[Dennis Cahoon]

14x14 white pine for the chain race. 60d-.050 common saw

was thinking of using one of the build off saws for the chain race, 8 pin gear

That size wood will work, but bigger(approx 20") would be better, although you'll need to have an 84 driver chain. Did you say Rick Halverson was gonna run the saw for the chain race? If he isn't available, have one of the Helsels run the saw. They're excellent operators, and I'm sure will be happy to do it.

Dennis what makes the 20" wood best for a chain race...??

Not arguing by any means, I've just never heard that before. I'm guessing through trial and error over the years 20" wood has somehow proven to be the best size for a good test....??

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

My bikesaw has a working choke, 28" bar, bored carb, stock piston and head
can I run that?

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Woodchuck'r......Any size wood will work, but a bore, up and then down cut in 20" soft wood with a 660, will only be about 7 second. As was stated, he wanted to have some fun.....So bigger wood, longer cutting, might make it more fun.

Who doesn't like big wood?????

10-4 on that, gotcha. ::thumbsup::

Definitely down with the more fun part fo sho!!

I figured it was more based on technicalities but nope! lol....

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Now we need Brad to sign his race chain up for the FUN!.......Hahahahahahaha!.....Why not Bradley?.....you already have one built.

 

[RiverRat2]

Wish I was closer as that is a format where the results mean something to someone like me...I'll certainly be following the thread. In particular the 28in B&C in big oak to test raw torque & power vs. simply chain speed & cutting ability in soft uniform wood; and also let those saws build a little heat in longer cuts. Of even more interest is using typical wear items like chain & filters along with fuel that most actually working that saw would typically use in a build that could be in fact used in the real world...nice concept...

(It would be interesting to have a subjective rating on how practical these builds are as well..do they blow crap back at you in big wood close to the ground? How about when making face cuts trying to get that extra ft of stump? Stuff like that...)

The saw I am entering is being used doing real world falling and commercial tree removals to include flush cutting some big stumps as close to the ground as you can get prior to stumpgrinding,,,, I will post up some pics of some I just flush cut a few weeks back that havent been ground yet when I get back from my dayjob,,,,

will be kind of hard to duplicate that scenario @ a GTG,,,, as for mine,,, it generally has been being used w/a 28&32" bar all of its life since being pieced together last year By Jacob J out of wrecked saws and a few new parts,,, I used it for a while just like it came from JJ and it ran really good for a stock saw w/a little compression,,,,,, then it went to See Jasha (Treesling'r) for some mild porting and resetting of the squish,,,, as it was already a bit of a hotrod when JJ sent it to me initially ,,,,,,

It is really a fun saw to run,,,,, it's just a good everyday worksaw,,, not a race saw by any means

That's a .325 chain for a 16" bar.

ive ran that saw and its why im thinking about buying a 390xp. i liked it,liked it a lot. rick if your not using that 660 much you could send it back for me to tweak for the 660 build at jeremys. just sayin

 

[troutfisher]

I like the 60dl chain race, maybe I can send one down. I don't have any 84dl chains and I ain't filing one that I'll never use. When is this going to happen?

 

[andydodgegeek]

March 16 and 17 is a friday/saturday. Why not sat/sun? I can take off work but before I do I want to be sure of date. I look forward to making the trip and meeting some more of you people. I got to meet tree monkey this weekend at the innerfaith charity cut, he seems to be a very knowledgeable fellow that can run a saw real well. I look forward to seeing his shop. I sent my 064 home with him to get it to speed up my cutting process. I havent been to any races but the it seems to me that guys racing in a 40" white oak log sound really cool and real world.

 

[redlinefever]

I would like to make it but have to work that weekend brother in law said he would come also.

 

[tree monkey]

so here is what i'm thinking.
woods mod, must have stock piston, can have popup, stock carb, can be bored, working choke, air filter, muffler can be ported all you want, must have spark screens. all covers must be in place.
no head saws. 28"b/c.
2 races, stock chain, and race chain, choose 1 or both,
round wood and cants, red oak and white pine.
28”d&c for the build off saws in big oak using stock chain.
14x14 white pine for the chain race. 60d-.050 common saw
92d-33rsc chain $20.25, all from the same roll

I will supply the fuel, 91 octane non eth mixed 32/1

what else?


i want to keep this fun for all that attend so it's not just a race gtg, everyone is welcome. bring a dish to pass if you can.

march 17-18

Sweet Rick! I haven't had my boat out since the end of August. Just fired it up today for the first time since then, it was kinda grumpy.

YA thats my buddy Herbert's boat it had been setting for 4 years when He bought it,, it has been really grumpy for the last two weekends,,,

I just serviced the lower unit,lube and water pump, and got it running 1/2way decent 2 weeks ago but some of the injectors were still misfiring a bit,, the oil in the reservoir was like molasses,,,,, LOLOL had to flush all that out,, the oil reservoir up in the cowling had stripped threads so the first time we took it out it looked like the Exxon Valdeze whe we go t it back on the trailer,,, fixed that saturday then promptly went swiming off the back when Herb gassed it too hard while I was powertuning the air injection pump,,, fried my cell phone so I have lost everybodys contact info including all of my friends here!!!

put quadruple amounts of injector cleaner in the fuel tank before we went out Sunday for a little fishing,,, and it seems to be running real smooth now,,,,

Here is my ride,,,, oh I mean Chainsaw!!!!!!!!!

I figure 1/2 of the fun going fishing is getting there!!!!!!

 

[tlandrum]

you know where that boats built dont you rick? gotta love TN

LOL, sounds like quite the adventure.

I love that boat of yours, freaking awesome! I'd love to go in it someday. I remember you showed me a pic of it when you were out here. I do love going fast.

 

[RiverRat2]

Know where it was built????? Heck yeah I ought to,, I went and picked it up @ the factory when it was finished right outside of Knoxville SE abit Sevierville, TN ,,

Thats my third Bullet Boat,,,,,,,, the Power head on it now came off of my Lake Racer class boat that I had to retire when I found out my back/spine was fusing,,,, Doc sawbones said I might not fair too well ifn I blew it over again,,,

So now I gots a 90+MPH fishin buggy instead of a 118mph+ outboard drag boat,,,,,
