Morning Carl. I don't know on the 56cc .

Good morning .coffee is good.

Darn, I ment to type 56mm as the bore size rather than the original 54mm.

Tie guy: I'll get the jug off this pup later and see just what we are up against. I also have a MS650 carcass so maybe go both ways.

I've always been a 'no replacement for displacement' kind of mindset.

The extra displacement with small transfers and loose squish don't help though.

Good to know. Thanks bud.

It also appeals to my 'cheap arse geezer' mentality.

Yeah.. I would think just removing the base gasket and raising the transfers .5mm would make for a solid running 066. Might use a bit more fuel..

It may be headed your way Don..

Morning everone . Carl tank/handle is in the mail. Hope everyone enjoys the liquid sunshine and has a great day.

 

[67L36Driver]

Cloudy and windy here. Setting up for another storm.

Driving my next door neighbor nuts. Works construction and hard to get the jobs done.

Thanks bigtuna!

Nope. Not in the cards.

You can take the detour up 29 or I can meet you in Cameron on I35 to hand off the Mac.

I'm seeing a pattern in the junk from the landscaper.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

is that a different saw from what you show'd yestiddy? what's he feeding them saws? let me guess, no air filter, dirty fins, bad mix

046 yesterday. 066 today.
Yup, all of the above. Plus ignorant workers who don't give a crap.

My middle name is safe [emoji41]

Ok I may have stretched the truth a bit.

Nobody around stocks .050

Not to kick you, but why are you running .050 on a 385xp Husky? You'd be a lot better off with either .058 or .063 gauge. They stretch less with significant horsepower applied to them in big wood and they're easier to find... Not to mention since Stihl chains are predominately .063-3/8" that would make life easier. You can run whatever ou want on it, but if our complaining about parts availability, the least you could do would be to help yourself and use the easiest chains to find...

A .050 bar saves you about $140 throughout its lifetime if you keep the rails straight and dressed. When they wear you can start running. 058 then you can step to an .063. And stretching is hardly a concern on a 84DL chain. None of the wood is hardly what I consider big. Cottonwood gets larger but 99% of what's logged every day could be done with 72dl. But this doesn't change the fact that 90% of Husqvarna equipment in the area in which I'm from is sold with .050.

 

[Locust Cutter]

An order to Bailey's, Madsen's or otherwise would fix that easily. Life is too short and there are too many options available to the consumer to run a saw a certain way. Hw would it save you $140?

The .050 bar wears into a. 058 and .063. 24 inch bars are 70ish. You buy .063 and when it wears you pitch it. The only reason I'm not running. 404 is that I'm going use up my 3/8 stuff. Throughout the course of the year .404 will be cheaper per dl by quite a bit.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Gotcha.

 

[cuttinties]

I'd like to apologize if I came off grouchy. I'm a bit sore right now. I got lucky today.
