Man-o-man, look at that pile of chip grow! Nice one Jim. Helluva log!

@huskyboy was that a 7 pin?

Yeah, it was a 7 pin .404
I think mason tried it on all his saws [emoji33]

 

[Heffalump]

Where the heck did you find not one but two 111’s?

Man, if you wanna find big saws you gotta get west of Telluride.

I know a guy. He seems to have a knack for finding big crusty old PNW loggersaws.

Then I bring them to this other guy I know, who seems to have a knack for making them run better than when they were new.

where did you get the micro chain?

Top Secret.

Sounds good and strong! [emoji106]

 

[MustangMike]

Lookin good!

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Looks and sounds great Kev. Is it the same cylinder with a ton of epoxy or a different one now?

 

[Redbull661]

9pin is faster but I wanted to see how it would do with 10pin. 115dl stihl semi skip square.

 

[MustangMike]

That is impressive!

 

[RI Chevy]

Saw is strong Julian. Do you think the saw would have run better with a 9 or 8 pin?
What chain were you running? 3/8" square semi skip?

Different one.
I put Popcorn on the lathe and it took .015" more to square up the base and band. Raised the ports back up to where they were. And filled the lowers with epoxy.

About 1:28 I get back to the same end of the log

 

[Deets066]

That saw gets right with it Jules.


Now....are you ever gunna learn to file a chain?

So it is the huge voids causing the popcorn... good to know. [emoji12]

I originally thought so when I created that first video. It ran fine that day. Not so sure now.
That style of porting requires less fuel I believe. If I put my ported cylinder on it, it runs fine. If I put Popcorn back on it, it's 4 stroking occasionally in the cut, creating the pop. Either the mtronic won't adjust lean enough or it won't adjust quick enough before I get tired of listening to it. Which has been about a half, 3/4 tank. More mtron parts are on the way

Ok, so the jury is still out. Fair enough. I eagerly await results!!

The hotter the saw is, the less it pops. Which makes me think it's 4 stroking, and not so much a "pop"

I can’t remember, did a standard carb make a difference in the popping?
