Is that called a 'Tremor'? 'Tumult'? 'Commotion'? 'Disturbance' . . . (just curious)

This is Britain!! It will be a something like 'The gentle nudge'
- with the new ice age pace blade for the imperceptible removal of tree fibre

Convulsion? Trembler? Shaker? Snackie?

I must be losing it because I thought you were implying that you received a 3.7 cubic inch (60cc) earthquake chainsaw...

Nah, just a little CAD sneakin' in on ya. Perfectly normal. Buy another saw and relax.

Here we go boys/girls

Today I mm'ed one of those saw pictured above and retuned the saw and placed a non safety chain on it and now that saw is in the hands of a lawn care service with two more jobs for the day; when I left the saw had two tanks of fuel thru it

After a day of warm weather, the temps started dropping today so I had to go out to the woodpile to grab a load of wood for the stove. Well, I dug into the stack only to find a bunch of pieces that were way too long to fit in the stove. I went to the garage and got out the Earthquake. This particular saw is the third one that I bought and from the looks of it had never been run. A couple weeks ago, I did the usual carb screw mod and muffler mod (with cat removal) and also opened up the exhaust port, but haven't had a chance to run it yet.

So, I finished cutting the over-length pieces when I spied some red oak rounds off to the side waiting to be split. I figured I'd try noodling some of these rounds in half just to put some time on the saw and also to get the rounds drying out a bit quicker.

I was really surprised how well this little saw pulled through the red oak when noodling. I didn't really put any pressure on the saw and just let it self-feed through the wood, but dang! it pulled really well through this oak with the bar buried. When there's a bunch of rounds to noodle, I usually go for my 066 (with a 98cc big bore kit), so my internal clock is calibrated to a quicker speed, but I was not disappointed with the EQ at all.

I know these saws in stock form are pretty lame (which is why I suspect they were returned and ended up on eBay), but with a little love, they end up being pretty nice little saws.

They ran into a nail in a tree and missed up the new chain; they are getting a new chain in the am and going back out with the saw tomorrow. It rained the whole time they were out with the saw today
