dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[naturelover]

Oddly enough, my $35 Quake and the Shindy 500 don't leak oil.

My 441 does though.

Wonder if it'd be cheaper to buy another saw than ordering parts?

Not too thrilled with my quake at the moment. It leaked an entire tank of bar oil out in 24 hours at 30*F.

Store it in an old baking pan. Pour it back in with a funnel when needed!

(I store all my saws on oil absorbing pads, even in their cases. Can't re-use it though. I used to have a VW with a cracked case - we 'catheterized' it, collected the leaking oil, and ran it back through, topping it off now an then. Ran it clear across the country like that).

None of my Quakes or clones leak bar oil (so far).

Got mine today

Never had gas or oil in it. Does have a chip broken out of the rear handle, but that's just cosmetic.

Got a video of it uploading now.

Here is the video

I accidently hit the kill switch right before the first cut.

Only thing left is for you to possibly ruin your sig with the new addition

I'm going to do a lot more than that. I will be porting it as soon as I finish the two in front of it. I wonder if I can find a sproket to change it over to .325.

Naw. It's a spur

 

[naturelover]

Welp, dove a little deeper into the quake, mostly to make sure there wasn't some problem with the jerky starter.

And was surprised to find something that even my Stihls don't have....

Metal starter paws....

Anyway, noticed a movable winter/summer carb slide, I think..

But it doesn't move, nor is it mentioned in the manual.

The opening that I think it would open or close..

It seems set now to blow warm air into the carb, but not as the main intake. Most of the air comes through...

And I swear, I was gonna use this as a beater/ATV saw, but dang, this little thing is growing on me...

 

[TreeTangler]

Thanks a lot guys, just placed my bid.

 

[stinkbait]

I couldn't wait

I just had to dig in and see what can be done.

Cylinder ports are tiny. I was hoping for a closed port design.

 

[Philbert]

OK experts: whose cylinder design did they copy?
