Clint's Hybrid

[Mastermind]

There still fighting in brads thread, I told them that I liked pears and big women.

Dem big girls appreciate ya.

Old Mike would swim underwater, lock up and point at a Quail Unlimited release cage that had been sittin' in a woodpile gettin' the bird smell rained off it for two years, climb trees, jump through the glass window to kill a cat, and break himself out of the dog pound repeatedly once he was fed. He would tippy toe up the conduit up the side of the brick wall and jump over the barbed wire.

Mike Brown would wait when I teed up a practice golf ball and I'd nail it with a pitching wedge, catch it in the air, bring back and t it up. Sleep on my chest on the couch and fart at the Superbowl party Rams vs. Titans so terrible, it cleared the house. Mike stayed and slept and farted grown men went outside and froze.

He was famous for running off and walking the entire route with a mail carrier and come back when he'd get to our house.

Rep for Mike "Sumbitch" Brown.

One time I left Mike Brown in my '74 Power Wagon to sleep while I was in a friends house. We got carried away talking in there and I come out, All I see sticking out of my driver's side seat was a German Shorthaired Pointer's head. He made a slit and dug out the foam and got inside the slit so he could fart and share it with me later good boy thanks Mike.

The fact is, I've never been overly impressed by any hybrid I've done. Yeah, they seemed snappy, but compared to my 046s.....they were weak.

I want to like this but its hard for me. I have only ran ported saws from 4 people. You, Mike, Dan and my own. They are all a blast to run.

I suppose if i were exposed to as many as some on here id be diasapointed but I still giggle on a strong one. My 288 you did is Stihl my favorite. Thanks to all for the help.

I like 82 on it.

I do put bridges in em.

Not on anything smaller than the 044 though.



I wrote 81.........but I just checked my notes. It's at 82.

Fingers help?

 

[jmssaws]

I've not tried fingers in a bunch of different saws but the ones I have they gained several hundred rpm in the wood.

 

[Mastermind]

I used bridges and fingers in Brian's hybrid. He said it gained about 500 rpm in the cut.

 

[jmssaws]

Fingers make a crackle to the exhaust note that I like.

Excactly what I notice, bout 500 more rpm

I can't get a hybrid that I would want to go cut a load of wood with. Maybe running 8x8" it would be fun. I can get a 44 to nip the heels of them and the 46 will out pull them. They do handle well but in these hard woods a 34" bar was too much for it.

 

[jmssaws]

I hear there not that enjoyable to run.

 

[jake wells]

suprised you guys don't mess with the 441 even though they seem like a bigger pain in the ass compared to the 440
the carb box is mess to

They're fun with a short bar to me. I don't run short bars for firewood or dropping trees. A 28-34" is my regular bar for that. They just are too high strung for it.

I just did my last 441.

 

[jake wells]

biggest bar i run is 24'' but that is because most of the trees in the wood lot is pecker poles and it would be silly to use anything over 24''

I just did my last 441.

i put a carb kit in one that was enough for me. rather work on a 044,046.

 

[mdavlee]

I think a dose of the clap is probably better than working on a 441.

441 for me please!!!

 

[mdavlee]

441 for me please!!!

You haven't took one apart have you? I needed 2 buckets for the parts and could have ported a 372 and been testing it in the time I got that blasted carb box area apart and out of the way completely.

 

[jake wells]

the 441 is the mini mac of stihl.
