Well Guys?????

[Magic_Man]

Hello all, I joined this site a month ago and man has it grown. I have a feeling I will be spending more of my time here now.

I gotta figure out this latest version of tapatalk.... I can't find much on the site yet, or just wait until I get into work tomorrow so I can be on a computer..

I was/am a member on that other forum and have been for well over a year. I've only been a member here since late December. I've got more posts(and likes) here. I've learned more here and have had more fun in the last couple weeks then I ever imagined. The members are awesome and so is the forum. Keep up the good work here fellas. This place rocks.

Hey everyone, just joined today. Within a few minutes of reading I could tell this site is a whole lot better than the other site (AS).

[Redfin]

Actually, thought it got applied to those that asked the dumbest questions, so I am gonna roll with it....

Can i join your club?

 

[Mastermind]

Not better, just different.

AS has been a love of mine for many years. It has just gotten bogged down with drama.

 

[wildroamer]

Always been more of a lurker/learner, but even I can see the douchebaggery going on over there...

I like the new site. I also enjoy Sawhawgz and I still go on AS. Sure there may be a few people I don't care for but I still have lots of friends over there. I never got caught up in what all was going down to get people banned so I don't have an opinion on that. I enjoy using my saws, going to GTG's, racing a little bit, and chatting with my fellow chainsaw enthusiasts. As far as Brad Snelling goes he's never done me personally any harm. I bought a stock 2101 Husky from him years ago and I still have and enjoy it, never had any problems. I will say that the couple saws I've run that were Ported by him didn't make me want to send him a saw. I will say he has done some nice looking restorations. I ran his 064 at Wiggs a couple years ago and it sure was a nice saw, it would be even better if he sent it to Treemonkey. Just a few of my thoughts.

My 064 would be better if I sent it to Tree Monkey too.

How much difference is there in port timing between the 064 and the 650?

A lot. The exhaust is much higher on the 650 jug, and the transfers are lower. The intake duration is also longer on the 650 jug.

This forum seems to me like it has a great future. lots of guys with lots of knowledge and experience who are not interested in the piss-fest that ends up happening on a lot of internet forums. there are some genuinely good people here, 99.9% of whom i havent met yet

How is that 650 doing did you run it today? Can't wait to see a video

The weather turned crappy overnight. Everyone bailed out on cutting. I'll run it tomorrow in some poplar here behind the shop though.

Monkeymind, any luck in your search for a 4.236 block?

 

[Mastermind]

Found a guy in WI with some stress block 4.236s. Gotta get mine out to make sure I get the right one. I've been too busy in the saw shop to look up.

 

[dieselfitter]

I suppose the weather hasn't cooperated either. I'm curious if yours is balanced and if it is, if it is the 4 or 6 bolt balancer. I'm betting it is balanced with the early 4 bolt balancer.

The weather has either been raining, snowing, or I'm too busy to get on it. I need that machine in working order before spring, so I'll be getting on it soon regardless of weather.
