Your chainsaw pet peeves

Outboard clutches

Don't be running burnt motor oil as bar oil in any of my saws. Those who do --deserve a smack up side the head with a smelly fish

Revving the *s-word out of saw expecting that carburetor will clean and unclog itself?

Cold starting a chainsaw, immediately piss revving it and sinking in some wood with a painfully dull chain on.

It's okay. Just make sure you use the correct oil mix ratio and all is forgiven.

Short starter ropes.
Watching someone cut with a dull chain.
Used engine oil for bar oil.
How almost all of the manufacturers/distributors treat the dealers.

It’s 40:1, 32:1, 50:1, 25:1 and also 16:1, 70:1 and 100:1 are correct too, apparently. Therefore everyone is using the correct oil ration you’re forgiven!

Incorrect you left out oil type?
Expensive top tier synthetic racing 2T oil seems to be the norm in all the very low output for there cc industrial chainsaw engines (even ported) and tuned fat as! can't be to safe..
Me keeping with my tradition of chainsaw sinning I use cheap mineral oil at 25:1 and tuned for that mix. Yeah I know there is no saving my old clapped out saws lol

Really? what's the go with that skip on a 90cc saw with 20in bar yeah ok that's very efficient I guess?
Skip on a 20in bar in hardwood would be like riding a push bike down the middle of a railway track! LOL..

A once perfectly good OEM cylinder rendered useless by someone who thought they knew something about porting.
