Iowa Spring GTG II

[8433jeff]

Ok so how about anything less than 40cc? 39.9cc or less should catch all the saws we are talking about and cast out the 025/250 that are on the bottom end of the 40cc class, and everyone has a limber!

No pop-ups or cutting squish or machine work, just old fashion porting, mm, ect... Sound good?

And have two classes.

Losers.



Cheaters.

Can you say... MS210 w/ an 025 power unit???
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

I'd go sub 35cc to keep things interesting...

Well you're always going to have a couple of each... :msp_biggrin:

I took a look at stihl specs and a few of the saws I found that meet the 39.9cc or less category are...
009
021
020T
019T
017
018
015

That should leave enough room for everyone to find something Stihl or other...

Most definately...........

seems like the 021 is only 35cc so you're not edging it out for cheaters that want to load a 025 top end on. Sub 35cc seems like a pretty small class...
The only saws left in the stihl category are...
017
018
015
020
021 (maybe)
192t

and some poulan s25 series are 34cc and we all know shaun wants to run that s25 he made 2 years ago... How about we just make a saw class? best limber under 10lbs? That would edge out the 025/250 by 0.1 lb!

021 is 35.2.....
It don't make weight...

:msp_wink:

does too! 9.7lbs :msp_tongue:
Bill's Saw Shop - Stihl chain saw specifications
And even if the official weights are more than 10lbs I could put it on a diet it's about the individual saw not the mass specs!


Honestly I really could care less. I have several of any category here to choose from, but ya'll are killing my hopes of an 009 build! It makes weight under 10lb but is 36.6cc Boooooooo!!!!:msp_thumbdn:

 

[mitch95100]

how about a Earthquake chainsaw build? The thread on it should give you everything you need to know

I'd rather spend the money on another Tsumura bar instead of a saw I'd use for the chainsaw toss! I like the idea of guys mildly modding their limbers and running what they already own!

I don't think GTGs were meant to be this complicated.....

yeah it'll be peein it on your 3200!

That Stihl will probably hang a ring in protest after getting drubbed by a lowly plastic doorstop...

So the 012 needs an 009 cloak. Thats doable.

Yes... The 012 is a MUCH better doorstop than the 009...
No question...

yeah right! those 012's are nice but they are hard to find in runnable shape... And when you do find a good 012 P&C they are defiantly going to cost you $50+... I'm not spending any cash on a 009-012. The stuff I have was given to me and that's the only reason I might put one together!

Honestly I might spend some $$$ on getting my 132s going. I need a true top handle anyway and it's a true 32cc saw just like the 3200... We'll see how it all goes down between now and Spring... If I get my 655bp running I'll want to run it more than these lil shi*ers...

Anyone know how to sharpen a long saw? I need to get that figured out too!

PS: i'm conscripting Matt to run the other side of the long saw for the rematch against the Wright!!!!

Amen brother. I mostly like to walk around and watch other guys and saws cut. Now and then I will run one of mine, and anyone is welcome to run anything I bring. Races are fun but not the highlight of my day. To each his own, and if this other stuff is going on it bothers me not. I'd just like it to be a bit warmer this year, although the heater in the shop sure kept us comfy last year. JR
