that was the cat DD

I never did like cats. One more good reason not to have one around.

I guess that's the first saw I've owned that was "modern" enough to have the cat muffler. The Ryobi / Zenoah muffler doesn't use that stuff, much less restrictive on the inside.

Hey o8...my ms170 in the auctions is better than yours...:poke:

"I have a potty mouth" :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Yeah, and you're both selling 'em because the Quakes are more fun to run!! :potstir:



Have we really made 34 pages of posts on these saws? Yikes!

Thanks for the info on the muff..

It probably is what is smoking then, as I do have it tuned a little rich still. Did get to really listening to it to tune it, and leaned it out a little. Still a little rich, but will leave as is.

Did make its maiden voyage as an ATV saw but didn't get to see any wood.

Had a chance, but I would have probably needed to bring along some extra gas and oil.

Sandy really hit hard here... :(

Besides, it wasn't somewhere I needed to get through to get home or anything, just had to turn around. Didn't look much better beyond there anyway....

No kidding. I have one on the shelf, one on the bench, two in the mail from evilbay, and bidding on two more. Crap. I won't even mention the 40 cc Ryobi and 41 cc Quake on the shelf before this all started. :bang::bang::bang:
 
we keep this up i will end up buying the guy out:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:,,, oh wth,, might as well put a bid on another one,, my front porch fund is screwed anyway
 
sad isn't it

The little buggers are just so much fun to play with. Easy to tear down, easy to mod, and they really wake up for a small saw. Even if I could find a reason to bash them - they're less than $40!! Just like new!

I tried tinkering with Poulans and Homelites to get the basics of porting, muffler mods, and timing down. The trouble is, you always started with a non-running saw. With these, every saw I've got so far has had 150 psi or better from the start and I don't have to clean it before I start working on it. I'm not seeing a down side to these yet.
 
Which one of you mutts outbid me:D

i confess,, it was joe:D:D:D

I'm trying to be careful there. I figure if we all back off he'll lower the price back down to $35 with free shipping. The only ones I bid on were less than $21 and had no other bidders when I put my bid in. I don't want to run them up for everybody.
 
Hey, BTW everyone....this thread is now officially longer than the poulan pro 5020av thread!!:wave:

And the 5020av is now 179.99 at costco...gotta say I am interested:D
