Stihl HD?

Stihl HD?

Not necessarily the filter but the lack of cleaning it.

394 sounds really healthy Jason.
You running 3/8" chain or .404?

 

[jmssaws]

Thanks.
3/8

 

[dolmarkid]

Or get a max flo air filter system

 

[jmssaws]

Tuned it a little bit more. It's 13.8 in this video

Holds RPM'S nice. What are you listening for when you pause between cuts Jason?
You seeing how the saw returns to idle? And trigger response?

Yep.
I mostly just run saws that I just finished so I'm always tuning and listening even when I'm just cutting I do it. Habit

 

[RI Chevy]

Ok. Thanks

Here's one of my work saws,this is a production falling saw,it's on the limiter to much.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice. Is it Mtronic?
What exactly is a production saw? You producing saws now? Lol

No its a red light 066.
There limited,the red light on the side that's flashing is telling you it's hitting the limiter.
A production saw is one that works every day all day so it's more mild.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahh. Ok. Really cool. How do you fix the limiter issue? More aggressive chain? Bigger rim sprocket?

Take the coil out and throw it in the trash is how you fix it.
It's got a single key flywheel or it would be changed now.
I've only got 1 066 flywheel and I'm keeping it for the one I'm building myself.
I can make it work without a key but I don't like that. If it was mine I would but not a company saw.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Ok. New coil.

That 394 looks impressive Jason. So does that redlight.

I'm sure Mattyo is gonna want a Unicorn showdown this spring.

 

[Mattyo]

maybe I just keeps it all to myself

For a 066 to run with a strong 94/5 it takes a rare cylinder that you may never find
I've got lucky and found a few this year but a 394/5 are all the same,they all can run the same where a 1122 is dependent on the cylinder and everyone is different.
