Saw video thread

Here is another one.
MS661 in dry Aussie hardwood.
These are its first cuts after porting before it ever saw fuel out of the box new.
It got better and better over a few tanks

I like the way that one runs!

Meant to post these here last week! 395XP I got running for a friend and had Kevin do a snout setup similar to Sondre's 395. Beast!

Felling the butt of an elm tree at last Saturday's tree job:

Nice Eric. Did you land it on the log? Lol
Sounded like it ..

Yup! Dead center then she bounced off to the side. Yard was frozen but to help not make a big dent. Also bucket truck right behind me and deck so we throw a line on it

Felled the maple butt next to it with the 262 mason went through for us. Rattler setup the cylinder and Matty helped with case work and assembly ... and that saw totally rips. True community effort saw lol.

First cuts on a complete rebuild from a junk pile. Snuck in an 046 cylinder and a Meteor piston.

That one is a sweetie. Did you stick with the Zama carb?

 

[MustangMike]

Jacob, I thought most of the 12 mm 044s had the Walbro and the snorkel.

My 10mm 044 still has the Zama. I tested other carbs on it, but it liked that one best.

Conversely, my ported MS460 liked the HD-50 best (461 carb), and my ported Hybrid like the 70 jet Walbro best. (I think an HD-14 ... don't remember). It was the arctic carb.

I have trouble making any sense of it all ... so just try to give them what they like best!

I have a HD11 on my hybrid Mike and it came with the heat parts. Not sure if they used others on the Arctics?

Owner sent me an HD-16 for it

That’s what is on mine also.

I only asked because you can see a Zama in the picture of Kevin's carcass. I've run the old Zamas on several saws and they did a great job.

The 16 is a good carb. I had a Zama on the last ported 046 I ran for 8 years and it did a good job. Several people have maligned the Zamas but the early ones were good.

I gave that saw to a couple forum members that are pro fallers.

The Zama is akin to the Quadra-jet to me. Hated by most in favor of a Holley. But when the Quadra-jet was right.....


The Zama just works

Good comparison. As a kid my dad made me take a few apart and put them back together. I think they are just a bit over complicated in comparison to a Holley but really when they are in working order you didn’t have any trouble with them. Mostly mechanical linkage issues and *s-word would cause the trouble. The Quadra junk as some called it lol

Who's ready to race?

Wowzer! That's nice.

 

[Slumberjack]

I’m not the competitive type. That does look like it’s super fun to run though!

Caber rings are finally starting to feel better and got my full wrap put on the scrap yard ms441.
