2101xp/ top all time muscle saws!!!!!!!!!!!

[WadePatton]

carbs eh?

Well, the carb had disappeared, apparently modded and hung on a nitro-methane-oxide funny saw. So we worked out the $ and i got more working saw "optimization" pointers and details-MUCH easier when surrounded by 42 half-assembled and modded saws.

Carburetors fo the 2100 family--are there any things to look out for buying a used one? I understand the internal limiter and how to defeat it. Anything else to look for if given a choice?

thanks--and don't hesitate to redirect me to that discussion if it's not a simple answer. I did search.

How right you are regarding Dan Kerr, he has come a long way in the past couple of seasons and he is not the only one as several from both sides of the border can mix it in any company.
Speeking dan,,, glenn innes is not that far away, round feb i think, realy looking forward to 11 post billets you need a loader to roll.

oh joy, guess I better bring a cut lunch to that race, :msp_tongue: .

your right about people improving, getting harder to figure out who wins each race, good thing there are a few video cameras around to help the judges :msp_thumbsup:

Norm, all good down this way, getting ready for a good ol aussie xmas, plenty of seafood and stubbies

Work,work just the usual. I just tore my left hamstring so i have called it a day, did the same thing only a week ago on the right one so now i have two. My log yard has dried up but still has deep holes with mud and of coarse i found the edge and slipped in, i must be getting old.


That old 051 i use for docking packs off blew the plug out so looks like she is pensioned off, i put a 395 on the job and its cuts a little quicker but the old girl was ok and i never touched it except for maintance.

Sorry to hear about the injury, my friend and the saw. Are you going to be able to fix it?

Bummer man, hope you get it worke'd,out. My 2101 was I am thinking one of the last run's. I found out there were limited, and unlimited carb's. Mine has no governor. But like you said you know how to plug it off so you will be fine. Those tilotson were some of the best made ever.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Lumberjack, good deal my friend! Aussie xmas sound's great. Wade so you got two saw's coming?

see post #1143, and yes my autoparts/small engine man (close as a brother) said the same thing about tillotson. i'm not sure if i've ever turned a screw on the irish sort of mixers.

and i'm a scrubbin' and a cleaning--this must have been a redwood saw, that's the color of the dust and of course it's from cali. hanging new rings on it too, smoothing up the rough spot on the piston and very lightly honing the jug. have 24" for this one and 30" coming with BC saw...yeah, that's what I'll call 'em. "Cali" and "BC".

i'm going to get a bigger gas can too...

 

[WadePatton]

dark out at 4pm, I get home from work and its dark. Hard to saw in the dark:msp_mad:

two words:

coleman lantern (well, the second word was redundant, but that's shorter than quoting the vintage coleman logo, "Sunshine of the Night".)


whoops-hey don't count the words in parenthesis. 3 or 4 colemans will light up a workspace.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Funny #### Wade about the lantern's! Congrat's on the Cali saw, many made a living here in giant Redwwod. I was impresse'd with how many were in the high climber, and timber faller book. Many!! Funny to as long as I have been here guess I never really realized, the post's were numbere'd LOL!

 

[WadePatton]

Lumberjack, good deal my friend! Aussie xmas sound's great. Wade so you got two saw's coming?

yeah, we keep overlapping posteses, but i got Cali from Ricky who bought it out of CA a few years back when he was still racing. I "messed around" and bought BC off craigslist last night/this morning-i didn't think my offer would stand and was counting on re-contemplating before answering the counter-offer if it came. THAT's how you accidentally buy a saw. :hmm3grin2orange: I'm wiring him the money tomorrow.

the carbs came offa ebay and i made some "low" offers, _both_ were accepted...sometimes bargains just bowl you over eh? one of them is already in the mail.

Now i'm quite happy to have the pair as i hope to always have at least one of them running-and if things get tough, can borrow parts back and fourth as needed to minimize down time.

I proberbly won't worry norm as its old and i was thinking maybe i could fit a new 076 cylinder from baileys, i have an old wornout 076 so i could rob whats needed to make a bb 051. The only reason i still use it is because it blows the exhaust out the side and not the front, when docking off packs in the mill the newer front exhaust saws blow it straight back which is not much fun in summer.
My tore hamstring is worse today calf is torn also, my eldest son worked with me today and was a big help. should come good in a couple of weeks i hope.


WILL,, i hear ya on the seafood and stubbies, this year we have decided to work straight through with my family, maybe stop for lunch christmas day, trouble with that i eat and drink tooooo much then want to go and have a sleep.


Wade,,, sounds like you scored 2 good ones, hope they perform as i know they will.

Hope you all have a good, safe christmas all you good people.:msp_thumbup:

 

[lumberjackau]

Neil, when I first arrived here it was a shock to the system having such warm temps for xmas, didn't take long to get used to it tho :biggrin: It's a good thing the family is coming out to help you, good way to spend time together inhaling sawdust

Been able to get into some 2100's today, sorting out cylinders and pistons, got a thin ring "B" piston and trying to match it up to a cylinder that isn't missing half its lining and the lettering to match up. Once that is sorted it is time to open her up a bit to let it breath :biggrinbounce2:

Cheers
Will

Im glad to be here among friend's. Went for a Boar hunt today, and hand our hand's full. Parmeter and me Jack, and Tanner my two dog's of three, struck and stoppe'd a Boar that was playing for keep's. After he went down I saw Jack couldn't walk on a leg, and had taken a bad hit to the shoulder. Then I saw a hit under his chest almost went through the rib cage. I got me spooke'd. The day started to go better we did some cutting, and all in all a real good morning. I left and was heade'd to rendevous with one of my best friend's, and fellow dog man. He was dogging out on Mill creek road this morning, us on westside rd. I was supposed to drop of my 4-wheeler for him to build me a dog rack. Texted him said I was down the street, but was surprised I had not heard from him, and it was 330pm. Get a text saying not a good day he would talk to me later, two of his dog's got kille'd. F### That hit me like a ton of brick's I love him, and his dog's.

Sorry to hear that Jack got hurt and your friend lost two dogs. I had a buddy who used to hunt pigs with dogs, but stopped after loosing a few that he'd gotten real close with. He's since moved to Idaho. Great guy. He gave me my .338 before he moved.
