oh boy a fun little quiz

[jacob j.]

I only got one wrong having spent many years in a dealership, but many of those questions are wrong. The average modern saw sold with a 16" bar does not have an output of 3 S.A.E. horsepower and the coil questions actually date back to the days of breaker points. Modern coils don't necessarily have a truly defined primary and secondary coil structure.

The quiz was probably put together by a non native English speaker the way they used screwed up terms and descriptions. A lot of incorrect info and just seemed to be put together by someone looking in a book and not really having much knowledge of saws. A carb is a tube? I got 18/20 but guessed a lot at what they were trying to convey.

[Jughead]

Approximately how big is the piston?
1.5 inches (38.1 mm) in diameter and 1.5 inches high
3 inches (76 mm) in diameter and 3 inches high
5 inches (127 mm) in diameter and 5 inches high

I did answer b since i forgot we were talking about piltz racing poulans

 

[P.M.P.]

I didn't even bother to click on link read alot of negative from other members here about it.

 

[jake wells]

i got 19 the piston question was wrong.

 

[Fishnuts2]

I didn't realize that a 2 cycle turns twice as fast as a 4 cycle engine. I always thought that 10,000 RPM was the same for either style motor. It really was a Commie Core quiz. Maybe my 17 score would turn into a 20 as long as I participated!

 

[dougand3]

Agree that quiz was written by someone who doesn't know saws.

 

[fearofpavement]

Yeah, the question about how many "turns" a two stroke makes compared to a four stroke... If it's rpm, it would be exactly the same. What do they mean by "turns"? That's an example of why I think it was put together by a non English speaker.

 

[tickbitintn]

I interpreted... "turns" as "strokes" and that whoever wrote it doesn't know anything about anything mechanical.....

16 here and I was beginning to doubt what I have learned here until I started reading the comments. Now I don't feel so bad.

Stihl called me immediately and I am now lead engineer on the 127mm saw.

Question 19 I think it was, most saws sell for $100 or less.

Not any of the good ones.........

 

[Marshy]

Jeesh, how can any of us respect you saw "experts" if you cant pass this quiz?

 

[cus_deluxe]

Took the whole thing. Apparently chainsaw pistons are all 38mm and chainsaws cost about $100. Thanks for posting juggy, now i will open my own chainsaw repair service.
