Thanks Norm the other saw's in the pic was the saw's I was using for the last few days at work, the 394XP was still in the jeep and is feeling very left out ! With 70 plus saw's some days I seem to spend more time thinking about what I'm going to use !

 

[NORMZILLA44]

394 indeed!! Another muscle beast. 70 plus nice! Thought I was in tall cotton with 5, and a pole saw LOL!

Norm, a mate's ol' man has a 2101 that needs some reserection and lovin but just won't part with it even though he's well past his cutting days. I understand that some of us may like to look at our saws well past our use by date, but this isn't that scenario. It sits in a pile of 394's, 395's in a corner amongst scrap metal. Yeah, it's his right, but grrrrr, lol.

So at this stage, all I can offer is my tweaked 101cc 395.

vintage power!!!

There is vid of guy running an 1100 with a 42" bar on it cutting oak slabs. Has a D handle on it. In the Mac thread.

that d handle helps a lot but i learned one trick...when i choke it to cold start it and pull it over three or four times i have to take it off choke or half choke because if not, it will "hydrolock" and just flat not pull over. i've broken two "d" handles clean in half trying to pull it when this condition happens. when its warm it restarts immediately, just on first cold start. it last measured 150 psi cold. its an early 1973-1974 model because it uses the momentary kill button and full cover air filter with the neat trumpet housing intake. i was concerned about oiling the 42" bar but the oiler on it is a 4 position adjustable oiler that i put on 4. it seems to do well enough. i'm building a 2100 late 70's model that will probably take the 42" bar and i'll put a 32" on the 1100. the 2100 is ported with a massively opened muffler, we'll see if it works. i'll get vids of it when done.

Grantwolland, Saweet saw! WSG After I saw the pic of the stump, I figured it looke'd funny too, like a jack seat. The very back that look's like another cut was where I had to rip a union. A spar where the other side broke off. I will post a pic. I prefer the humbolt also, and had a hell of a time trying to line up my under cut. Trying to dawg in with no bark to help ya,and tight grain madrone. Had a swell, and narrow in the center. A weird one. Most of the holding wood was half rotten or better. I started the backcut, got one wedge in, and squred up the downhill off side first, had a feeling it would let go before I could completely square my cut. I was right had it close reached for my axe, and second wedge, see ya she went. Went right where I wanted, just to the right of the grape stake's! Try the pic in a few. ####### the pic posting is slow on this site. Most of the time I have to do it one ata time, and try about 5 plus time's.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Finally got the pic to post.

Enough small talk. I am back to the land of MUSCLE:hmm3grin2orange:

Joe, That is a sweet saw and well treated.

I've not had hydrolock with the 2101 anniversary.
Say, what octane gas do you and Zill run in your saws and are you putting in any sweetners? We live big with high octane.
Joe

Here's my two 2101 XP's one is an 89 300year saw and the other is an 87. They both run very well and I do enjoy working them !! Sorry but I still have not mastered the posting of pics yet so sorry !!!!! Will have to snap some better ones as

You've done yourself proud with that lineup, Dave. Hang on to them.

I have had good luck with mine. Compression of course, but fire's 3-4 pull maybe. I drop start em, seem's the easiest for me.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Been along day. Fire'd up the 2101 the bird's flew out of the tree's even my neighboor's ear's were ringing. I think the passing cloud's even pause'd for a minute. A breath of fresh air in the muscle land!
