What a great idea! Dennis, can I send you my Ski Doo MXZx 800 and Arctic Cat ZR 900 twins for a little work? I'll stay with single pipes on them to keep the good bottom end and midrange torque. The Ski Doo makes about 135HP at 7850 RPM and the AC makes 150 at 7500. I also have a MachZ 800 triple with triple pipes that might make a nice saw motor if you could get it to run in reverse which shouldn't be a problem because it's a case reed design. Just flip the timing.

The xcr 800 is an 02 so its a Triple (what a ride )
So i suppose i will leave it alone, well untill it snows.

 

[Dennis]

Eric, glad you are enjoying your 2165...I have a friend here in town that does sled mods...he runs an 800 twin in his self built frame..sweet ride...

Well, here it is sunday morning, and I am on my way back out to the store to finish up Dans 3120, get some more done on Steves Craftsman...Mikes 335 California special looks pretty interesting..and of course Eric, your 2149....

Rotax Rob called me last night, and he is on his way up here this morning..bringing the Rotax...for a week of saw building...doing some work on his double ender and the 111 Jonsered he will be racing at the end of June...

And of course he is bringing his clubs...will have some pics from the coveted Wells Gray Golf Resort...

makin snow with the Rotax

Rotax Robert here, I just decided that maybe the weather got a little better up here in Canada. I just drove up here a week ago to do a bit of saw testing with my Rotax..Anyway he gives me a room for free the first night, and when I wake-up both him and my Rotax are gone ..As soon as Dennis gets back from where ever he is, maybe I can get my saw back...I found this pic somewhere on the internet, so I am off to find him. Now you all know that my saw is ???? near more valuable than my wife (and I do mean ???? near) So I am headed up north a few miles cuz it looks like it is snowing wherever he is, and I am ???? sure Lambert is with him somewhere..

Dennis,
How backed up are ya ??? Going to need a 385 and passably a 2083.......
You going to be around Saturday???? I'll give a ring.....................

 

[Dennis]

[woodsjunkie]

Dennis,
Where are you it's 10.00 am my time (7am your time I think) .. I let the phone ring 20 times .. Wake up.. I'll try you later,(after noon sometime)have some things to do .

 

[Dennis]

Rotax Robert here...Just getting ready to Leave Clearwater for Home. I had a great time and learned a bunch from Dennis, lou and Scott...I have been here long enough because even the Eskimo wimmen are starting to look good. I am going home with 3 great running saws and a Broken Rotax but will have her fixed up for my next show in 2 weeks.
For those of you comming to the Clearwater Log Show in July, you are in for a treat...The people are great up here even if they are Canadian. Also to Carl & Diane, thank you for the great dinner and golf. Looks like Dennis has the Rotax figured out as long as it is daytime, but he sure could use a bit more practice on th late night cuts. Talk to you all later and look forward to the Clearwater Revival.

Earth First, I'll Log the Other Planets Later

It Lives!!!

Well I finally had some time to look at my old Super 930 again tonight...modified Ht carb from an 088...I built all the mounting brackets and the carb linkage tonight...put the oiler and all other clutch side pieces in...and was ready for test...fired first pull...how sweet...but then needed some adjustments...and got it runnig pretty nice...not perfect but nice...broke it in tonight...will do the final work this weekend i think...have to race in next weekend...(June 8)...that was with a stock muffler...building the header this week...for the pipe...let you know how that goes with pics...b I think we have a sleeper here...she looks old...but, it sounds something fierce...

But if anyone has never seen a backfire on a saw, that takes the clutch off...wow..ran into it tonight for the second time on a 394 ..saw backfired...cut the key...and then the clutch let go...and it jumps off the crank...sits in the dirt spinning for prolly 5 seconds before it catches...found it about 150 feet away in the grass...you dont want to be in front of them....

 

[WOLF_RIVER_MIKE]

Dennis, is this one of the saws you've had on you roof? Jeez, first pull. You guys know something your not telling the rest of us, I'm convinced.

 

[Harley]

I got a present from the man in brown yesterday.

It won't see wood til at least friday. I can't wait.

It's loud too!
Thanks Dennis!

BTW, thanks for the suspenders. How did you know I suffer from noassatall?

 

[Dennis]

Mike...in my presence 930's will never see a roof..unless that is what we are cutting...lol...I couldnt believe it either...but fire on first pull...now I am heading to the welders tomorrow night....his wife is beginning to hate me...need to get the carb mounted solid and the pipe built..man i wish I could weld and it didnt look like chicken scratch...save me so much time....

Harley...I am waiting to see what you think...I cut with that saw against a couple others.... I think you will like...a buddy with a stock 066 went home ashamed...granted..that isnt much of a feat...lol...let me know....xtras are all part of it..(suspenders).....llamabert taught me that..thank him...

 

[woodsjunkie]

Dennis,
Don't for get the piston stop when you ship the 2149.
compression release plug for the 2165.
The more I run my 2165 the more I like it .very impressive!!!!!
Hope the 2149 is as impressive................
Don't forget my quote on the 2083- (2077)

 

[Harley]

Dennis,

I can't say what I really want to, but it's a ???? fine machine you made there.

I only made about ten cuts with it, but its real fast.

 

[Harley]

Here's the top.

I don't know what else to say, except thanks.

I can't wait till I can really get into some wood with it.

THANKYOU DENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
