dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[Brian B.]

Hmm...wonder would that produce stellar results with my Remington Weekender 34 CC & my Stihl 025???
Just wondering about the possibilities...

Did you do a lot carb adjustment on the MM?

Muff mod on our 025 picked up quite a bit of power.

my thoughts are that more then likely you will get decent power out of it but not anything similar to what a modded factory muffler would give. they switched from a stack to a can for a reason. i would be very very very interested in seeing a vid of this very cool project yer doing though. i had my heart set on getting a 45cc quake but payed a good chunk of my wifes dentist bill and did some christmas shopping today so have no extra funds maybe by my next payday one of you guys will have an extra chill'n that i can buy off you.

I'm thinking most of the reason behind mufflers in the first place was noise. There's a big difference (between Loud and L-O-U-D) with muffler vs stack on my old C-9 Homelite, no real change in felt power though.

It aughta be the loudest 'Quake around.

Besides, the correct answer to "why" is almost always "Because I can"!

Loud chainsaws are neat. Makes tree huggers mad

Any opinions on the coil being limited or not on these 45cc units? I did the down and dirty muffler mod drilling straight through from the back, through the cat and out the front. The saw just woke up and came alive, my hearing is basically shot but it was still a touch rich on idle and very fat on the high side still, dialed it in and it's ridiculous how fast it cuts now with the bar buried.

It sure sounds like I have it 4 stroking when you back off the cut in the wood, but to me it also has the cadence of a limited coil now with the muffler mod.

please try to get a vid up of your quake cutting wood with that stack. i am very interested in the results

 

[Brian B.]

Factory chain isn't bad either is it? I was pleasantly surprised.

Will certainly do!

The one I got will need some grinder time before I even try it, I got a trashed one with my saw.

As far as I can hear I think its unlimited.

I've got a tach, when I start playing, I'll have it out. The 11,000 "book" speed is awful slow... Tachs show a limited coil real quick, can't get a good reading to save your butt when it's on the limiter.

I believe someone like 100 pages ago in the tread got a trashed chain. They contacted the seller and a new one was sent. Different saw, and Different seller I believe, but it might be worth a try.

Tell them it was damaged in shipping. It is a travesty how these are shipped out.

I'm happy with what I got for the price. Remember that they're selling these as "parts saws". I'd be upset if anything actually was damaged (other than a couple scuffed labels), but I don't see a need to get more out of them (and raise prices on future ones).

Stuffing some old newspapers in there sure wouldn't have hurt though.

 

[trophyhunter]

It's nothing short of a miracle these things manage to show up in one piece as poorly as they are packed, but all of mine miraculously survived the monkeys at the shipping terminals.

 

[Brian B.]

OK- urgent!

Can someione tell me definitavely if they are or are not sold out on these Gems- a guy wants my 50020AV and wants to give a fair price, last three times I cut I found the Quake in my hands vs the PP5020- (bettersaw?)..

Need to know, won't sell the 5020 unless the Quakers are still available.

 

[Lark-o]

I'm pretty sure they are still available.

Exactly! As I said when I did mine this way, this method is pretty barbaric, but it's simple and the results are awesome!

 

[milkman]

I noticed that I got a warranty card to fill out and send in, they're sold "as is", anybody else get a warranty card?

I was amazed how snappy the throttle became, it was pretty much pig rich before. I might try and add another hole in the front where I have the H set and see if the rpm's increase any, gotta pony up for a tach to tune these saws from now on I don't trust the old ears to do it right anymore.
