Just got my 30$ JonCutter G5800.
First impressions:
- all bolts and screws were tight
- stop switch and choke handle fittings need re-engineering. High risk of loosing one when air filter cover removed
- generally speaking Zenoah has been reasonably good chainsaw and this one is a decent copy of it. Quality of assembly has been ok.
- unit had +160psi compression straight out of the box
- squish is enough. 1.6mm
- alignment of H, L and T screws adjusting holes is perfect. So is that rubber grommet.
- instruction manual is good. First time weekend warrior may even stay alive if he/she follows the manual.
- base gasket compressed thickness is maybe 0.6mm so 1mm squish is where we get without a lathe or higher crown piston
- carb (BIG DIN T brand) is very restrictive I guess. Very small venturi.
Just wondering if deleting base gasket right away or maybe some use first...
It seems to have 3/8 rim sprocket. All my chains and bars are 0.325 so 325 8T is way to go for this torque monster
I'm sure it has the same guts as this 70.00 one i got off Amazon
A good muffler mod and it ran very good
I did take the base gasket out
But i could tell any difference.
It came with a .325 7t setup and did just fine
I gave it to my brother he uses it all the time
I might adjust the timing when i get a chance.
