I like your mod on the muffler Brian, that looks good actually and it saves trying to reinvent the screen hole. So you left the cat inside and didn't take the crimp seams apart and just drilled those two holes?
My chain looks like new but my file was Broken in half Im contemplating buying a 16" bar for it once the chain is shot, its quite soft.
Yeah k095 or A095 I think. Baileys has them on sale right now.I'm thinking the same, only to be able to share chains with my little Dolmar. I think this is the same mount as the small Poulans? I might have a 16" bar down in the shed already.
I cut wood today, my new chain cut really well.... For about 35 minutes. I ordered two new pro chains for both my saws, I was starting today- not going to cut lower than 1' off the ground, under 1', tough, it will have to wait and be manhandled high enough off ground to cut safely. So I'm cutting along, CS4518 is killing he wood, I get into a v shape down dip in this trunk.. (Pile of wood cutting for a neighbor, all the wood is relatively parallel to one another) I thought I could see clear enough to make this one cut... NOPE... There was a quartz grapefruit size rock hidden just so and I layed that new chain right into it without seeing it, I am sick about it. Tried to sharpen it back up but one side of the cutters are kinda fubar.
I need to get a good chain sharpener, the hand files for me aren't getting it.
(To make matters worse the PP5020 cut like a champion with the new chain, but the nose sprocket kept binding with sawdust, so not the finest day of cutting wood, got a bunch cut, but boy I wasn't getting any breaks from stupidity or equipment trouble.)
Where was I going with this?lol, the pro chain I ordered cut really well, but the chain that comes with the Earthquake cuts pretty good too in comparison.
I put the Harbor Freight sharpener on my bench and have never looked back, works great. Item 68221. When pulling out of a link I first pull it to the right a bit to make sure the grinding disk curve doesn't alter the link tip angle. With coupon you can get it for $30. I don't do rocks all the time but when I do it's to the bench - stay sharp my friends.
I'll see if I can measure them tonight. They are either 4 or 5mm I think.Anybody know what size those little screws at the bottom of the muffler are? I lost mine somewhere.........
