Tomorrow I might start collecting my thoughts. I have begun brainstorming, a Venn diagram is in order. I am fond of bubble graphs as well. After a series of rough drafts have been composed I would be indebted for a proofreading. Then a final draft may be submitted if it is not overly objectionable.
 
There a rumor going around that a Earthquake will be hitting Vancouver Island next week :msp_w00t:
 
You should dedicate a whole section to complete eradication of all chainsaws comprised of more than 42 percent recycled soda bottles and include a three page rant on the conspiracy of the wild thing and it's visual promotion of violence thru the use of purple composites.

you mean like this :msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

^ I remember that. I have one of those in right now that needs a chain adjuster, always seems I have tons of parts for them when I don't need them and have to dig deep when I do.

if you can't find one hollor at me,, i think i have a few around here for it
 
Thanks, I should have one that will fit...finding it in the storage hut is the challenge, this spring I hope to remove everything from it and sell off what I don't need, in addition to a truckload of saws there are two four wheelers, a JD rider, several tillers, snowblowers, a couple commercial walk behinds, blowers and at least a dozen trimmers in there. Ideally I'd like to get a shipping container to replace it and only move the stuff once.
 
o8 what's the deal

"only 2 freaking earthquakes now"


Oh wait; I'm down one too :msp_ohmy:
 
i think this is all i will be able to get out of it,,, not to bad considering,, i did cut some cookies for coasters with it too and i am convinced my little ms 170 is faster

I ran into the guy that dropped off the craftsman needing the chain tensioner and he said he needed a saw for the weekend, ended up selling him the last 38cc...I got $60 plus his old saw on trade, looks like a good day after all. Now I'm debating on buying a half tank of gas or another Quake.
 
i haven't read this whole thread so somebody may have already posted this. walmart sells the EARTHQUAKE saws. bet those with the scored pistons are warranty returns.

You got a tach? I'm curious what kind of rpms the saw in the vid is turning. It seems like it is still four stroking in the cut. My EQ flat spanks my dad's MS-170 even after I swapped the adjustable carb on the 170. I can push my EQ quite a bit harder in the cut without stalling the chain. I have mine cranked up to 12.5k and it still four strokes.

it was 4 stroking pretty hard but thats because i have almost no run time on it,,, i never did tach it but i think a few of the other guys have,,,, well crap,, now you got my curiosity up,,, going to have to go tach it
