dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[o8f150]

i just checked the times,, it seems they both are in the 8 second range,,, now i did forget through its the same log but its about 1 inch bigger in dia whether or not that makes a difference,, so this being said i guess i perfer it to be a little richer like maybe 12500,,, ok now for your alls opinion

better then yesterday scott. just one thing. richen up yer low speed at least a bit. that starve for fuel sound when you let off the throttle hurt's my ears :msp_biggrin:

It sounds alot better after the tune

About the time of cut who really cares

Oh we do have a dress code here on AS; put the shorts on !

i do agree with that,,, it is a tad lean,,

 

[o8f150]

i forgot,, it was holding at about 10000 in the cut

 

[o8f150]

ok,, i just had to do more grinding,, i think it helped more,, i had a good pile of alum on the table when i got done:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

Yep, that looks and sounds much better. No more four stroking in the cut and seems to have a bit more grunt. I'm glad to see you found the saw four stroking at about the same Rs as I did. For some reason I have a hard time listening to a saw above 13K. As long as they clean up in the cut I'm happy to have them a tad richer.

Its kind of funny. I'm a bit of a hobby musician and I consider myself to have a good ear. After I got my tach I checked all my saws and they were all within less than a couple hundred RPMs of 12.5K. I guess that's where I like em. All of them are stock save for a few base gasket deletes and MMs. I guess I probably didn't need it but I like knowing the numbers anway.

way better scott. that there earthquake is in it's prime. the earthquake that H2H claims to have heard rumour of hitting vancouver island i am worried about. i have a feeling it's gonna hit right in my back yard and i think it will be taking some tree's down. if i do see it back there i'm gonna try sneak up on it and hogtie it. if it try's to get away i will just 12 gauge it.

Compared to stock how much wider did you go? That looks like a lot of grindings for a small cylinder.

lot of grindings???? thats only about 50-60% of what i total took out,,this is the 2nd time around taking it apart and doing some grinding,, i opened up the exhaust port by 30% and the intake by 10% take or leave a %,, also opened up the transfers and smoothed them out,, i opened it up pretty good,, i will find out tomorrow how well it will hold up we still have a dozen trees to take down and limb out,,, but one thing i do know is the throttle response is a lot better

 

[Walt41]

Can't argue with those results, looking good in the wood.

You have me confused o8f150! First you buy a saw for only 20 percent of it's retail price, then you grind another 30 percent of it away? If you didn't want the saw in the first place . . . .

and on top of that i have already cut 100.00 worth of wood with it too:msp_rolleyes::msp_rolleyes:

 

[MechanicMatt]

Sounding good you old fart, nice clean sounding. :msp_wink:

 

[Big_Wood]

so scott is that the quake yer gonna run against matt's wild thing or is matt just playing a joke on us about that race?

 

[MechanicMatt]

Scott you have a extra throttle linkage and carb for a wild thing laying around? Im not having much luck with my 55 carb on this girl and already mutilated the linkage trying to make it work. If not Ill go beg on the swap meet thread. Does the quake share the mount as the poulan?? I think so, Im gonna have to ship it down to you when finished. You can make the video and post them up, but you'll have to wear the shorts in the video.

If Scott can't fix you up let me know. I may have a couple of those laying around. Shoot me a PM with a picture of what you need, if possible.

I have sucessfuly used coat hangers and cotter pins for throttle linkage. Just some ideas. I know from the other thread you were having some issue with the angle of the 55 carb vs the WT linkage. With coat hanger at least you can experiment with the shape with something that isn't very valuable.
