Saw video thread

Hey Eric. Tell him the saw is screwed up. Can't fix the oiling problem. Couple of turns of a screwdriver on the carb. Then offer him $100 for the parts. Lol

It's a shame some shops actually do that to people. I wouldn't say it unless I witnessed it first hand on more than one occasion.

Looks like some milled boards in the background ... do share!

I have a video of noodle cutting them with my 576xp a few pages back. I used a 54" bar.

Dammit I need to find an 044 of my own now... Black top cover looks awesome. I've been a husky fan for years and always respected Stihl, but now I want an 044. I got the HD-2 filter finally for the one I've been playing with and it's got more balls than the most recent video a few posts back... likes higher RPMs with HD2 + DP muffler options. I'll try to video again this weekend.

Maybe for the right price I can convince the owner of the one I've been playing with to sell it to me.

I want an 044....

I have always been a Stihl boy but recently got hold of a pike of pro huskys..... 371's 372's, a 268 etc etc.

I planned to keep one to broaden my horizons and after using them a fair bit, the only thing I liked more than my 0xx stihls is the spring AV.

I sold them all and built the 064 above instead.

I just prefer the feel, the power delivery, the sound and the carb adjustment that is not behind the starter handle.
Ooooo that annoys me!

I was just the opposite. Once I ran my huskies I sold all my running Stihl's. Each to his own though.

Oh hell yeah!

I will never say either is better than the other, unless I am having a stir.
The huskys ran great, cut great, good to work on..... except when trying to adjust the carb

They both have their pro's and cons. It comes down to what you prefer.

I have kept a 2100CD and 2101XP for milling so I am still bipartsan

The cream and orange breaks up the solid orange. Even though I'm trying to add in some red in there also.

Your saw runs great, so please explain so I can wrap my head around it, did you fill the top or bottom part of the lowers, and is the purpose to increase transfer velocity, or to alter the timing of them?

Thanks.

I only filled the small lip in on the bottom of the lower. Just tryin something different than grinding it off.


And yes, I was shootin for more velocity.

Smooth transition with a little added velocity

Here's an ms180c with a 372 carb. The top cover fits pretty good too.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Here's the first cuts after reassembly. It still needs some break in time since it hasn't even had three full tanks through it since brand new. I'm going to need to open up the muffler just a bit more and see how it goes.

 

[RI Chevy]

Runs nice. Kind of looks like a toy. Lol
