don't judge me man

Well I know I can't judge you, especially after what happened in the back of your Honda Saturday night.opcorn:




Thread should be back on track by Wednesday.:wink2:

 

[Wild Knight]

Back seat, eh? You guys were in the potty a while too.

 

[spike60]

Great!! it should be here by Wednesday.

Well..........it will be Thursday. Yesterday was a rare no UPS delivery day for me, but it will leave today because I have several things coming.

Hog it into some big wood right from the get-go. Gonna take a several tanks to really wake up; I don't think they're all that quick out of the box compared to when they're broken in. Ten is ideal, but you should start to notice a difference by the 4th or 5th tank.

Thanks For the heads up Spike. I was going to ask you about how to run it, 5-10 minutes in a good size log to allow the carb to adjust it's self correct?

any new updates? any new pics of the saw or mm?

 

[mdavlee]

The 576 is supposed to be there today. The 441 muffler mod was posted a page back.

it's here!!! UPS man just got done upsetting my dog lol. I'll have pics up soon. One very small issue the outside spike/dog is missing, or do they even come with an outside dog? other than that it sure is a slick looking saw.

 

[mdavlee]

The other 576 I had didn't come with one. I was planning on the big oem ones or a set of 4 point pro safety. I can't wait to see pictures and videos.

Awesome Andy! Keep us updated buddy. That saw is in good hands for sure.

Pics.

 

[porsche965]

Good pics! Thanks.

I see a ventilated clutch, does that mean it is making so much power more cooling is needed?

New technology is here to stay.

This should be interesting to say the least.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I was so focused on the 441 that I didn't even notice how the 046 compared to the 7900. The 440 and 460 are still my most favorite 70cc saws, with the 372 being right behind.

I've always thought the 046mag pulled stronger than the 7900 in the cut.

 

[Officer's Match]

Now its getting exciting...

 

[Andyshine77]

My initial thoughts after looking the saw over are positive. I was told the linkage to the carb was too complex and over engineered. They were wrong, it's no more complex than Stihl's master switch. The 576 has better fit and finish than the 372 and also seems more robust, the mag case and handle mounts in particular. The PTO side is cleaner as you can see in the pics.

Perception. The 7900 simply makes no fuss, it goes about it's business calm, smooth and quiet.

You MIGHTY RIGHT about that Andy. I just made a post the other night about perception. You have to have a clock on something to really know. And the Dolmar's IMO, are the worst to fool ya. I cant say enough about the 7300 Mike and I ran.
It was just so deceivingly strong it was funny.

It has an inboard clutch - nice!

Only the small Husky saws have outboard clutches.

Few more Pics.

The filter has a nice O ring.

The 395xp and 3120 have outboard clutches don't they...

You know I think you're right about that, as they're older saws. I was thinking more about the 372, 385/390.
