Woodpecker flies the MS400

[00wyk]

I did it on a log in about 10 minutes.

And that means anyone can do it.

I assume when you said 10 minutes that you meant the repair took 10 minutes.
A solenoid is 4-10 days wait here. So now I have to order it ahead of time and keep it handy in a work tractor at several sites, some hundreds of KM from each other.
As it is I keep a few in my personal tool box and then bring it to the site when needed so they don't get lost.
This takes more than 10 minutes, right?
Can we understand the divide in our work situations here?
Again, the non MT and non AT sites get more work done.
The best repair is reliability.

Where do I score ?

Keystone State.

Im liking the auto tuning carburetors after learning a few reset procedures and common issues, I doubt that I'll give up any of my old Macs and Homelites though. Its funny but those companies just deleted the high and or the low jet screws completely on some saws to eliminate the problem.
I have noticed at most dealers that tree company guys usually just smash the M-tronic saws with a tree ,which ends that tuning problem.

Reinstalling a solenoid in the woods? I love salesmen...

Look, I don't have an 'opinion' here. I only have experience.
The estates that don't have MT or AT get more work done. Just a fact.
I get less calls to work on their saws or to work out issues in the field, and their saws spend less time in the shop(whether mine or the seller).
Yes - MT and AT are here to stay(for now). I'm not arguing it. But that doesn't mean it's better for everyone. And, to be frank, AT and MT keep me in business.
But none of my personal saws are MT or AT.
I imagine for the dealers it is a nice wind fall, though. Solenoids here are €60 a pop or more.
The worst part is they are often not in stock - usually a 4-10 day wait.
So yeah, if you are in the states and like to fiddle with small parts in the dirt and the rain, and your dealer has these parts in stock and cheap, then I can see people enjoying having to fix or repair their saws in the field.
I just like my saws to work. And my non MT and AT saws just... work.

Yet you just said you can rebuild a carb in the woods? As far away from a salesman as you can get, actually a welder in a mine and I stand by the statement of being able to change a solenoid in the woods. If you can rebuild a carb on a truck tailgate you can change a solenoid there. Also who worries about them being in stock? That’s up to you to buy a couple to carry in the woods not that big a deal have them, not like they’re saw specific and even if it was you know what saw you have.

Shhhhhhtihl

If something is gonna kill me or destroy my body it's not gonna be the vibration difference between a 400 and a 462.

That I can promise you.

It's gonna be a woman. And she's gonna have really, really big tits.

What are you even talking about?
I try not to do any repair work in the field if I can help it. It is literally a waste of time. I do work in the field. I will swap to another saw first.
Are you confusing me with someone else?

God I hope so.

No but your going on like the auto tune/mtronic saws don’t run ever and act like it’s some super complicated system ect. It’s a carb that they use the solenoid to adjust that’s it, has a pre determined map built into the coil that controls the fuel flow. No more moving parts than a standard saw all the tell tales to a poor running saw still apply. Only thing is I’ve seen mtronic saws that got leaking seals and the cylinder is still good, also have replaced lots of pistons and a few cylinders on regular saws from the same issues. Plenty of guys make a good living with the computer saws and have very few issues.

that’s a fancy one

take the purse swinging somewhere else you fellers are messing up a great derail here

I once completely rebuilt a vibrating dildo for a hot girl with big tits using only my feet. In a hot tub.

If I can do that, you can change a gawd damn solenoid.

Poor Dall. Not even quoting in this thread and still gets told....

I only believe some of that story...

The tub....it wasn't that hot.

I have a small toolbox that goes everywhere a chainsaw goes with me. It has the basic hand tools a chainsaw takes and maintenance items in it. Fuel filters..circlips..spare rims..stuff like that..even 2 solenoids...

I just ran a 261 to death that I bought in 2017. It had 1 solenoid change in that time.

You're acting like it's a weekly routine to change a solenoid, I have some saws with 2 years on them that still have the original solenoid. I'll trade the occasional solenoid swap for all the benefits of having a saw that tunes itself..

It's a god send for most tree workers, most of them don't even know where the carb screws are let alone what they do..

So when the ms400 vs 562 races happening?

Change a solenoid on an 800+$ vibrating dildo?!? That’s surprising!

As soon as Randy finishes rebuilding 800$ vibrating dildos
