Saw video thread

[huskihl]

I had to watch those again, while both versions are impressive, that 2nd one makes me curious if you have plans to liquidate after the GTG? Is that a 365 cyl. ? Very nice,let's watch it one more time for the viewer's at home..

Yep. Just a $27 Tecomec 365 cylinder from the Deal of the Day last summer

People are so eager to throw out the closed port 365 topend for the larger cylinders, but they are almost as fast with a short bar.

I bet they're faster with a short bar. Just like an 064 vs 066

I ran one at the PA gtg that was unbelievably fast. It was owning the 4 cube class there. My eyes were opened when I ran that thing lol.

Come on now Mason. Come coco.
Your eyes were wide open just because you saw a fast Hooskie! Lol.

I was concerned with the first one, afearin that you'uns had lost yer touch...

One can not lose the "sausage"

As demonstrated by the second visual time capsule...

I never really lost faith, I have seen several saws on video that confirmed that sausage is equally as efficient as bananas when choosing your stuffing materials...

 

[Hedgerow]

365's rule the 4 cube classes round these parts.
They can wow ya if done right.

Finally got to make some cuts with my 346! Been really cold here and I have had some issues. Finally got it figured out after talking with Joe @Onan18 on Thursday. Have had three carbs and two coils on the saw in the last two weeks. Ends up I probably didn't tighten down the flywheel nut enough. It spun and sheared the key. Made its first cuts today and runs pretty good!

Makita 6421 from @paragonbuilder's raffle donated by @astnmacgto. It's now a 7900 with a 272 coil and RWJ carb

Looks good, how long did it take you to time the flywheel

I did one for @Armbru84 a few weeks ago, and this is my 2nd one. Took me a few hours the 1st time to get it close. I bought a timing light to check where it was. This one took a few hours also, as I wasn't worried about damage to the saw caused by running it with too much advance, and I was doing timed cuts in that 3 hours. It takes a few hours just getting the coil to fit, too. But now I could get it right in a half hour or so

So you're ready to do it again?
That thing sounded ggnarly...
Is it worth the gains to put all of the effort into it, or can you get similar with OEM coil, that 7300 you did looked fairly gnarly itself. Was that a OEM coil?

I wouldn't hesitate to do the swap, I like the 272 coil better

I am happy with it too. Saw rips for only having a 1/2 tank through it.

272 being an unlimited coil correct? That would be nice for tunability not to mention power(great pissrevving) coils still available OEM?

I don't know that its worth it if the saw isn't ported. I'd just start rich and lean it out until it hit the limiter. On a 7910, I might go 1/8 turn leaner than the limiter, as it's a 12,8k coil I believe. 13,3 and 13.1k in others I'm told.
I've only done this one and another 7900. I had a 7310 a year ago, but that was an oem coil
