dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[o8f150]

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.

sorry guys,,, it just burns my azz when people act that way,,, and you are right,,, it is time to put him on my ignore list,, already sent him a neg rep,,,
any who,, i have a fast tach,,, i really like it because it is wireless and very simple to use,, i have been using it for about a year now and to this day it still has the same battery,, they are well worth the money

This is the tach I'm using. I think there might be other, better, ones preferred by forum members but I am happy with it. Bailey's - SenDEC STS-5000 Shop Tachometer

If any of you are musicians I remember reading a thread about using a tuner and converting the frequency to rpms. I tried it and it does work but I already had the tach and I don't like doing math.

 

[o8f150]

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:

then you are doing it the wrong way then,, we are family on here,, wrong way to treat family

I'm happy to report that the 41 cc "chop suey" is still running good, I saw it today at the shop when I was sorting thru my score of stainless steel fasteners that My buddies son picked up for me at auction while I was in the hospital. Maybe when I put the next one together I'll switch it to all shiny screws and call it the stainless edition.

It's Valentine's day, I'm sitting in a hotel room 4 hours from people I would like to be with, and I have a jar of corn liquor found in the woods. Got to find something to do besides pass out... Got work tomorrow any way.

 

[H 2 H]

I have one of these

And have a bunch of these tachs on my other saws and still have a new one still in the package might put it on the HUSKYQUAKE

After doing a bunch of mods to other saws I like seeing what the saws is doing in the cut

Sorry you can't handle life. There are other people with problems to deal with, some of them ones you are pissing off for your own diversion. Grow up.

Grow up? I'm in my 20s and I'd like to be doing my thing instead of this #### but I can't and that has me supremely pissed. Sorry...

Can you relate to that? Are you married?...

 

[naturelover]

You're only in your 20's?

Yup. And I remember my 20's. And life doesn't magically get perfect and all your troubles go away when you get married and have a family. Sometimes things don't go the way you hope.

It's the internet - you have no idea what the people you are talking to may be dealing with, maybe even while these conversations are happening. For many these postings are a pleasant diversion from other things, sharing conversation about common interests. And then they gotta deal with some kid that thinks his problems are license to take out his frustrations on other people, causing more stress.

Like I said, grow up.

 

[056kid]

I'm not saying marriage is the cure by ANY means. I have my share of problems separate from women calling me pleading to come over. But damnit I'd like to go over and I can't...
How about thicken that skin up and play along or something. It's just a cheap throw away plastic saw.
I'll just leave all you sonza #####es alone for the night. Have fun...

And yea I'm in my 20s enough said...

 

[o8f150]

i can say i was in my 20's 30 years ago,, life was rough back then but its worst now,, you just need to figure what you want in life and go with it,, think woman troubles is hard to deal with,, its not even close to what me and several others have to deal with every day,, there are several of us on AS that are literally fighting for our lives each day,,, i wonder day in and day out if i am going to have another stroke or if my chrones is going to go full blown active again or if i am going to have another heart attack,, life is not easy but we all just have to learn to take the punches and go with it and charish every minute we have

 

[056kid]

Well, things got real fast. I wish only the best to all of you. And I do apologise. Goodnight.

just take one day at a time,, you are to young to let life get you down,,, you just rubbed a lot of us the wrong way,, hey i have done it too,, just take a day at a time and set some goals,, heck my wife has set a goal, she is going back to school to get her bachelor degree in the medical field and she is 50 years old,, i hate to say it but i would love to be able to see her graduate,,, if i don't i know she will make enough money to take care of herself,, anyway,,,, everyone has there opinion,, i started this thread just to have some fun,, so lets try to do it that way,, heck in the morn i am going to run my chinese pos again to see if i can get a bit more out of it,, we all know they are not top quility saws but they are a blast to run,,, ok, i am done preaching:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

Just remember that every decision you make today will be judged tomorrow. Best advice I ever got was from Jack Kemp, he told me that if I wanted to be successful I should not do what others my age were doing, I mostly stuck to his advise and avoided the traps that my peers fell into and had a successful career. Blaze your own trail and it just might end up being a shortcut.

Back to Earthquakes, they were prominently displayed at a brand new Menard's today. I think $139, $149, $159 for the three models. Efcos were nowhere to be seen. And they had the Earthquake electric log splitter displayed.

Earthquake brand name is on different things not including what was mention above here in PNW :msp_wink:

I was surprised when I walked into a friends garage and saw a Earthquake pressure washer
