Husky 371

[redprospector]

i dunno?i heard you cut a couple cookies while back i was thinking 125?is what it sounded like to me,250 huh i bet you know more than your letting off about that motor,anyways sean had a four stroke 450 he was building has he had a chance to race it?

Naw, he's got a couple of them in the works that I know about but he don't tell me everything he's working on. I guess it's the element of surprise, but I'll bet I'll be the one building a chain for it when it's done, so I ain't too worried. :hmm3grin2orange:

He may have decided that a 450 would be too heavy to make the change overs quickly on a 2 or 3 cut race.

Imagine that. It's not too far from stock though.
I guess I can't run it in this yard anymore, one of the neighbors started crying about it.

Just for fun.

When we do our stock saw racing, the first cut is a bore cut up, then down to finish the biscuit, then another biscuit up, and a final cut down. Only a certain area to do it in, about 6" I reckon. Go over the line and you're disqualified.

Anyone use 1. We got a saw to clear a few palm trees and it sounds like a deisel. I stripped it down to work on it put it back together and still it sounds like a deisel.
Any ideas?

by the way peanut,how do those palms cut?i would have never guessed there to be cutting in iraq...

The cutting is easy, the hard part is figuring where they want to go. They act like Red Elm, they start to fall true, then go all sorts of haywire.
They also have a locust type tree here, other than scaring the pants off me dropping a snake out of it, they are perfect for teaching folks how to use a saw. You can't screw up with them.
