dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[igpoe]

The devil take a three saw plan, I want mine to conclude with my 9th saw being a 145cc, 14krpm, fully modded Earthquake Chainsaw for about $88 total! ! ! ! You Chineese chaps get off your arses and build it today or no duck for Christmas this year.

So, at 2sec/cut how long with it take to make up the time you spent on this?

Now I'll have to do something similar...thanks a lot :rolleyes2:

Hmmmm....

I prefer to think of it as how long it kept me out of the living room watching crappy PBS programming with my wife. :msp_tongue:

Coupling nut to extend mount height - 25 cents

High performance air filter - 6 dollars

Assorted foam and silicone sealant - 1 dollar

Time in the basement with chainsaws - PRICELESS!

You're welcome. My three saw plan is an EQ with a 14" bar, one with a 16" bar and one with an 18" bar.:hmm3grin2orange:

Almost as good as a four saw plan, two at 50cc and two at 38.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

They have obviously succeded with saws. I could Use a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for about $4 a case, or Flying Dog-Raging ##### for $.35 a bottle. What are the limits?

Hey John, I have this little 021 here with an air leak and bad fuel lines. Very little use. It was owned by a little old lady who only cut her hedges on Sundays...




Does anyone know if the 45 cc top end will fit the 40 cc crank case?

base gasket out

well i ran a tank of mix through this today,, not a fast cutter but it did perform very well,, av's are real nice,,, even though it is a 45cc i would compare it to an echo 370,, if for some reason i end up keeping it i am going to do a mild porting and take the base gasket out,, that might help it a lot, i repeat,,, it isn't a fast cutting saw but it did run real good,, it is a good home owner saw

fascinating thread and apologies if this is answered elsewhere - what do you replace the base gasket with? - and does it really affect the volume/compression that much? I'm assuming the extra power comes from smaller volume for compression?

many thanks folks

First things first, clean both surfaces and when you think they are clean, get a soft rag with some rubbing alcohol and clean them again. Use a thin layer of Yamabond, Hondabond or three bond on BOTH surfaces, let it tack up and assemble, after it cures retorque the cylinder and you are good to go. One thing I see over and over again in pics people post here is saws taken apart that are not clean, maybe it's just me but I don't disassemble anything until it is perfectly clean, having things clean makes for a better overall job and reduces failures.

Good one there Walt ! Always clean it as good as possible,then clean it some more ! Before you ever take it apart ! Any dirt inside there will kill it sometime down the road !
Never run one with a bad filter either ! Dirt is going right inside the motor,and will kill it !
Had saws come in with no filter many times ! :bang: Or mowers,cars, etc. Got plugged up,it wouldn't run. :bang:
