dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[Streblerm]

Earlier in the thread I made a similar comment and the consensus seemed to be fear of cranking them up that high. I ran five tanks through mine at 12.5k and the plug was nice and tan and it still four stroked pretty decently. That is MM only, no porting and with a base gasket.

ok,,, i went out and tached it,, it was 10500,, i leaned it out to 12200 and it was still 4 stroking a bit,,, i will stick it in wood tomorrow and see what happens

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Mine was still four stroking a little at almost 13.5k but that's out of my comfort zone.

Are you sure these saws have limited coils? I suppose it could've been hitting a limiter but it seemed more like a light four stroking because it was inconsistent. I don't have much experience with limited coils other than my 6401. When it hits the limiter it sounds like heavy four stroking. But you can tell its the limiter because the miss comes in suddenly.

guess the way to find out for sure is to look at the coil

I'd be surprised if they had limited coils but you never know. I'll have to play around and see If I can tell.

Looks good pig rich, imagine when its leaned out a bit Scott. You almost got me regretting selling my ryobi, but ehh nah it had done its part, got my money worth out of it. Hey Scott, same log tomorrow, same chain. Tuned to 13.5 see how it cuts. Betcha she is strong :msp_biggrin: Hey why does 056 have so much bromance for you? That guy really loves these quakes doesn't he, Ya'll should ship him one.

you know if you don't like this thread then stay the hell off of it,, all of use are so tired of you

Well,
I'm tired of a bunch of morons boo kooing over junk.

That saw was running richer than ####, and all you can talk about is how you think you have gotten all you can out of it.


A quote from Mr. Jim Morrison, "YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF ####ING IDIOTS".

FITTING I'd say.

You back again? Just can't stay away, huh? It's OK, they're still just 38cc saws, they won't threaten ************ - you can relax now.

Manhood, hahaha. Last time I checked I had a #### between my legs, I'm fine... And yes fretting imbeciles is somewhat relaxing. In person it would be a hoot!

Why don't you just say "go #### yourself"?

Scott, I wouldn't waste my time with him. My pops once told me I shouldn't argue with morons because onlookers wouldn't be able tell who is the moron and who isn't. He is surely just a bored man who only finds pleasure by starting trouble on the internet with people he'll never meet. There is a safety in starting internet arguments, you'll never have to face the person man to man. Id just ignore his posts. If you fight he gets what he wants.


In quake related things, what tachometer did you buy? I want one in the worst way, alot of the guys at the GTG's have the wireless ones, very sweet. I've tried to use my fluke 88 set up with the inductive pickup. I don't think its accurate even with it being set on 2cycle mode.

I'm going run the HUSKYQUAKE as hard as I can when I get started again; heck I only have about 3 seasoned chords left till summer time

HUSKYQUAKE has the most mod's to it and I think I'll need some extra parts

I have sold my last saw; I'm going to keep three Earthquakes I have left just for playing and letting my brother use (he is scary using any power equipment)

Face to face, OH it would be fun. You'd all be friends with me after a while. I'm not afraid to get my ass kicked either. Happened plenty before....

I'm helping you guys build character:msp_wink:
