bearings fail in short order,along with the clutch and a few coils but it was the plug wire on 2 of the 3 coils.
Never had any problems with am crank bearings and seals.

for anyone interested, i'm planning on doing a bolt for bolt assembly vid on the 660 kit. i'm awaiting its arrival, and hope to have it done in a couple weeks....

I have some notes taken from the 660 thread, Walt, and MM now... so hopefully I can address that stuff in the vids



oh, and once I have it together... its off to jason for ...uh... fun :-D

 

[huskihl]

I'd like to be able to cut base and squish, as that's understood my many as a part of porting a worksaw.

 

[Deets066]

I'm down with the cross jug that will be in the box, I will probly switch the circlips, wrist pin and carb but that's it.

I'm gonna try to make the crappy carb work. Mayhaps I'll learn something...

It will work and run good at WFO but don't expect it to hold tune or idle

Any idea why?

Chinese junk???

 

[paragonbuilder]

Chinese junk???

Lol!

I just don't see why we can't figure out what's different than oem that makes them temperamental. It's hunk of aluminum with some holes drilled and a couple moving parts...
