Duane PA 026

[Duane(Pa)]

Like a dick, I switched two things at once (chain & carb/filter).

I want to try it with the 18 x .325 that I ran the other day. Apples to apples

Well this chain kinda sucks. Doesn't self feed very well.

Switched ole Chucky over to the WT-194 firewood setup. Tach hit 15,010
It would need richened up some to cut a load of firewood, but I only made a few cookies with this tune.

That don’t sound too good. Needs fuel. Also, soundin higher that 15 to me, by ear.

I’d love to see it cut vs the 260 I did for you. Especially with the 194 carb on Chucky.

Takes fuel to make power

Right. I'm in that camp for sure. Shoulda had the screwdriver wit me. The chain plain sucked. I knew it the second I set it on the log. Sure wish I would have used the other setup. (now I have to work too much to get any play time) I debated even putting up the vids. It is what it is.

Had a gander just to be sure I didn't wreck anything.

It's a MOFO! Nuff said. No worries. [emoji106]

I took Charles out for a romp in the red oak today. He's all refined, polite & mannerly wearing his 194. He did good, so I got him a slice of pie...

Nice Duane. Mine took about 12 to 15 tanks to really break in and loosen up.
Are you liking 3/8 or .325 better?
Are you liking the WT194 carb or the 044 setup better?
Also try both chains with a 16 inch bar. I found they all cut a little differently.
I would have to say for speed, 3/8 16" bar square file worked best for me.
For working, I like the 18" .325 the best.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

The plan is to run 16" x 3/8 square. I had that on the saw the other day, but it was a poor chain. This was just to compare to the setup I was running with the 044 carb. I will keep messing around, just has to cool off some now. We hit 94 here today
It's a ripper, but the bigger carb gets more work done quicker...

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool! Keep the vids coming.

Nice Duane. Mine took about 12 to 15 tanks to really break in.

I have only scratched the surface. Might be on third or fourth tank? I need to just go cut a few truck loads of firewood instead of filming different combos n stuff. After it cools off some of course.

Very true Duane. It does take a lot of time to do videos and upload them.
I went out and worked my 026 cutting lots of wood. I was using the 026 for about 85% of my work. Very fuel efficient and strong. Fun to run.
Now I gots a few more I gotta throw in the mix. Lol
I have to break in my MOFO 261cm. That is a fun saw to run too. Fuel tank seems much smaller. Pulls hard though.

Nice Duane!
I think the .325 was faster. Cool.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I had a chain fresh off the grinder and some play time today. Been a long wet summer.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Chain was self feeding lol

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Won moar

Nice Duane. How did you have it set up? Which carb?
