I put chain on 9 pin and started it. Clearances itself[emoji23]

That ran across my mind and then I reconsidered lol

I opened the top cover up a bit, seemed like a restrictive point. Added some more holes inside and opened the slats more. I also smoothed inside the intake horn casting. Can’t hurt and it was a free mod. I’ll post more pics of mods I did to the saw of when I put it together later. My internet is a little slow now.

I did something like that.


Current AF cover style with screen, the one without the screen is the old/original style

I finally got that issue sorted.


Come by over the weekend and test away!

To have Pre filters always seemed a smart idea to me.

I agree

Need better test wood, this is the best I could do for now with this small piece of box elder. Still a touch fat for break in.

 

[TreeLife]

Good runner. Lean that *b-word out a bit

9 pin seems a bit too much to me. Maybe try 8 pin?
I cut decent sized Box Elder a couple years back. Hard stuff.

Lol... actually Jeff it ran a 9 pin just fine. I was pushing pretty good the last cut. I wouldn’t run it for work with a 9, fine for play... but it needs at least a 8 for a 20” bar working imho.

 

[RI Chevy]

Thats what I thought. From my perspective here just looked like maybe an 8 pin would keep the saw a bit higher in the RPM power band and cut faster? I could see you leaning on it a bit. Maybe better off not leaning on the 9 pin and let the chain speed work to your advantage????

Just wanted to show the torque this thing has with the small wood I had available

 

[RI Chevy]

Oh, ok. We'll have to do some timed cuts next gtg with that Dolly. Lol.
Sounded good.

 

[TreeLife]

7 pin and 28" ftw

 

[T.Roller]

You need to lean that thing out. Sounded way way rich

Yup she was 13k, only 2nd tank since I built it so left it fat. Before the build it was liking tuned right on the limiter, so I’ll try that after it finishes the second tank.

Chop chop. Got mine tuned just about 1/8 turn after the limiter
