Another chainsaw dyno...

I thought it was "mangina"??

Too many variables, need some more testing to be sure.

Not sure? Might induce friction loss...stopwatch territory

True. You gotta consider all the variables.

I agree to there's just way to many variables

 

[sawmikaze]

It varies from post-to post LOL!

When I take all the variables into account it seems thay way to me.

 

[P.M.P.]

Lots and lots of variables

 

[sawmikaze]

"Dik" and "Slacker" must be in the top three...

Not when you take into account there are all these variables on these posts. Need more posts to eliminate any variables.

What's wrong? Something with the hardware and OS, the connection, etc?
I am a systems engineer if I can help....

Really appreciate the offer.

Seems my serial port on the dyno box does not work. Even if I could get the printer to work I would be a happy camper.

Tried a normal cable, null cable. Box acts like nothing is plugged in.

Don't really want to poke around and fry the box either.

At what ratio?

Heading up this afternoon to see what this is all about. I hope I'm bringing enough variables.

Leave the variables.

I'm not a drinker, and the hose will be hooked to the dyno...

You are the authority on mangina testing.

 

[sawmikaze]

You are the authority on mangina testing.

It's because I do my best to eliminate any variables. And I understand how it can vary from gina to gina. Haven't I taught you anything over the years ?

thats a ridiculous comparison honestly, who wouldnt rather use a great modern saw instead of a giant heavy turd. im just saying if i had to choose a saw that i own to run a 36” 8 pin bar and chain, to buck up a bunch of logs, id grab my 394, not a five cube saw. i guess im just out in left field as far as that goes.

I gotta say I agree except switch 394 for 661. Most modern 5 cubes don't balance well with a 36" b&c.

I thought the idea behind the dyno was to completely eliminate the variables.. Now after 150 forum pages of opinion & speculation I've concluded there are just too many variables to eliminate, variables are like the Jhynah virus, they spread, multiply & pop up everywhere.

because some cant accept what the dyno says
but then again they think they are pros

Nice mob mentality going on here.
Love it.

I personally don’t use over a 28” bar on a 76cc saw for any long period of time, and yes the comparison is ridiculous. When I first modded my 461 and then bought a stock 661 the 461 would beat the 661 with the same 32’ bar and chain both 8pin. The 461 was more consistent and had a better torque curve, I was extremely disappointed with the 661! Once modded the 661 is now much faster, and fun to use. There are day’s I will run a Mac 125 36” bar, just for fun it’s dose well bucking, weights a ton and probably has less hp than my 461, Its just fun to run.

Number of variables:

Saw in wood = infinite

Dyno run = zero
