I worked on my chain a little

 

[jmssaws]

026 in the same log,semi chisel 325.
I got a good chain that I'll try later today

 

[MustangMike]

Does quite well for a little saw with semi!

Less than 200lbs and a high exhaust.

Less than 200lbs and a high exhaust.

Why do people frown on raising exhausts ? i just cleaned up/squared up the ports on an 036 once ,deleted the base gasket ,raised the exhaust a little over a millimeter and it ran stronger compared to when was stock ,ran a 28 inch bar on that saw ,

I don't know but it's almost taboo,I use to try and run a super low exhaust because I thought it gave me tourqe,I have certainly changed my thinking on this.
The 230lb of compression 066 with a exhaust at 101 was how I use to do it,now I can clobber that saw with 180lbs of compression and the exhaust at 96/98.
I like the way a saw runs with a higher exhaust,there free,not held back.
The 026 has the exhaust at 101 and 185lbs of compression and is as strong I think.

Raising the exhaust moves the power up in the rpm,to me the fastest saws will make the most power at a higher rpm which turns the chain faster and that's what it's about

The i had 036 did rev a little higher ,sounded good for a baby saw ,

 

[jmssaws]

The 026 is different from most,I know @drf255 well and I know his numbers and he builds a monster 026 so I see a opportunity to try something new so instead of 107 and 250lb of compression we got 98 and 185lbs of compression.
It works too,I'm not saying that this saw is stronger than Al's because that ain't true,im saying there's lots of ways to do it with good results.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

No more rev limiter on this thing. I want to put a 20" bar on it.

 

[jmssaws]

I made a better chain and put my fancy bar on.

 

[jmssaws]

I also fixed a square chain for the 026.
I'm done messing with this saw,it's going home.

 

[MustangMike]

I would send you my address, so you could send me both saws, but then I would not need anything else, and that would be no fun, so never mind!

In all honesty, great job on both saws Jason, you got both ends of the spectrum covered!

 

[Redfin]

Really well. His hands and arms have healed without any grafts. His legs are healing really well too now that they are grafted. He's talking about a new boat already, so I think he's gonna be fine.

Really good to read man!

 

[jmssaws]

Here's a 346 in the same wood and same b&c as the 026

 

[MustangMike]

I was thinking that 026 would give a 346 competition, but I'm not timing it!

346 is a good bit faster

Your dead on there from a timber cutters stand point. And dead on with mucho other statements as well. Keep up the functionality and professional work guy!

 

[drf256]

I think exhaust roof shape plays a role as well.

In the hands of a skilled chainsaw Porter, you're not gonna beat a 346 with a Stihl 026 in any race.
