Does anyone know when their site will be back up?

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Have you asked them?

 

[JoeCanuck]

I haven't actually called them, no. Their mainpage doesn't give a date. Just thought someone here might know.

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Well, if anyone would, it'd be them. Their mainpage does give their number...unless you're like me and have it programmed in your phone!

 

[Tree Sling'r]

Their site builder and manager, Dan Whalen quit a couple months ago. If you got some IT skills and like saw stuff maybe they will hire.

 

[TexasTimbers]

I talked to them about a month ago. the site is kaput since, as Tree Slinger says Dan left.
No plans to revive it.

then unless someone has ripped thier site and is willing to host the tech bits and such, this is probably as good as it gets.

Hi,

I'm sure it would be no problem for somebody over there to manage the website for them part-time or so.

Bye

Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't really want to call them because I wasn't ordering anything. I mostly wanted to listen to the wave files everyone here talks about to tune my (fairly) new MS 361. It was a good site. I hope they straighten things out.

I just talked to a fellow at Madson's and he said that there is some site building in progress, but he's not a computer guy so he had no details. He said that Dan quit because he was "tired of the bull*hit". I thought that was a pretty blunt statement considering it was the first time I have ever called them and he didn't know me from Adam.

interesting goings on over there,
Ian

In a business that big there is bound to be some BS. He did get a better offer, that was what Ralph (owner) told me over a cup of coffee by the fire place. Like I said in another post, it was treat going there.

If you tune your 361 to run like that wav file its going to be running rich...mine was turning around 11,500 going by Madsens wav file.

 

[ericjeeper]

I think the most sure fire way to tune

Is by reading the sprak plug.a new plug will not work. has to be one with some use. runt it a while.. on your last cut. while saw is under load and wfo. hit the kill switch and pull the plug.
But hey that is just the way I was taught to do it on snowsleds and dirtbikes.. The plug does not lie.
back in my modifying of Arctic cat snowsleds yes I saw way to many silver tipped plugs..way too many.. If I was a smoker I would have an piston ashtray for every room of the house plus some.smiles

 

[Urbicide]

Get yourself a tach. You will know much more precisely how many RPMs your saw is turning. Besides, my hearing isn't all that great anyhow.

 

[Lakeside53]

yep... particularly with the likes of the 361, and 441

What would you say about this plug...

 

[Lakeside53]

For a 361, not unusual... Didn't we have this "discussion" with Ben Walker a while back???

If it was a 440, I'd be giving it more gas..

Edit - oh, you weren't asking me!
