ALRIGHT guys, I know I'm not alone on quality issues here. I currently have 3 ,saws done by J. This thread will be for anybody that has issues with his saws. Post pics of carnage, jerry rigging and resolution of these saws.
I bought my 064 from John here and a big shout out to him and the other people who have been in touch ( y'all know who you are) it really brightens the situation knowing that people here to help and I wish I could help more sometimes.
I sent the saw to J last year and he performed his magic and even did a thread on it, I only ran it one tank and this saw was a one owner saw and was a great example of a 064.
It allegedly had a "Minty" piston installed. It was also in his top 5 strongest saws, the saw went to CT for a goth and was ran by a few members here and Dan did some comparisons with a couple other saws as well.
It returns to me and I was floored with how strong it was!! Tuned it to 13.8 with a hard 4 stroke. Always ran a 32:1 mix in it. If it was a different brand of oil it was re-tuned. After a bit I was advised that it could be tuned to around 14.2 for work. I tuned it to 14.0 and it still was rich so I left it between 13.8 and 14k
Saw always a runner and will not deny it, any of his saws I have are runners. ( pulling a couple jugs of to send out)
So Friday I cut with it and it was fine, hit a piece of metal and was done for the day, Saturday I swapped a chain started it was warming it up like I always done and SNAP.
Hear some rattling and feel it is locked up, pull the muffler and find this, sorry about quality but you get the picture lol
So this is where I'm at with the saw. With some great members on here I possibly have a few parts needed to get back up and running.
