Hey Stumpy are you bringing your computer with for the weekend? What if there is a chainsaw emergency? What are your private phone numbers so we can get a hold of you at night if we have questions on what rpms are we supposed to tune at and such.
 
Question for all of you guys operating long bars,... (get your darn heads out of the gutter - now only the really sick will get the compound double entendre there):cheers: I was servicing chains and saws tonight after cutting 5 truckloads today. I realized that I have an 8 pin on my 660. My question is, would it cut any better (bind less, exhaust chips and cut chips better) when running 24"-36" bars with a 7-pin? I realize that would effectively drop it from 2nd to 1st gear, using Powerglide terminology (Sawnami). It's always seemed to bog a bit with the 36" bar on and even with a razor chain and maintained rakers, it has NEVER thrown very good chips, not that it would ever compare to the 166, 084, 088, 3120, 2100, 1050, etc.

Sorry for the book, but I'm just curious and trying to ask questions before spending money semi-blindly. Rant over.:dizzy:
 
Ok... I've run a couple more tanks through the build off 039 real fat... Tuned it where it where it wants to run and made a test cut...
I'm pleased...
:rock:
Real pleased...
I might even have a respectable runner on my hands...
Hope it holds together long term...:msp_rolleyes:

Is that the black one?
 
Had the perfect storm today. The 962 has had a leak at the primer bulb return line that goes into the tank that I have been putting up with until I had the time to fix it.

Well today it died while I was using it. I found that the coil wire had grounded itself to the cylinder head. I pulled the wire away from the cylinder head fin and decided to pull it over to see if it would fire now.

Welllllllllllll it fired all right----------------- ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!! :msp_ohmy::msp_w00t:

It sure hurts your hands beating out the fire even when you have gloves on.:blob2::blob2::blob2:
