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

[carym2a]

Did not know that, never tried it I don't think. We have tried tan oak, but sure I had food from oak pits that used it.

Tan oaks OK and can be good if dried real good ,live oak you want to dry about a year , its a damn good cooker for a tri-tip or porkloin on chicken start about an hour+ to have a good bed and start cooking way high and go slow , save some bark to throw in every half hour to keep the smoke on. OK damnit I'm going to need to BBQ this weekend for sure

 

[paccity]

It has a V stack now and a home made foam filter, I will replace the filter with a K&N, I also have a 480 here with a properly operating carb, the carb on the 2100 hits the governor way too soon and not when it is supposed to. I will look for the post and see if I can fix it or just replace the carb. Sorry Norm looks like I will need to keep the spare case I picked up.

just cork that gov and let it roar.

would you happen to have a pic for reference?

gov blocker

don't use a cork !
just block the hole on the end of the gov. with a disc of thin alum or in my case some copper sheet that was handy.

location of the brass gov valve

thin disc to block hole in end of valve, sorry for the fuzzy pic

leave the original ring gasket in the bottom of the hole to keep the groove with the holes aligned with the fuel passage in the carb. this is the main passage between the fuel pump and the metering chamber so the gov body seals it to the outside as well.

Ok, I ran into a few problems with cutting a good block for the governor, shaky hands, so I got lazy and pulled the non governed carb of my 480CD and now it runs much better, Next will be to replace the flywheel with one that looks newer and reconnect the kill switch wire which broke behind the flywheel.

Awesome Jim, that thing even looks beastly love it! Cary good stuff, going to try it, plenty of live oak here thanks. Allyn you got a a+ thanks for reference, and great to see you! Frasier, and gang finally got a 288, and 2 2100's more! But may send the 2100's to Jacob, he asked me to lookout a long time ago. Brother of the owner of my saw shop, a retired timber faller. Told my friends at the saw shop to send me over, and see what he had. I dug through his shed, and saw two 2100 roguh, and probably be complete rebuilds, and some missing parts. Then saw about 4 371's and a 272 blue top, me thinks 272. And couple 372's. And then what the.............? A complete 288 high top, later run with decomp and full wrap! Low comp but good shape overall. 100 bucks for the three when I get the cash.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Now trying to come up with that 100 bucks, and not alert Jeanie of course. Just killing me the 288 is not in my shed till I do! Priced a OEM p&C today 250, and worth it. It is clean complete, all parts great shape, but no comp. So will have to investigate, and hope for the best. Worst case P&C Hello 288xp!

 

[little possum]

And your gonna talk them into throwin in a 371 or 372 or maybe both in the deal for me too right Norm
Sounds like a good deal for sure!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Hell yeah or try! Was thinking of you guy's as soon as I found them too. He has a pile of about 5-7 I forget. He is waiting on his son to take one or all not sure. He said his son wanted to try to build one. So I will stay on him and ask. Saw a blue top k&n first thought 288. Saw a 2 on the sidecase but other numbers wore off. Compared it to the 288 I am getting, and it seemed smaller and lighter. Me thinks 272 they make one like that?

 

[little possum]

Yes they did Norm. I think it fit the 61, 268, 272 series, but am not 100% positive.

I could be interested in a 371/372 rebuilder if they dont get gone


Good to hear you found the stash, and helps you get some saws off the need list!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Cool deal my friend thought they did. Yep and he gave me a deal because his brother at the saw shop is a good friend of mine. 100 for all three, but holding till I get 100 bucks. I then said a buddy needed a full wrap for his 372, he said ok 50 bucks. So I am afraid he may want too much for the powerheads. I will work on him!

Sounds like you lucked out my friend. I may be interested in that 272 (or a 371) if it's still there a little down the road. Don't tell anyone that I might be interested in a saw built in the 1990's though. I have a reputation afterall...

Norm,
I think we may need to contact an AS admin, as I fear someone has hijacked Aaron's account!!!!
I hope we find out who this B*****d is that is impersonating our good friend. I sense a serious beatdown in the future...............Son of a *****!
I'm going to give Aaron a call, and warn him.

Aaron good shiat! Yep had to reread your post lol! Hey as you know them Husky's are bad to the bone! Jon good to see you, and:cool2: LOL! Yep the real Eccentric please stand up Jon that 288 is in real nice cosmetic shape, hoping for the best, and may get lucky may just need rings.

Here I am. Making smoke and chips with an old Mac that may be familiar to Norm (but with a new bar/chain).

 

[carym2a]

Ive run my 2100 CD and not bad its a sweet saw,i see now why you guys like them its about the best husky ive used when it comes to power and torque that is (i have not used that many huskys)... very nice pulls a 28in bar with full .404 RS chain like nothing in hard wood...it does not bog like a 3120... the crank is massive i think thats what helps it not bog and keeps it pulling with heaps of torque :msp_smile:

Mine has a 42" with a 3/8 full skip on her and its way fun to work with, in fact you better be on the the ball or she'll be cutting dirt and rocks before you know it gotta love them 2100's

Ya 2100 s are great
Kinda perfect for falling as the were lopsided and liked to flop starter down . About the single biggest problem they had was vibration .

 

[tramp bushler]

I'm amazed at how many people don't understand that the reason the 3120 hangs up has nothing to do with the engine or chain . Its the dogs .
