It won’t turn over 13.5k I’d bet money on that.
Someone will make it I'd bet money on that
Why?It won’t turn over 13.5k I’d bet money on that.
Ah I see. Makes sense.Almost every new saw from the big 2 has limited high speed rpm by the use of a limited coil of sorts. It’s for durability, no load rpm beats on the bottom end. In the wood bar buried most saws will never reach the limit of there coil. Especially a large saw that is used for cutting big wood.
Just like some cars have a fuel limiter and some have a spark limiter. When you see a car stage at the drag strip and flames are coming out of the exhaust, that means the engine has a spark limiter. If you've ever driven a car that hits the rev limiter and then dies back a bit, then revs up again, etc. that is a fuel limiter and it won't let you "bang against the redline" so to speak. Most likely someone thought the 3120 would have a lot of issues if it could bang against the coil limiter rather than the fuel limit like it has now.Ah I see. Makes sense.
Makes you wonder why they didn’t just use a limited coil in the original 3120 instead of just eliminating the high jet.

Rocking the saw will kill the cut time as you're not only removing teeth from the wood, but you're also recutting some. So when cutting straight through you just adjust the downward pressure based in the engine load, push too hard and hear the engine load too much slightly lift and vice versa. This way cut time are repeatable, fast and accurate.[emoji111]I should mention this... I’m not talking the showboating cut style with no hand pressure on the handle, dull chain and the saw screaming. Usually done at a gtg cutting cookies. That’s not cutting wood. That just makes more dust. Lol
Wasn’t referring at all to cut times, more so the type showing 12-13k on a tach in the wood but no hands on handlebar lol. I usually show both a non rocking technique like you mention and a rocking technique with the spikes in tests between saws to show a normal cut and one loaded a bit more. But cool, good advice for racing cut times for sure. I guess some people have difficulty pushing on a saw in some situations so they use the dawgs when making felling or difficult bucking cuts? I know I do in some situations. That’s another “technique” that’s required sometimes.Rocking the saw will kill the cut time as you're not only removing teeth from the wood, but you're also recutting some.

Why?
The 395 does 12.5 so why can’t another 1000 rpm be achieved with a new design?
Ah I see. Makes sense.

Disagree on the EPA, but it is probably cheaper with the one carb between models. My Challenger SRT8 with a six speed had a fuel cut instead of a spark limiter, definitely wasn't about price or EPA.EPA, cheaper to make, and one carb for both 3120xp and 3120K.
